bigreid07 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 You guys are nuts. Those Avs jerseys suck, clearly, but there's no way they are the worst Edge jerseys so far. Are people forgetting about Nashville's away jerseys?not many people want to remember the Nashville jerseysI do...i love them, and I'm not alone in saying that.I like the Avs jersey...used their colors well.

CreamSoda Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 according to the RBK dude, the Avs had the option of keeping the exact same design but choose not to.WOW, good call there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 From what i believe, all shorts are to be RBK too correct? I think that is Svatos (not sure) and he is wearing bauer shorts so that isn't likely to be their shorts, although their RBK shorts could be plain black i suppose. Also, the avs website still doesn't have anything.It's J.M. Liles PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaytch Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 This makes me think that perhaps the Flyers will be one of the only teams to have their "own" template (at least in the NHL - we know that an AHL team is using it.) CBJ also has their "own", right? I don't recall seeing another one like theirs.Minnesota has the same template as Columbus, they just added stripes at the bottom...Maybe teams had lots of input, but if you take a closer look, the avs template wouldn't have worked with RBK's choice of available template, every team that kept their previous look could do it because they had basic pattern that worked well with RBK choice of template, just minimal changes were made.A mountain template would have been impossible to do, that's why they changed radically, they just couldn't keep it.

Sodboy13 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Once again, RBK deserves only part of the blame.The teams must take the lion's share of the "credit" for these messes - it has been amply demonstrated that teams who chose to respect their uniform tradition could do so, and did.Exactly. This jersey is evidence of nothing but laziness. Take a good look at it, and you have to wonder if the approval process for the changes involved little more than an RBK rep describing all the revolutionary elements of the new Edge template over the phone, and an Avs exec on the other end of the line saying "Okay, sure, fine, whatever." I think most team executives are convinced that the new product, no matter how unattractive or unoriginal it is, will sell like hotcakes simply because of its newness (and I'm sure the Buffaslug did plenty to reinforce that notion last year.) It's up to the fanbase to prove them wrong, and sadly, I think there's far too many sheep out there, willing to blindly hand over their cash for whatever's new, for that to happen.

BrySmalls Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Well I'm glad I still have my 6 "Vintage" Avalanche jerseys to wear!I was only going to get 2 Edge jerseys, Colorado and Toronto. I mostlikely wont get Colorado now. Maybe Boston will take their place.Please do suck new Leafs jersey!!!! It's like you spoke to me.At least I've got my 3 "vintage" avs jerseys.Toronto is next, and being from the area you can't help but have a soft spot for the team. I hope they look much better than my poor Avalanche got.do you have the avs first alternate sweater? the one where the middle is black?They wore a black alternate?Thats news to me.I have:White Bourque w/2001 SCF PatchWhite RoyWhite Roy w/nhl2000 patchWhite Forsberg w/2001 SCF patchDark Forsberg /1996 SCF patchAlt Tanguay with 10th anniversary patchWas the black alt a "fan" or "fashion" jersey like the black red wings jersey?DanI think it was. I seem to recall the white jersey with the white part being black.I have a light blue one that they called "ice" which was also just a fashion jersey.They wore it during the 1995-96 season. I have one but cannot take any photos of it since it is at home in NY and not here in VA with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying the team consciously made the decision to have very little input. Teams that just wanted whatever the template gave them, well, that's what they got. Other franchises, who had a distinct idea of what their uniforms should look like, and how they wanted their brand presented on-ice and on the rack at stores, worked at it, and made RBK desgin their jerseys the way they truly wanted them. Look at Boston, Columbus, Vancouver, Detroit, Montreal, Carolina, Chicago in the AHL - every one of these designs violates the alleged constraints of the Edge template, and makes the likes of Nashville, Florida, and Colorado look that much sillier for just going along.The blame for the Predators' new uniforms rests squarely on the Predators' organization, because they couldn't be bothered to care.
