Huh? Are you referring to the burgundy shoulder/hem stripes? The equipment they use on the road is the same blue as at home.

Which Canucks look would be the right one?

I'd be down for Cobb County Braves, but only if they play the Big Boss Man theme at the beginning of every home game.

Weird that a single family from Arkansas owns just about* every single pro sports team in Colorado.

Worst Case Ontario. New band name, I call it!

Thank goodness the Avs ended this in 4. My stress levels couldn't handle more of that series plus a cup series. Major props to Draisaitl. The dude almost single handedly won that game while his body was falling apart.

In theory, this is a great finals matchup. And, in theory the playoffs this year should have been a blast. But instead, star players are legit quitting on their teams in a game 7 and every game is a 30 point blowout by half time.

I disagree. The playoffs before the finals were probably just as bad as this year, but those finals were 10x more entertaining than this one. The NBA should be embarrassed by the last 3 minutes of this game. That was brutal to watch.

This may be just me having rose colored nostalgia glasses, but this is the worst NBA playoffs I can remember. It's been nothing but players giving 50% effort and 30 point blowouts every game.

When a child (Nike) gets behind the wheel of a car and runs into a tree, you don't blame the child... You blame the 30-year-old woman (MLB) who got in the passenger seat and said, "Drive kid i trust you."

I image they would make the sell of the franchise dependent on the new owner agreeing to remainder of this deal (if it actually happens). It's too big of an investment from the city to not guarantee the 30 years regardless of a new team owner.

Tampa still scares me. Their defense and goalie matchup the best against the Avs.

He actually did play pretty well. The rest of his team either hung him out to dry or didn’t bother to show up though. The first/third goal were because of terrible defense, and the fourth goal he was missing half his equipment.

Koskinen is a good goalie and started the majority of their games during the season. But don't count Mike Smith out yet. This is what happened in Game 1 against Calgary and it's just what he does. He'll come back next game and have a stellar game. One of the TNT guys (I think it was Biz) described him perfectly as a roller coaster and you never know what you're gonna get.

The Rockies City Connect is ok. Adding green and the license plate inspired font are great and I hope they use those things in the future. The cap logo is bad. Everything else is meh. But, at least it doesn’t have the flag on it. As a native, I’ve grown to dislike that flag because it’s on everything.

My only complaint with TNT's coverage this season/playoffs is Don Koharski. Get him off my screen. He lacks any sort of public speaking skills and he is consistently wrong about every call they ask him about.

Oh no. This would have to be the worst looking Stanley Cup Final ever, right? It's ten times worse than the last time they faced off.

Using this logo on a solid green hat would have looked better.

The second round choking is a little over blown. Last year against Vegas is a choke only because they lost 4 straight after being up 2-0. People forget Vegas tied the Avs for the president's trophy. 2020 against Dallas they were down to their 3rd string goalie. And 2019 against San Jose they were the 8 seed and barely made the playoffs.

100% agree. The sleeve numbers on both jerseys need to be outlined in silver as well.

As the boards number one hater of the Avs switching away from black, I can say that I have finally gotten used to the blue. The blue numbers help a ton. But like others have said it's a lateral move. It's along the same lines as the Bruins black socks, and the Blues white numbers. Does it look better? Sure, probably. But it definitely doesn't look right.

I try not be the bash the refs guy, and in this case the terrible calls seem to be cancelling each other out, but this whole Edmonton/Calgary crew should be fired after this game.

This dude and this jersey Also, watching Mike Smith self implode is always fun.

Yeah, but your original post made it seemed like you were shocked that ASU was top priority in their own arena. I was merely pointing out that the NHL isn't the top priority in most of their arenas, so this shouldn't be seen as a shock.

That's just the new academic logo and word mark for the name change. You're still going to see the standalone bison logo for athletics.
