ieatstaples Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Oversized sleeve numbers? Fat collar? Off-center, asymmetrical, yet arched script? Methinks Adidas is getting a head start on designing NHL jerseys...they own Reebok, after all.Yeah, no.None of this is new. None of the has to do with Adidas. It's the same Reebok's been pulling for the past couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 So is the center circle of the logo black, and not navy blue like the shoulder patches on the home and road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Just like last year's jerseys, they are close to being decent. Do the bigger shoulder numbers even really work? Hem stripes are not a bad thing. The 5280 on the too thick collar is kinda cool, but should have gone on the back or on the insider of the collar. I get it, but don't get it, as to why they are going with the C logo. They ditched the foot so I guess they wanted to pimp the hell out of the new C logo, but it looks so plain compared to the regular logo. I don't like the mountain version on the leaked 3rd, but why not use that version if they aren't going to use the primary?Here's the kicker though: Detroit's might be even worse than the Avs with the stash.

WSU151 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The center circle and the collar are clearly black. Hopefully they're not using the "the circle looks like a hockey puck!!!" excuse. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The center circle and the collar are clearly black. Hopefully they're not using the "the circle looks like a hockey puck!!!" excuse. ZOMG!!Look at how clever they are. The replaced the sun with a puck. New logo. Done.

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Not bad. With the exception of the removal of the yeti footprints, Im kinda digging these new Avalanche jerseys.And yes swapping out the sun with a hockey puck in the "C" is beyond brillant.

Sport Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Who had the concept logo that was a swirly avalanche around the circle? I loved that. That blows what they actually did so far out of the water it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I guess I'll be the one to express the Unpopular Opinion. I like the new Avs alts and the Colorado state flag-inspired design elements.The truth is that I've never liked the Avs' logo set. The A/mountain primary never appealed to me. The Yeti foot, while clever, just wasn't my cup of tea either. This was my favourite Aves look up until the unveiling of the current alternate.I love the new C/mountain logo. It's cleaner. Bolder. I don't even mind the state flag on the shoulder due to the similarities in colour schemes. It's not like the Flames sticking Alberta's royal blue flag on a red sweater.The stadium series sweater is a joke, but when are these things not? The only legitimately good one was the Islanders', and they ditched that to appease the G-ddamn Nets. The state flag stuff works for me though. I really do hope they make the newly released alternate the primary as soon as they can.

GMW79 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The Avalanche have been basking in the sun of the Colorado state flag for too long already, 'cuz their entire identity has become hopelessly watered down.The TV numbers look bad, but I get the reasoning behind them.The "external hangar effect" on the collar is apparently becoming a thing between this and the Ducks' thirds. Tacky. Thank you NHL for being so "pioneering." Does anybody have an over/under on how long it is before the Avs just go with the "C" logo permanently? Emulating the Rockies? Good job, guys. Another "C" is pretty bland too. The Canadiens, Calgary, Columbus, the Canucks... Come on Carolina and Caps! Join the Club!And the Wings' jerseys are going to be painful...

Dynasty Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The Avalanche just never really had a great look to me. I'm welcome for a change, but to the new alternates? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The new alternate logo is not primary mark material. It doesn't even depict an 'avalanche' in any way. It's just a generic, recoloured, Rockies logo. The Canucks get endless flak on these boards for not depicting their namesake on their primary logo so why should the Avalanche follow suit?The current primary on the other hand is a thing of genius. It depicts an 'A,' a 'C,' the sport of hockey, and an avalanche all at once. It even makes a subtle nod to the Nordiques franchise as the circle combines with the puck to create a hidden 'Q.' Sure it's a little more detailed than most 'classic' hockey logos, but they are a 90's team and their logo should reflect that. The Yeti patch might not be for everyone but at least it's an actual secondary logo instead of a lazy, tacked on flag. I don't think flags have any place on a hockey uniform as I can't think of a single example where it looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a generic, recoloured, Rockies logo. The Canucks get endless flak on these boards for not depicting their namesake on their primary logo so why should the Avalanche follow suit?It's all aesthetics. Even the "rules" are subjective. You can't go "well how come we can't hold the Avalanche to the same standard as the Canucks?" because the Avs are not the Canucks.In Colorado's case? The alternate is a mountain. And there's a C from the state flag. It doesn't seem inappropriate for a team named the "Colorado Avalanche."It's also not the Rockies' logo. It's an homage to it, sure. It stops shot of just adopting the Rockies' look in full.The current primary on the other hand is a thing of genius. I disagree. It's an overly designed "xtreme" logo from the 90s. It's really starting to show its age, in my opinion. It depicts an 'A,' a 'C,' the sport of hockey, and an avalanche all at once. It even makes a subtle nod to the Nordiques franchise as the circle combines with the puck to create a hidden 'Q.'The "Q" bit is a real stretch. As for the rest? Yeah, it's all true. That doesn't make me like it, though. It's just not aesthetically pleasing, in my opinion.Sure it's a little more detailed than most 'classic' hockey logos, but they are a 90's team and their logo should reflect that.The idea that teams from the 90s should look the part can work. I don't think the Avalanche's current logo works. The Yeti patch might not be for everyone but at least it's an actual secondary logo instead of a lazy, tacked on flag. I don't think flags have any place on a hockey uniform as I can't think of a single example where it's looked good.The flag is primarily blue with red elements. The sweater is slate blue with maroon elements. It doesn't really clash. As for the foot? Never liked it. Sorry.

fouhy12 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I think it's fair to say that the Avs have the worst brand identity in the NHL, and probably in the major American sports leagues. They have four different uniforms, and I don't think a single one looks good. Just awful from their front office. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
