Morgan33 3,671 Posted June 19, 2015 It looks like the original shade of burgundy, which I've always maintained is superior. Maybe they are just using the lighter shade on the patch to tip the hat to those early years? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they are just using the lighter shade on the patch to tip the hat to those early years?I agree, it's a much better shade.I wouldn't be surprised if the designer just accidentally grabbed the wrong logo and went with the older version. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMW79 196 Posted June 19, 2015 I think the team's color palette looks great without black, but they should keep the puck in the logo black because, well, pucks are black. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The former franchise, the Nordiques, had a puck in its logo that wasn't black. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't hate the blue puck -- the black puck is just a personal preference -- and the blue puck is actually a nice nod to the Nordiques logo... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan33 3,671 Posted June 20, 2015 Icethetics has confirmed that the only changes to the Avalanche uniforms are the replacement of the "Foot." The side panels, bib piping and colour bleed (blue touching burgundy on the home) will all remain untouched. If it wasn't evident from the bland uninspired anniversary logo, this is a team that clearly doesn't get it when it comes to aesthetics. The "Foot" was one of the most clever and attractive secondary logos in league history and I can't imagine its replacement being anything besides a bore. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why they won't change their jerseys is baffling, and now why they get rid of the foot logo is confusing. It seems like they have NO grasp on good design and branding. I will not be shocked when we see a rectangular Colorado state flag patch in all its out of place glory. Just look at the Colorado Rapids, who is owned by the same Kroenke guys as the Avs, and their new kits. RED BLUE AND YELLOW. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WSU151 8,548 Posted June 21, 2015 Yeah it just makes too much sense to keep it. That's why they changed it up. As someone who loved the yeti foot since the beginning...what a shame. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
