Morgan33 Posted June 19, 2015 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMW79 Posted June 19, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former franchise, the Nordiques, had a puck in its logo that wasn't black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Morgan33 Posted June 20, 2015 Share 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.

Sodboy13 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 If they give the shoulders the Calgary flag treatment, I will become the live-action version of that 10-hour Archimedes laughing loop.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted June 21, 2015 Share 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. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
