CreamSoda Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 The most frustrating part of the Avs continued use of these terrible sweaters? The team itself has been awful in them. It's not like they are winning Cups in this look and want to keep that brand going. They are a terrible team on the ice and look the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe back in the day, but most (if not all) modern day NFL broadcast booths are mid-level. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Considering that they had regular athletic gold as a secondary/third color with the regular home and road sweaters, when they had that alt, and the fact that their home sweaters are now bright athletic gold, why did they use Mustard gold?

Yes, but with a big ol' asterisk on it. Football is almost never viewed from a field level, or even just above field level. TV views it from a rather high angle so you can see the formations and appreciate what's going on the entire width of the field. In football, sleeve numbers are actually officially called "TV Numbers" and were introduced when games started showing on television regularly. Look how big Ohio State's were when they were first introduced: Purely for television But it certainly helps for the announcers, too. If I had it my way, there'd be helmet numbers on everybody. I had one game against a team with helmet numbers, and it was the easiest game I ever called. Sure it may not allow for much uniqueness, but think of the announcers! lol As for that asterisk, I think they ended up on the shoulders purely because there was space. Sleeves were real back then, not just the sides of shoulder pads. Sleeves had stripes. The shoulders had nothing. So it made sense on most teams (anyone without hoop stripes a la the Colts) to put them on the shoulders...and there they've (mostly) stayed. Good logic meets happenstance. When they work together, you get your best solutions. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mustard color was created accidentally, as they placed a gold material (almost a thick mesh, but not quite) over a navy material, creating a darker mustard color. The shade of gold was most likely darker than they used already, but looked even worse with this odd material choice. One of the strangest jerseys I've ever seen in person. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj882000 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 This could also go in the "video games with wrong sports jerseys" thread, wherever that went, but to piggyback on this discussion I remember seeing that jersey in NHL 2004, and EA wound up giving it a brighter shade of yellow than it had in real life, similar to what they're using now: I think it looks much better in that shade, for what it's worth. I'd say this could be evidence to support that, if they genuinely didn't know how dark the jersey would look on the ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get flack for this, but this jersey doesn't look too bad in this photo. Whether you like overly detailed logo's or not, you have to at least appreciate all the effort and detail that went into that crest. Unfortunately, when you view this jersey in action, the gold and navy layers tend to blend together, even more, creating that horribly muddy, 'mustard' effect that has (rightfully) earned this uniform so much derision. Had they not used the double-panel format and went with Nashville's current gold, the uniforms wouldn't be that bad. Dare I say, it would make for a perfectly acceptable alternate for a modern franchise. The striping is actually pretty conservative for that era and the sleeves do a much better job of creating subtle 'fangs' than the panels on the current uniforms.

wildwing64 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 If not for the accidental mustard effect and the logo being unpleasant to look at, this would be better than what they have today. Mind you, if you take away the silver and the side panels it'd basically be the same thing. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
