Colorado were the only red, white, blue and black team It's not a loss to jettison when you already have a dark color that contrasts with the rest of your color scheme (burgundy) and streamlines the palette of the team's primary uniforms to three main colors; burgundy, blue and silver. Black was always superfluous to the team's overall look, and without that thin jersey stripe to give the faint veneer of justification, they looked like they came from a completely different uniform than the rest of the uniform. Even if you really wanted that two-stripe look...you have navy blue in your colorways already. Black is completely useless when you have both burgundy and navy as dark color options. It's just redundant at that point as a jersey element. Biting the bullet and just finally ditching the superfluous black equipment in favor of color matching is just an aesthetic improvement. 43 minutes ago, AFirestormToPurify said: I'm only seeing grey and black jerseys in the picture I quoted.

That's just your opinion anyway. I think the black gear looked fine 37 minutes ago, spartacat_12 said: Colorado wears burgundy, not red.

If I were trying to be condescending, I'd be :censored:-talking you for your opinion not being like mine, not explaining my own opinion about the matter. Quote That's just your opinion anyway. I think the black gear looked fine And I think it looks like a beer-league team that doesn't have matching equipment for their jerseys. I'm not pretending I speak for everybody here, that'd be :censored:ing dumb; but I think it's not a good look for a pro sports franchise to look like they just came into the rink with a set of basic black helmets and gloves they bought at the local shop.

It feels condescending, as if you want your posts to stand out from the others because your opinion is better than everyone else's. For what it's worth, I liked the black gear because it was a quirk. Like Boston's yellow socks, NYR's lettering instead of a logo, the Blackhawks using about 30 colors in their logo while the jerseys are red, white and black only or any team that uses mismatching home and away jerseys. It was part of the charm and like it or not, black has always been part of their colour scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the shades of blue are different, but they're closer to each other than they are to Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
