The Bauer one is the same shade as the Blues shoulder yokes, lightning isn't the issue... Must be a manufacturing thing, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is always what happens when you go with anything beside black, navy, royal, red or white. Different brands usually have different shades for specific colors and in this case it's pretty obvious. I'd be really curious seeing a Bauer Avs helmet next to one of their regular royal, it seems like they didn't bother and went with the standard shade seeing it next to the Blues jersey...

A majority of complaints that I've seen online regarding the ads on helmets (and if you want to bring in another sport, the NBA with baseline ads on certain courts) has people glossing over the fact that the virus cost the NHL to lose money and they needed some way to get that money back. Of course, people who use the Internet to rant don't understand logic, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Just when we thought the Ducks were safe from helmet sponsors, they've just announced Pacific Premier Bank as theirs. Genuinely surprised it's not UCI Health, considering their logo has been awkwardly shoved into the Ducks' social media icons for some time.

Red isn't as noticeable as other colors but if you had a red CCM helmet in one hand and a red Bauer helmet in the other, you could tell it's slightly different. Bauer's shade of white has always been a bit more dull. Their navy is darker. Green has a lighter and more saturated, etc. It's no big deal most of the time no one would notice. Maybe the second batch of steel blue Bauer helmets will be less royal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It doesn't really help that steel blue is probably an incredibly uncommon color for use on helmets, so there's not as much practice for manufacturing and color-matching that color in helmet shells.

I know at some point in the late 00s-early 10s, the Canadiens' royal blue helmets were a shade or two lighter than the royal blue used by other teams, if that's still the case, Bauer should have just shipped Habs helmets to the Avalanche. Would have been closer to steel blue than what they have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be more consistent with their alt as well. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
