Whether we like it or not there are a lot of unconscious perceptions tied to the color black. Seeing Sakic race down the ice in a black helmet and brawls with Red Wings definitely contributes to that gritty/tough perception that I associated with those Avs teams. Something about the blue just doesn't hold that same visual weight. I just can't imagine the photo below with that goofy blue helmet. You can say that's because I'm used to black but I think it's more than that. Is that stupid? Yeah, probably. But color theory is very real. I agree that if we flip it though it would've felt like an unjustified bizarre BFBS. I don’t know about you, but this photo still looks pretty gritty and tough to me. 10 "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few media members have mentioned it, and fans on Twitter and HFBoards have heard the same thing from people in the organization. The people who were in charge with switching to these colours/jerseys in 2017 are no longer employed by the team either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've outlined them in silver. 100% agree. The sleeve numbers on both jerseys need to be outlined in silver as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty hard to make these guys look less gritty and tough. I think that picture convinced me that it's the breezers that really bother me. Again it's one of those changes that was the 'right move' but didn't translate. Like the standardization of the Tigers D and the larger D hat logo. 1 Denver Nuggets Kansas City Chiefs Tampa Bay Rays Colorado Buffaloes Purdue Boilermakers Florida Gators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustDevil61 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I think Colorado now ultimately looks better with a more coherent color scheme (maybe use burgundy shells), but in hindsight the black did not look bad. It’s not unlike the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ pewter, being the primary equipment color but virtually nonexistent on the actual jersey. Given that the Avalanche have added navy, I’ve long felt that swapping out black for navy equipment could also have had the same effect. 1 http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Regardless, if it ends up being Colorado - Edmonton for the West final it should just be Edm whites vs Col darks the whole time. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFirestormToPurify Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Worst case scenario for the Cup finals Oilers vs Hurricanes '06 rematch. For obvious reasons. Both teams look very underwhelming at home Best uniform matchup imo Rangers vs Avalanche. Slight edge over Rangers vs Blues. But both matchups would look great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing early exit to an inferior team, but went 7-1 at home so the team will be convinced the black jerseys are lucky or whatever. I just hope I live to see the day they play another playoff home game in their actual colors. It's been a 13 year drought so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 This graphic really gives us a great look at the difference between the Avs blue gear and black gear. Kind of odd to include both. 1 https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Blue was definitely the right choice for the gear. It looks great with the home sweater. They just need to fix the road jersey to have a little more blue… 9 "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."
