DHester23 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 So, I've been looking at old Nordiques photos and had a question. Did they switch to a different shade of blue at some point? On NHLuniforms.com, it doesn't indicate that that's the case. However, looking through different photos it seems like they went to a lighter blue at some point.

AndrewG70 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 It could be the lighting. As far as I know, the Nordiques used the same shade of blue throughout their NHL existence.

TruColor Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 As far as their NHL existence goes, yes - they used the same Blue for their time in the NHL. However, they used a different Blue for their WHA time; I'm not sure when the actual change took place. <---> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleuet Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 HiI am 99% sure the powder blue was used until the end of 1974-75 (WHA) (it may be 1973-74, I am not sure).They used a navy blue sweater in 75-76 (WHA) and then switched to the "NHL" blue in 1976-77 with the fleur de lys sweater.

Looks like I may need to make some corrections to my database.Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
