Yes, I realize this is old news thanks to some pretty accurate leaks. However, now that the Avalanche have an *official* third jersey, I’d like to offer my opinion.
This is a pretty poor excuse for a jersey. It recycles many current and past elements and offers nothing new or notable. The color scheme is just an inverted home sweater. The diagonal lettering on the front is the exact same as the old third jersey. We waited a year and a half for this?
A recent trend with some teams is surrounding the logo with the name of the team. Minnesota and Pittsburgh both have jerseys like this, and after @rboulding showed me a jersey concept that’s been floating around the web, I believe the Avs could have really done well with this idea.

That logo is about the only thing I like about that concept, though. Just like the actual third jersey, there’s too much blue! Personally, I would have loved to see the Avalanche unveil an entirely new concept that presented some fresh ideas. And for pete’s sake, either give that foot logo some real use or just get rid of it already!
Do you like the new jersey? What would you change? Let your opinions loose in the comments!
