In-depth analysis about Av's downturn

After watching horrible highlights and reading terrible recaps. I decided to take it upon myself to see if I can find the root of all the evils that are haunting the Avalanche as of late. After much research, I present the following:

Star-divide

You see, best I can tell the major downfall of the team started with this:

The DAMN UNIPRON!!!

I present the following evidence

And the most damning evidence of them all

I rest my case.

You must be pretty bored at the office today, huh? Good work!

eh

bored is a relative term – when I’ve been here straight through the last 3 weeks, I had to take a break. Anyway, I had a thought and had to go with it. It took me longer to find the pictures than to edit them!

I second that comment

It would’ve been awesome, if it wasn’t directed at my favourite team that can’t seem to buy a game.
That red&white jersey the dreaded Wings sport is starting to look all the more tempting.
Oh, Bertuzzi and Phanouf? I always loved them. GO FLAMES.

Nah, still too early

I’ll third the fucking awesome comment.

Oh man, this was great. And 100% factually accurate. It’s impossible to argue otherwise.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

Ha ha ha! Best analysis ever.

Seriously, this is the best Avalanche article in years, and I whole-heartily agree!

Very nice analysis

with photographic evidence, even!

In seriousness, I really haven’t seen many uniprons at the Can. In fact, among the few I have seen are on some dolts wearing them tucked in to dress pants. Obviously not hockey fans. My guestimation is that 99% of the real fans with jerseys will hang on to their old ones until someone wises up and introduces a third jersey far, far, far away in design from the ugly uniprons. Wtf were the Avs thinking? It’s gotta be hurting them at the souvenir shops.

Next Avs jersey

If They continue to use these monstrosities, I’ll go to E-bay for a nice 2004 Sakic All-star

Meanwhile

The old CCMs are selling out like hotcakes. You can still find them but sizes and quantities are limited especially for the home (white) jerseys. Yes. I still think of the white jerseys as home because that’s how it should be.

Red Wings Suck

Sadly

my next jersey will be an XXL RBK Practice jersey to fit over my pads, my two L jerseys barely fit so i have to buy the evil RBK jersey, thankfully it’s not a unipron though.

I might still buy a practice jersey, I’d prefer the black over the red.

Hey can the Avs switch the practice jersey and the game jersey? It would be a BIG improvement.

Now and then we had the hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be PIRATES.

What's

the practice one look like?

by Drakenlot on Nov 12, 2008 7:30 PM MST up reply actions   0 recs

Looks like every other teams practice one, plus the black is the one i would get, teh red looks all wrong. It’s way too light.
