Around SBN: This Should Encourage Juan Mata

Hi, Adrian! I see many teams in the NHL taking out their third jerseys. And maybe I missed something, but I do not think I've seen the third Avalanche jersey this year. Do the Avs have any? I think the Nordiques' light blue jerseys would

Milan - The Avs will not wear a third jersey this season. There are a lot of logistical issues with teams wearing them, more than you might think. So, that's partly why they aren't wearing them this year. It creates more logistics for the visiting team.

The Avs say they will wear them again next season. And, yes, I agree it would be nice to incorporate some kind of Quebec connection on them -- although I wouldn't go so far as to wear their pure light blue old colors

What logistical problems are there for the visiting team. They’ll still wear their road whites even if we play our unipron a third or a practice jersey, which incidentally looks better than our uniprons. How badly can we ruin the look of our old thirds.

Didn’t we end up wearing our white jerseys at home against Chicago(?) because they were wearing their third? I remember it was a home game because I didn’t notice the white jerseys as being out of the ordinary because that’s how it’s supposed to be.

Yeah we did, I have no idea why but that seems the exception to third jerseys. Most are worn at home and therefore the away team would bring their whites anyway.

Hmm…. if we’re gonna have third jerseys again, maybe there’s still a chance I’d buy another jersey.

Depends on whether they make the third jersey just another version of the hideous Unipron or not.

You would think they’d just make minor changes to the old third without doing anything drastic, although they said the same thing about the unipron.

I personally never liked the Avs third jersey to begin with. As long as they don’t come out with another black monstrosity like other teams, it hopefully can’t be any worse.

It looked nice but with our logo and mountain design I couldn’t really see anything over than the diagonal look working. the bigfoot would be a shocking primary logo and we don’t really even have another colour we could use besides reversing the maroon and blue.

They aren’t wearing it right now because it’s their lucky jersey – you know, the one that inspires them to play a full 60 minute game, score goals, support their #1 goalie, all those mundane things. They are saving it for the playoffs.

This is going to become a recurring theme any time anybody mentions the playoffs isn’t it?

You better believe it.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

Can you do a search and replace on all of this season’s MHH posts to replace the word “playoffs” with Mora’s pic? That would be cool.

HA-HA-HA. Like Adrian’s silly puppets you are putty in my hands. I knew I would set everyone off if I said anything about the playoffs! LOL

At least the tin man shouldn’t be knocked off the puck as easily and he does get a heart eventually (kind of). I’m not sure Arnason will ever make it to Oz.
