Avs 3rd Leaked (Again... Sort of)
More evidence of what the new Colorado third jersey will look like. Maybe.

I really find it odd that a store would have them (in child’s sizes no less) so much earlier than the release date. However, if those are them, that blue is pretty cool. Def a nod to the Nordiques if you ask me…or it could just be the lighting. lol.

This team will make the playoffs and upset the Sharks in the first round...it's our turn.

At the Pepsi center last night they mentioned on the Jumbotron that his nickname is “The Colonel”, but I’ve been calling him Jewels:

While I still think they could tweak a few things and make a much better jersey/sweater. I like it heads and tails over the existing UNIPRONS. I might have to buy it just to get either a Duchene, O’Reilly, or Quincey….hmmm might even think about a Wilson.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
The Avs may (or may not) suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.

the kids jerseys always look lame next to the regs. i’m waiting to see the real thing before i decide fo sho. but i really want one of the rookies this year and i refuse to buy another unipron. a white one was harsh enough to take; there’s no way i’m going home jersey on that one.

Really? “Gay”? Are we still using homophobic retorts like its 1990? That’s a shame; I like to think the average user at MHH is more intelligent than that.

I’d still like to think “Lame” has the exact same impact without being offensive.

I agree. There are a large number of words that can express the desired negative connotation without resorting to gay bashing. I know most of it around here is tongue-in-cheek and meant with no hateful purpose at all, but it still grates on my eyes when I read stuff like that.

What about the people that have leg or foot disabilities? Aren’t you offending them?

If you want to play that game, we can.
Lame
–adjective
1. crippled or physically disabled, esp. in the foot or leg so as to limp or walk with difficulty.
2. impaired or disabled through defect or injury: a lame arm.
3. weak; inadequate; unsatisfactory; clumsy: a lame excuse.
4. Slang. out of touch with modern fads or trends; unsophisticated.
See definitions 3 and 4. A hockey jersey can, most definitely, be unsatisfactory. It can also be unsophisticated.
However, a hockey jersey CANNOT be homosexual. A hockey jersey cannot have sex with hockey jerseys of the same sex.
So let’s not pretend “Lame” carries the same negative connotation that “Gay” does.

Get ready for the hammer.
–adjective

3. given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season.
4. licentious; dissipated; wanton: The baron is a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies.
5. homosexual.
6. of, indicating, or supporting homosexual interests or issues: a gay organization.
–noun
7. a homosexual person, esp. a male.
–adverb
8. in a gay manner.

Considering it’s the end of October, I’ll assume you’re just pretending to be an idiot for Halloween. Until now, you’ve done little to suggest that you’re anything other than a very smart, witty individual.
You know as well as I do that nobody is using the term “Gay” to mean “bright or showy.”
I don’t normally bring down the Hammer because people disagree with me. That’s not a big deal and I’d be kind of disappointed if nobody ever did. But this isn’t one of those times where somebody takes issue with my opinion. This is one of those times when somebody is being a cantankerous smart-ass just to do it.
Let me make myself clear: this conversation is over. If the use of “gay” gets out of hand or the discussion about it (like the one above) gets out of hand, I will curtail it. The last thing I want to see is this community soured by homophobic nonsense OR bogged down with unnecessary debates about what is appropriate and what is not. We all know better. Act like adults.

My point about the “lame” thing was to show how far you can take the “offended” thing. I think the whole thing is kind of silly, but that’s just me.
I’m taking my ball and going home…

The gay community has clearly said they are offended when someone uses “gay” as a pejorative, understandably so. I would be offended if people used “German” or white to describe stuff negatively.
It’s not my right to tell people what should and shouldn’t offend them. I agree that people take things way too far, however I don’t think it’s all that unreasonable for gay people to be offended when people use the word “gay” as a substitute for awful. Furthermore I think using it that way, even though I know it is offensive, it just being antagonistic for the sake of being antagonistic. There are plenty of non-offensive alternatives out there.
The exception to this is “Idiot” which I will continue to use despite the fact that it’s offensive to Red Wing fans.
I’ve never heard of disabled people being offended by “lame”, and been around a large number of disabled people as my mom works in a paraplegic hospital and I have visited there often. If disabled people decided it’s offensive I’ll start using a new word.

I hear ya… I’m not trying to propagate the use of the word in a bad way at all. I just like being the devil’s advocate in a good controversial subject.

Not to further this debate but to clarify something, definition #2 is neither positive nor negative. It is a description. The way the tem is used in the original post is clearly negative given that the phrase “no thanks” accompanies the word “gay”. Ergo, you cannot use “bright or showy” as a substitue in that statement. Definition #2 fails.

Maybe I’ll think of investing in an Anderson one but the diagonal Colorado looks too small. It seems to take up half the front leaving alot of empty space. have to wait till the official unveiling, or someone cracks the NHL 10 code.

can anyone, anyone at all, tell me when the thirds were officially reintroduced if any team has produced one that looks semi decent? chicago, buffalo, maybe with the old-time looks. but anyone else?
hey, here’s a thought- as the avs third this season, how about an edge-ified version of the darks worn from 95-07? really, that shade of blue isn’t any major part of the scheme and it doesn’t really fit. if that design were going to be applied, i say use the old thirds (which i thought were the best in the league, and not because i was a fan of the team) and have the teal across the shoulders.

This one is definitely a knock-off, but for the record, I like the idea of the real ones. When compared to the uniprons, this third looks pretty decent, imo. I wouldn’t mind having one (hint Mike).

I still think it’s hideous. But in the spirit of supporting my team (and having every “style” of jersey since the Avs came to Denver)…I will probably get one………………..eventually

Well
Sometimes kids jerseys don’t look quite the same as the adult version, for whatever reason. I’m kinda holding out hope for a little darker blue, and it’s just a poor photo.
