Avalanche 3rd Jerseys Unveiled

Today, the Avalanche are unveiling their 3rd jerseys. I'm sure better photos will be out soon, but for now we have the jersey on a splash page. [UPDATE - hot model shots now up.] I don't really have time to offer too much on them right now. I figured going in they couldn't be any worse than the Avs existing unipron monstrosities (hint: not a fan). My one sentence verdict? Could have been worse. I don't love it...but at least I don't hate this. I refuse to buy a unipron, but I'll probably pick up one of these at some point...

It’s past 2:30 Mountain time.
And It’s hard to really compare colors on computer screens. I’m saving judgement until I see them Saturday in person.
The New Improved Avalanche. Now with Real Coaches!

Like I said in the other thread: Looks like a Rangers jersey rip-off. Not original at all! And what is it with the strange shiny fabric?

Looks better than the photoshop image. Need to see them in hockey action.

I'm decidedly meh on them.
But like you said, it’s better than the unipron. I think this is what I’m going to get, now which rookie? Duchene, O’Reilly or Galiardi?

I like the design, but a guy at Fanzz in Ft. Collins showed me one about 3 weeks ago. It was a kids jersey, so it was probably not quite right, but I don’t recall there being anything on the bottom. I’ve been waiting to see the real thing.

I definitely like them better than the “unipron”. Seeing them now, I wonder how it would have looked with Burgundy letters on the front instead of white? I like that it has the laces again, and like many think that some sort of stripping at the bottom would have helped.
Can they replace the home Unipron with this jersey, and then develop another 3rd jersey?

If you'd swap the red and the blue...
…they’d be a closer approximation to the Avs old jerseys with the Reebok template than the current Unipron.

At least as far as the chest and shoulders go. I guess that you’d have to throw the Avs logo in there instead of the diagonal Colorado lettering and put some striping on the bottom to give it a true look of their regular jersies.

I really hate how RBK limited teams on how they can stripe.
Can’t do the mountain range stripe? Well up yours then!
They shoudve never agreed to it unless RBK could make all jerseys as they were.

etc, have that same “unipron” piping.
No wonder O’Reilly is fitting in so well, he can’t tell the difference in the uniform he’s wearing.

I guess I stand corrected
I thought I remembered hearing the reason they dropped the bottom stripe was because the way they create the jerseys or some shit doesn’t let them do fancy striping.

My view:
Better than the uniprons, worse than the old third jerseys. The color scheme is tolerable. Would look better if the arm stripes were around the waist instead.

I would have preferred all blue or something. But my favorite jersey ever is the 2003 3rds jersey. I like the stealing of the diagonal lettering. The tribute to Quebec isn’t a bad choice. I was hoping for something like toronto’s but it’s good. Now to buy this or a stastny/Anderson team usa jersey. Hmm.

I like them because of the … hockey socks. I think the socks mathing the sleeves with the black breezers give the entire thing a classic look. It may not be the greatest stand alone jersey but the whole thing will look great on the ice.
It’s about time I’ve paid proper homage to the Duke… a possible future retired Avalanche. I think that falls in to some kind of JIbble tier.

After seeing them on the players
I like them a whole lot more. The initial pic on the Avs website made the color look too “Rangers”-blue. But seeing it on our actual players, I like the rich blue, and the burgundy on the shoulders is a great contrast. Plus, the black trim on the name, numbers, and Colorado pop much better than they did on the old burgundy 3rd. If they have a special sale, I’m all over it.

maybe a “safe bet” isn’t really an issue when you think about how surprising this team has been. since this is the debut year of the new third, getting one to honor the debut of a new kid could work for all of eternity. hence, i’m back to duchene or o’reilly. who would’ve thought this would be such a hard decision.

holy effing christ
We sure did like paying Sakic when we had the cash… I was looking up a few things and NHL payrolls and salaries are a bit tough to track down. It wasrted with someone claiming the Avs and Wings bought their campionships in the 90s.
After the Rangers offered his a $15 million bonus and a 2/year salary, we ended up giving Super Joe $16.45 a year!!
In the first year of the salary cap, that would be over 40% of the team maximum!! Sakic and Forsberg also each had (about) $10,000,000 seasons after that as well…
Damn salary cap…

00/01 Rangers (56.9)

04/05 Gary Bettman
05/06 Devils (44.9)
06/07 Devils (49.6)
07/08 Avalanche (61.3)
I guess the moral here is that WE didn’t buy our championships…
In 2000-2001 we spent 51.7, about a fifth going to Peter Forsberg. I guess drafting and trading for is the same as buying to people on teh interwebs.

I think that a lot of that was a signing bonus, which was allowed under that CBA. If you look at the end of that particular contract, I think that he was making about $2 million one year. Still, it averaged out to be a pretty hefty salary.

Fail
Complete and total ass. They had the best 3rd jerseys in the league a few years ago, inexplicably got rid of them (unless it was an RBK-mandated thing), and now they sort of go back to that style except for the distracting design across the shoulders and the not-quite Nordiques blue.

I do like them as the players wear them… the striping on the socks matches and sleeves and ties it all together pretty well.
I certainly didn’t like the leaked image with the black striping without seeing the whole shells and sweaters together. But I think I may buy one, in honor of our young team!
