DO NOT WANT.

Of course, this is a Photoshop job and a lazy one at that, and until you see something in real life on a real person you can’t really make a judgment call, BUT, I think these look like crap.

The arm stripes are going to make the players look like World War II fighter planes (cool in their own right, but not appropriate for the Avalanche), the shoulder area is too small and I really don’t care much for the shade of blue.

But that’s just me.

If that’s it, very few people are going to buy it.

reminds me of a NYR jersey.

Really going to have to wait and see what it looks like in real life (if it’s really the new 3rd).

But, I try to buy a jersey a year, and really don’t like wearing white. So right now I have quite a few home ones. Wouldn’t mind switching it up with this. And FYI, I think it will be a Stewart this year for me.

I’ll have to wait to see the real one, but if this is it, I like it. It’s different, and it beats the hell out of the current home sweaters (I actually like the white unipron, but not the dark one).

This is going to be one of those we need to actually see on the players, in a game, in order to get a good feel for them. I’m cautiously optimistic, although if the stripe separating the burgundy from the blue curves the opposite way the player’s name does (assuming they keep the current name/number style), that’s going to look like poo.

Like I pointed out on the other site. No way the NHL allows the Avs to not include the Reebok logo on the back, not the NHL logo in the front. No way

And these are just plain ugly.

ive seen many far better blue based fan creations, imo.

I’m not completely opposed to it. But there is something I don’t like about it. It might be the stripping, the color, or both.
I, like Chi, prefer the old third jersey. Maybe I just relate the Avs more to the Burgundy color instead of the blue. Switch the colors and get rid of the stripe and you might have something.

I checked out the original postings on Creamer’s from DD’s link above and I prefer this one over the one above.

It ain’t got no alibi. it’s ugly

yeah
yeah

it’s Ugly

It’s really just more of the same mediocre jersey design we’ve seen from Reebok. Too bad too – was hoping for something very cool. Guess I just gotta keep my old third.

So now I know I’ll get it from Mike later.

I like these jersey designs.nice possible alternative

I don’t like it.

When the Nordiques first came to Denver, I know that the options for the name of the team was put out to the public for opinion polls. Did they do that with the jerseys as well? If so, why aren’t they asking their fan base what they think of the jersey designs? Seems cost effective to find out ahead of time that the jersey design sucks…thus giving them the opportunity to change it.

Though, this would be a common sense approach and the organization seems to be lacking in that area. (1)

I pity the fool who designed this jersey

My last thing on this. If this “Neon” dude is so right on, and has this supposed cell-phone picture, then why not release it? You have as much press as you can get at this point..why not just put it out there?

These people that designed these jerseys for the Avalanche are either Half-blind, Color Blind, have zero fashion sense, were to busy to really sit down and think about the design, or were way to lazy to think of the coordination of the design. Some NHL teams have new jerseys that are great designs that were well thought out, and some teams (like the Avalanche) have jerseys that were designed by retards that in the last minute had to throw them together before they turned in their concepts into the Reebok reps. The original design was the greatest. Now they changed all the designs so reebok has a new look contract in the NHL. Sure go with a lighter fabric for the players, but bring back the Avalanche Jerseys that Represented the Team better than these horrible “new improved designs”

They already molested the Avs jerseys already it only makes sense they would do it for the 3rd.

Good point. I guess I was just spoiled by the awesome-ness that was our normal jerseys at the time.

And I would have to say that the Oilers 3rd there is about on par with our burgundy 3rd. Simple, but still…. off somehow.

See the full story here.

Looks like those are indeed going to be the 3rds for this season.

I still not sure if I like it (after a few days of looking at it), but I still think it’s better than the damned Unipron.
