I brought up the Nordiques the other day with one of my posts. The team that came out of that club's demise was the Colorado Avalanche. Since their inception, the Avalanche have won 2 Stanley Cup championships (their first one coming in the team's first season in the NHL!), 8 divisional titles and has an alumni class featuring great hockey players like Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, Adam Foote, Raymond Bourque and Patrick Roy. The team has kept their jersey style simple; in fact they have never altered their home or away jersey (although they have created two alternate jerseys). They are the only team that could rock a spectrum of colors like burgundy, steel blue and silver. The team's logo is fantastic; it uses an avalanche of snow forming a C around the stationary A. If you look close, the edge of the "C" there is a puck shooting out of the snow. The jagged pattern featured towards the bottoms and sleeves give it a nice visual aesthetic too, almost like it forms mountains. And how could I forget the team's secondary logo of a Sasquatch foot? Classic.
My final thoughts: One of my personal favorite jerseys without a doubt. I was a big fan of their team during the 90s and early 2000s because of the amount of talent they had plus the jerseys are awesome. Great logo, great color scheme, great jersey for a great team. Another must have for hockey fans.
