The home and road jerseys I did for the Avalanche were fairly modern, so I wanted to do a more traditional third jersey. It is loosely inspired by the Nordiques jerseys, with simple striping, and blue (both navy and light blue) as the only colour used anywhere besides the team's primary logo. I used the "Colorado" script on the front of the jersey because I thought it worked better with the more traditional design. The gloves and pants are the same as what is used with the primary jerseys, but there is a new helmet.

Thanks for visiting.
It really needs some maroon in it for me to like it. Maybe in between the light blue and white stripes. Without maroon it doesn't look like a Avs concept, especially with maroon being the color of the home jersey.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, I appreciate the feedback. I do get what you're saying about the lack of the burgundy colour, the Avalanche have always worn burgundy so it doesn't look like something we would expect the Avalanche to wear. I did want to try something different for an alternate though, both as a nod to the Nordiques and because I think these colours look colder (to fit in with the snow theme). Also it wouldn't be new in the NHL for an alternate jersey to be lacking the main colour of the team's home jersey, the Wild's current third jersey basically only has red in the logo.
