DENVER – Colorado Avalanche defenseman Kyle Quincey and center Paul Stastny today unveiled the team’s new third jersey, which will debut this Saturday, Nov. 14, against the Vancouver Canucks at Pepsi Center (8:00 p.m.). The Avalanche will wear the third sweater on 12 occasions throughout the 2009-10 season.
The third jersey design is a collaboration of ideas from the Colorado Avalanche (including Kroenke Sports Enterprises Creative Imaging), the National Hockey League and Reebok. The third jersey has a predominately blue color scheme with a diagonal COLORADO type, laces at the neckline and stripes on the sleeves. Two rounds of sweater prototypes were tested and ran on ice before the final version was made.

I always hated the diagonal “Colorado” purple jerseys, but these look much, much nicer.

Simple, plain, uncomplicated - nice change from the extra busy horrid thirds that so many teams introduce.

How about a light blue and white jersey with a band of fleur-de-lis and a big N (igloo) as the crest?
