Post #13 - Colorado Avalanche

Today I have a set for the Colorado Avalanche.

Home & Away: The first thing I really wanted to do for the Avalanche was remove pretty much all traces of black in their uniforms (save for the black puck in the primary logo). I decided to use burgundy as the "dark" color and hence, after giving blue pants and helmets a shot, opted to use it instead. As for the design of the base jerseys themselves, I wanted to both pay homage to their inaugural jerseys with the jagged shoulder/sleeve design but also play off of the flow and waviness of the "A" logo.

Alternate: I gave burgundy pants and helmets a go with this uniform but just didn't like it, personally, as much as I like the design you see. The uniform, heavy in blue, features a "classic" design with a "Colorado" script and accents of burgundy and grey without a trace of white.

Have a look and be sure to rate the set and leave some comments. Thanks.

I'm a huge Avs fan (live in CO) and love all three of these concepts! And that's rare for me to like an Avs concept. They're unique and work so well with the Avalanche and their color scheme. I also really like that you left white completely out of the alternate. Great work again!
