So after reading this thread, it seems to me, most people are not exactly happy with the black to blue swap? Well, no surprise here, said from day 1, when it was just a rumor, its horrible idea.
The home ones are so-so passable, because, At least, the blue at the bottom of the sweater touches the blue of the pants. Still, it results in way too much blue in the overall design, something not characteristic for Avs, who are not a “blue” team - no fecking Nordiques, nor Rockies, nor Tampa or Leafs or Winnipeg.
Naturally, blue pants on home mean blue pants on away and thats unmitigated disaster. Even if there was option to swap pants to burgundy, you would lose almost all the blue on the set - so the balance would be broken the other way. And Avs are not coyotes either.
The black is just needed for this particular design and its not coincidence. It Balances the blue and burgundy on homes, and nicely complements burgundy and white on aways. You dont get to change and swap colors like you please, thats not how this works.
I see some people would like to conversion to Illuminati logo and jerseys, which i personally despise, its absolutely not the Avs design i fell in love with, so better hope not... for the rest of us, who are otherwise content with Avs classic, i just hope this failed experiment will be gone by the end of the season as well, things return to normal and will never be meddled be again, allowed to become classic, as long as the team exists. For us, not native to Denver, the visual stuff is literally the one thing that ties this team to the glorious past, as obviously, people change. Change this as well and we might as well find another team to cheer for, next time Avs suck again, because there would be nothing left aside of the name to connect to. Perhaps change that as well then, ive heard some EXTREMEly good alternatives
