Mountain stripes! No more piping!
Avalanche fans have been complaining for the better part of a decade about the infamous “unipron” CCM jersey, and now it appears your pleas have been heard by the NHL’s new jersey manufacturer, Adidas. Though we’ve yet to see a full official reveal, the photo below has leaked, showing primary home uniforms for all 31 teams. (Including the expansion Vegas Golden Knights.)
It’s not much, but already we can see a handful of detested features of the previous design have been removed and a handful of beloved features have returned. I’m not sure there’s much to glean from the color, but it does appear to retain the more recent burgundy while perhaps opting for a lighter blue.
