Third jerseys are back!
During the team’s media day on Thursday, the Colorado Avalanche revealed what had been rumored for some time: the return of the Colorado state flag-inspired alternate jerseys.
These sweaters, dark blue with the iconic Colorado “C” on a triangle with a silhouette of a mountain within, were worn from time to time during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, when Reebok was the NHL’s official jersey provider.
When the NHL switched to Adidas prior to the 2017-18 season, the league announced that there would be no third jerseys for any team for the first season under the new manufacturer.
