Most of you know this jersey that you see above. You will likely have seen a powder blue version floating around masquerading as the Colorado Avalanche third jersey. However, since that jersey is still in use, there isn't a chance that I can induct it right now. That doesn't mean the original version can't be talked about today, though. This version was worn from the 2001-2002 season up to the 2006-2007 season, and like many of the third jerseys prior to 2008, was retired once the RBK Edge jerseys were introduced.
As you can tell, the Avalanche third jersey didn't exactly use up all of the imagination afforded to it, as the word "COLORADO" is in a diagonal patter on a burgundy background and the striping isn't all that inspiring, either. The team's primary logo is on the shoulders of the jersey, and...well, that's about it, really. Ugly? No, but a really uninspired effort, one that is repeated today (for some reason).
