Avalanche 2016 NHL Stadium Series sweater idea: Rockies hockey/Avs combo look

Keep ’em coming. Avalanche fan Mark Lilley received substantial feedback on Twitter on his third-jersey idea — something the team might consider when building a special sweater for the Feb. 27, 2016 NHL Stadium Series game against the Detroit Red Wings at Coors Field.

I’m a big fan of Mark’s logo — it still looks like an “A” but embodies the NHL history in Colorado, with the old Rockies. It’s like Winnipeg — the Jets lose their team but get another and stay true to their roots. The baseball team nabbed the “Rockies,” which is probably why the NHL team is the Avalanche, and not the Rockies, but Mark’s logo takes us back to the original Rockies.
