Avalanche unveils Colorado flag-inspired jersey as NHL reveals new reverse retro uniforms

Denver professional sports franchises are asking Coloradans the important questions: What’s better (or worse) to incorporate into a jersey, a flag or a license plate?

The Colorado Avalanche unveiled its new reverse retro uniform from adidas Thursday, a look inspired by the state flag. The prominent logo on the front of the sweater is the red “C” with a yellow sphere representing the sun inside of it.

The jersey is white, featuring navy on the sleeves, with red and gold stripes.

The Avalanche’s most recent reverse retro uniform was a tribute to the Quebec Nordiques, where the team was based before relocating to Denver after the 1994-95 season.
