Wow, that does sound like an arena football or roller hockey team name. The Avalanche is still a horrible name though. Too bad the baseball team stole Rockies but they could have at least added an S onto their name to be the Avalanches. Also, why do most people shorten the name to Avs? I usually call them the Lanche.
I do like their logo and they have great colours but I have never liked their jerseys. The big issues are the vertical stripes and and too many colours going on with the black and silver. They did get it better with the blue third jersey but screwed up by not putting the logo on it.
Finally, that Quebec jersey that was never used looks okay but is not as nice as the classic. It is kind of funny the Nordiques were going to change from blue & red to blue & light blue since that is exactly what Winnipeg did when they got a team back.
