You cant be more wrong. The black provided background for the blue and burgundy to pop off and kept them at balance, now its gone and we look like poor mans barcelona. Additionally we are now "blue" team, because the blue is now too dominant. f*** that.
Vs a black and white team? Hence the transient LA Kings. We looked like a football team from a bad Hollywood movie in those jerseys.
It was a hideous combo. Worst in the league. Now I’m not some fan of the current combo. I’d try burgundy gloves and helmets to see how that looks with the white jersey. Make the white kit mostly white and burgundy, just touches of blue and silver.
And go with white helmet and gloves for the burgundy kit.
Just never the black again. There is no black in the Avs uniforms. None. Don’t use it.
