It has been a very successful 30 years for the Colorado Avalanche amassing three Stanley Cups, and as the franchise gears up for it's 30th anniversary season, they have revealed yet another new logo.
The logo was released on a baseball cap by the New Era company.
Colorado Avalanche introduce new logo ahead of 30th season.
Jake Shapiro of Denver Sports broke the news that the Avalanche are expecting a new logo to celebrate their 30th anniversary as a franchise.
"It's a combination of the streaming puck from the team's main logo that wraps around the A, but instead, it's inside the team's C logo that they wear on the shoulders and represents the Colorado state flag. That secondary logo is a replacement for the team's first alternate logo, which was a footprint of the team's now extinct mascot, Howler. In going with the C, the Avalanche threw it back a bit to the NHL's Rockies and paid homage to the state." -Shapiro
It is unlikely it will actually makes it way on an Avalanche jersey, as it is just part of New Era "Deceptor" line. But the new design is interesting and may spark the franchise's creative team to come up with something retro to celebrate the three decade mark.
While we may not see another new logo unveiled, Avalanche fans could optimistically expect a new alternate jersey.
"But there does seem to be a hint of a new Avalanche jersey coming soon, possibly this year. Icethetics reported earlier this summer that, «Colorado may be cooking up a jersey bombshell for fans of the classics.» He shares that it could be a throwback, but since the team's current active jerseys are already inspired by their original look, could Nordiques jerseys be coming? The team did that for the Winter Classic a few years ag,o then again on the reverse retro." -Shapiro
We, at the very least, do have one new logo to mark the 30th anniversary season but the New Era one will definitely get people talking and could inspire the Avalanche to incorporate it somehow throughout the upcoming season.
