[...] say that you would look good in one. At least, one of the old ones. I don’t recommend the new RBK EDGE ones, if only for the over use of capital letters, although there are other reasons. The colors look [...]

John – I assume you have just stumbled upon my blog, so I will say, welcome. I have tried them on, first a Columbus Blue Jackets model, and recently an Avalanche. And if you search this blog, you will see that I put pictures up if me trying on and modeling the CBJ jersey, which was a bit of a scoop. I put up pictures of the real jersey before any one else, and gave my review. I am also assuming that you will not be back this way, so my reply will fall on deaf ears (screens?). If you do come back, know that I have made an informed opinion about the jerseys, and I give them a thumbs down.

Also, just for the record. I love the colors of the Avalanche. The colors of this blog are modeled on them, and I have several Avs jerseys, which I treasure. But thanks for your opinion, it’s appreciated.

maybe if you all cared to try them on you would have a different opinion. coming from a real hockey player that owns one, they are great, light weight and breatheable. but if it is the looks you are concerned about, lets face it, the avalanche has always had ugly colors and guess what, they aren’t leaving soon.

I’ve been trying to figure out for the life of me why people though the piping would be a good idea. Given the little fashion knowledge I have here’s my theory: the jerseys are tighter, therefore they make the players look more broad on top and their shoulders wider. The shape of the piping is slanted upwards towards the neck, which breaks up the line of the shoulders, therefore making it seem smaller. So really, it’s practical and balances out!

Yeah, okay I got nothing.

I do not like the piping or the sleeves. I’m not buying one, that’s for sure.

Well, with all that two tone space on the sleeves they can put Burrito ads on there!!!

I do like that the stripes on the bottom are gone. It looks less complicated

“but I was under the impression that this jersey was going to be tucked in”

RBK rescinded their stance on tucking after some player feedback during development.
