I like the logo and the colors

With as iconic an our state flag is, I am really surprised the Jersey is not yellow/gold and red.

That’s a really good point. I live in Colorado currently and my first thought was that those are close to the Avs colors. I didn’t poke around the website too much but maybe you know, are they an Avs affiliate?

Anchored by a bold color palette of desert red, sand, and Rio Grande blue, the Goatheads look is designed to stand out on the ice and across merchandise.

I am unsure what "Rio Grande blue" is, but it sure as shit is not a color I have ever seen in the Rio Grande unless a bepsi can is floating past.

I see nothing about the Avalanche mentioned.
