Editing Colorado Avalanche (section)

===Jerseys===
The team colors are burgundy, steel blue, black, silver, and white. For the 2007–08 season, the NHL introduced the new-look "[[NHL uniform|Reebok EDGE]]" jerseys. The Avalanche debuted their new version of the [[Reebok]] EDGE jerseys on September 12, 2007, at an Avalanche press conference. The design is similar to the previous jerseys, with some added piping.<ref>{{cite web |title=Avalanche Blows It With Lousy Jersey Design |url=https://www.milehighhockey.com/2007/9/12/18751/7133 |website=Mile High Hockey |date=September 12, 2007 |access-date=November 15, 2018}}</ref>

The road jersey from 1995 to 2003 was predominantly burgundy and steel blue in color. Along the jersey, there are two black and white [[zigzag]] lines, one on the shoulders, and the other near the belly. Between them, the jersey is burgundy; outside those lines it is steel blue. Similar lines exist around the neck. The Avalanche logo is in the center of the jersey. On top of the shoulders, there is an alternate logo, one on each side. The away jersey is similar but with different colors. The burgundy part on the home jersey is white on the away jersey, the steel blue part is burgundy, and the black and white lines became gray and steel blue. In 2003, the NHL switched home and road jerseys, with colors being worn at home and white jerseys on the road.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statenews.com/article.phtml?pk=15112 |title=NHL 'quacked' up with hockey jersey switch |first=Kristofer |last=Karol |publisher=[[State News]] |date=January 27, 2003 |access-date=August 30, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011235927/http://statenews.com/index.php/article/2003/01/nhl_039quacked039_up |archive-date=October 11, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Balint |first=Jim |title=Have Dark Home Jerseys Killed the Whiteout? |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/400925-have-dark-home-jerseys-killed-the-whiteout |access-date=June 29, 2022 |website=Bleacher Report}}</ref>

The Avalanche introduced a third jersey during the 2001–02 season.<ref>{{Cite news|title =OILERS 4, AVALANCHE 1 "Third jersey' to make debut on Halloween|url =http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=DP&p_theme=dp&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EF431E783FCBE23&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM|author =Dater, Adrian|website =The Denver Post|date =October 19, 2001|access-date =March 26, 2007}}</ref> It is predominantly burgundy. "Colorado" is spelled in a diagonal across the jersey where the logo is on the other jerseys. From the belly down, three large horizontal stripes, the first and the last being black and the middle one being white. In the middle of the arms, there are five stripes, black, white, and burgundy from the outside inside on both sides. On the shoulders is the primary "A" logo. The third jersey was not worn by the Avalanche for the 2007–08 or the 2008–09 seasons after the NHL switched to the Reebok EDGE jerseys.

In the 2009–10 season, the Avalanche introduced a new [[third jersey]] that was worn for the first time during the November 14, 2009, home game against the Vancouver Canucks.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://avalanche.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=505569 |title=Rink Notes: Tucker Ready To Return |date=November 10, 2009 |work=Colorado Avalanche}}</ref> It is similar to the club's previous third jersey, but is primarily steel blue instead of burgundy and features burgundy patches on the shoulders with the "A" logo inside. It also does not have horizontal striping on the bottom. On the arms, there are five stripes, burgundy, white, and black from the outside inside on both sides. They are closer to the elbows than the stripes on the previous third jerseys.

Prior to the 2015–16 season, the Avalanche modified their existing uniform set by replacing the [[yeti]] foot shoulder logo in favor of the burgundy and black "C" logo. A new third jersey was also unveiled, featuring navy (instead of steel blue) as the dominant color, and a minimalized, recolored version of the [[Colorado Rockies (NHL)|Rockies]] logo in front.<ref>{{cite web |title=Pass or Fail: Colorado Avalanche new third jersey for 2015–16 |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/pass-or-fail--colorado-avalanche-new-third-jersey-for-2015-16-204804696.html |website=sports.yahoo.com |date=September 7, 2015 |access-date=December 24, 2018}}</ref>

The "C" logo also served as the main crest of the Avalanche's [[2016 NHL Stadium Series|2016 Stadium Series]] uniforms, which featured a white base, enlarged lettering and numbers, and steel blue, silver, and burgundy sleeve stripes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/news/avs-reveal-coors-light-nhl-stadium-series-sweater/c-779906 |title=Avs Reveal Coors Light NHL Stadium Series Sweater |date=September 22, 2015 |work=Colorado Avalanche}}</ref>

Before the 2017–18 season, the Avalanche unveiled new uniforms as part of the switch to [[Adidas]]. The look was inspired from the original uniforms they wore from 1995 to 2007, save for the bold silver border that pays homage to Colorado's silver mining industry. There were no third jerseys used during that season, but for the 2018–19 season, the Avalanche would wear their 2015–2017 navy uniforms as their alternates.<ref>{{cite web |title=New Avalanche uniforms revealed for 2017–18 season |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2017/06/21/colorado-avalanche-uniforms-2017-18-season/ |website=The Denver Post |access-date=December 24, 2018 |date=June 21, 2017}}</ref> The navy uniforms are currently used in regular season home games against Central Division opponents (though during the 2020–21 season, they only wore them against the [[Minnesota Wild]] and [[St. Louis Blues]] as both Central Division teams were briefly realigned with the Avalanche on the [[West Division (NHL)|West Division]], and made an exception in the 2021 and 2022 home openers by wearing burgundy uniforms against the [[Chicago Blackhawks]], as well as the November 21, 2022, home game against the [[Dallas Stars]] by wearing the "Reverse Retro" uniforms), which the Avalanche dub as "Division Rivalry Nights".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/team/third-jersey |title=Avalanche Third Jersey Schedule |work=Colorado Avalanche}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/news/avalanche-announces-2020-21-jersey-schedules/c-320723738 |title=Avalanche Announces Reverse Retro, Third Jersey Schedules (2020–21) |work=Colorado Avalanche|date=January 28, 2021}}</ref>

As part of the [[2020 NHL Stadium Series|2020 Stadium Series]], the Avalanche unveiled special edition uniforms inspired by Colorado's majestic landscape and the [[United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel|Cadet Chapel]] of the [[United States Air Force Academy]]. The uniforms bore a steel blue top and burgundy bottom, with white accents forming the shape of an "A" in front and the middle stripe at the back.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/colorado-nhl-stadium-series-jersey-revealed/c-313986954 |title=Avalanche jersey for NHL Stadium Series inspired by Colorado terrain |date=January 16, 2020 |work=National Hockey League}}</ref>

Before the 2020–21 season, the Avalanche unveiled a "Reverse Retro" alternate uniform. The design was taken from the classic Quebec Nordiques uniforms but recolored to match the Avalanche's current color scheme.<ref>{{cite news|title=Reverse Retro alternate jerseys for all 31 teams unveiled by NHL, adidas|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-reveals-adidas-reverse-retro-jerseys/c-319633384|website=NHL.com|date=December 1, 2020|access-date=February 28, 2021}}</ref> The Avalanche also revealed a new color scheme for their pants and helmets, with black replaced by steel blue.<ref>{{cite news|title=Colorado Avalanche to Celebrate 25th Anniversary Season in 2020–21|url=https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/news/avalanche-to-celebrate-25th-anniversary-season-in-202021/c-319653422|publisher=NHL Enterprises, L.P.|website=ColoradoAvalanche.com|date=November 17, 2020|access-date=February 28, 2021}}</ref> The following season, the road white uniforms were tweaked to feature burgundy player names and steel blue numbers with burgundy trim, thus eliminating black from the color scheme.

A second "Reverse Retro" uniform (branded as Reverse Retro 2.0) was unveiled in the 2022–23 season, utilizing the 1995–2007 white uniform template but recolored to the blue, red and gold colors originally used by the NHL's Rockies and is found on the [[flag of Colorado|Colorado state flag]]. The "C" alternate logo replaced the primary in front.<ref>{{cite news|title=NHL Reverse Retro jerseys for all 32 teams unveiled by adidas|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/2022-adidas-nhl-reverse-retro-jerseys-reveal/c-336511528|website=NHL.com|date=October 20, 2022|access-date=October 20, 2022}}</ref>
