Bring back the foot...and Howler!

Hasn't enough time passed to put a new person in the suit? Bernie is adorable, but Howler was and still is cool. The foot alternate logo is also more unique than the 'C'. My two cents as an old school Avs fan. Thoughts?

  • I'd love to see the team go total redesign rather than dig up pieces of the past. When the Kraken unveiled their logo/uniforms I loved how they used the little bits of red accent as a "pop" contrast against the rest of the colors and I think it looks great on the ice. I was meh on this last year's Avs reverse retros design, but I LOVED how the yellow circle and bright red C of the main crest absolutely POPPED when they wore those kits on the ice. The burgundy and blue Avs colors just don't contrast each other enough, especially on TV, and the result is just kind of muddy blah.

    If I was in charge of the Avs kits, I would choose a cooler (icy?) blue as the primary color and utilize some sort of intensely contrasting accent color. If Howler and a Yeti foot can fit into the new scheme then have at it!

    • Thanks for the thoughtful response! The Nordique alternates from a couple seasons ago had some of that 'icy' blue and I wouldn't mind that with the burgundy for sure. I'm honestly fine with Howler not coming back and have made peace with the foot likely never appearing again on the main jersey. However, I long for the day where one season's alternate jersey features the foot front and center on the front. I'd proudly wear one of those on a regular basis if they ever make something like it.
