Colorado Eagles show the Avalanche some love with their new third jerseys



The Colorado Eagles originally applied to be the Vegas Golden Knights’ AHL affiliate after the franchise was named, but the Golden Knights opted to go with the Chicago Wolves instead. However, they ended up becoming the Colorado Avalanche’s AHL affiliate instead and are now heading into their second AHL season.

As a way to show the Avalanche some appreciation for taking them on as their AHL affiliate, the Eagles decided to dedicate this year’s third jersey to the Avalanche and they look pretty awesome.

The Eagles’ primary colours are navy blue, red, gold and white, so this is a bit of a different look for them – but we think fans are going to love these jerseys even more than their usual threads.



The team has already planned the 10 nights they’re going to wear the third jerseys, with the first one coming on November 16th.
