ESPN: Avs have the ugliest uniforms

ESPN: Avs have the ugliest uniformsESPN ranked uniform of all teams from NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL leagues. Results? Not good for the Avalanche fans.

ESPN´s journalists or whoever ranked all 122 teams from four major US sports leagues. Colorado Avalanche finished on the 118th place, the last place of the entire NHL! To be honest I was absolutely shocked. Not only I and not only Avalanche fans think the Avs have very nice jerseys. I could not even remember now on some negative reactions.

But now, some sports television which could not afford to air NHL games is trying to tell us that our beloved team has one of the ugliest sports uniform? No way. I personally think that this ranking was made by so-called old school journalists who have never watch NHL game and are obsessed by so “interesting” sport like is baseball. Sorry, MLB fans.

If you still would like to read their comment on the Avs uniforms, here it is: “Once upon a time, this was a passable-looking team. Not great, but passable. Now, though, it's a jumble of ill-fitting elements -- the apron-string jersey stripes, the pointless side panels, the laughable number font, the alternate jersey that's just a Rangers rip-off. If a team could get a game misconduct for its uniform, the Avs would certainly deserve one.”

Below the Colorado Avalanche ended Minnesota Vikings of the NFL, Brooklyn Nets of the NBA, Cincinnaty Bengals of the NFL and on the last place Sacramento Kings of the NBA. Montreal Canadines finished on the first place of the entire ranking. Habs and Boston Bruins are alone NHL teams in the top 10.
