Two quick visual aids to illustrate my points with the Canadiens. A team that is historically regarded as one of the best looking teams in sports.
1. This is your new look Habs, complete with black pants!! It looks awful and makes no sense since the Habs are blue, red and white. No black in their color pallet. Same as the Avs....
2. The Habs currently have mismatched blues. Both the CCMs and Bauer pants are different colors. In addition, both are different from the gloves. Its fine for them yet a huge deal for the Avs...
Both of these go to show that the Avs look good, fine, whatever. They don't look like HOT GARBAGE or THE WORST TEAM EVER.....
It is purely a matter of time. People need to give it a few weeks/months and then look back.
