Avalanche reveal throwback jerseys with Nordiques logo | NHL.com

The Colorado Avalanche are giving fans a blast from the past this season.

On Tuesday, the team announced that it will be bringing back the Quebec Nordiques logo on their jerseys for seven games this season to honor the franchise’s time in Canada.

The Avalanche will wear the throwback jerseys for the first time on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes, who will be wearing their throwback Hartford Whalers sweaters for the game.

Fans will surely feel some nostalgia watching the matchup, as the two teams were both in the Adams Division from 1981-1995 and met twice in the postseason...

I liked the throwbacks the first season or two that they did them, kind of played out now, especially with the Arena in Quebec City being used by the NHL as nothing more as a bargaining chip for teams to use as a threat when teams want more taxpayer handouts/special treatment.

Love those old throwback jerseys. I remember how folks used to complain how ugly the Hartford jerseys were.

They did a great job with the presentation on this game.

It's amazing how this League can do cool things like this, and also completely botch a layup like it did last night with having all 32 teams playing yet constantly showing talking heads instead of actual games.
