The Colorado Eagles are taking a page out of the Avs’ playbook with their new third jersey designs.

The Avalanche’s American Hockey League affiliate on Monday unveiled its uniform, which takes on the predominately burgundy color scheme of the Avs’ home jerseys. Emblazoned on the chest is a silver, blue and white version of the Eagles’ logo. On the left shoulder, there’s a Colorado state flag and the Avs logo on the right.

The Eagles will wear this jersey in 10 homes games, starting with the No. 16 meeting with the Bakersfield Condors.

Here’s the schedule:

  • Nov. 16 vs. Bakersfield Condors
  • Dec. 17 vs. Manitoba Moose
  • Dec. 18 vs. Manitoba Moose
  • Jan. 10 vs. Tucson Roadrunners
  • Feb. 11 vs. Tucson Roadrunners
