"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's no secret that both the Anaheim Ducks and Colorado Avalanche are planning to debut new alternate jerseys for the 2015-16 season, but the direction each team is pursuing has remained a mystery.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Until now.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The folks over at Icethetics say they have secured an exclusive first look at the new threads.&amp;nbsp; And they are, well, kind of a mixed bag.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If these prove to be the real deal\u2014and it\u2019s all speculation until they are officially revealed\u2014then Anaheim kinda let us down after&amp;nbsp;the big tease. Sure, the new third features the team\u2019s classic Mighty Ducks logo, which is awesome, but it\u2019s on an orange base that recalls last season\u2019s Stadium Series design. No way around it\u2014that\u2019s not going to be easy on the eyes. In fact, it may be the worst base color choice since the putrid yellow that was used by the Sabres two years ago. But hey, at least the Ducks are&amp;nbsp;going all in on their playoff \u201CPaint It Orange\u201D theme, right?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Colorado\u2019s reputed thirds have issues as well, but they\u2019re a massive upgrade over the team\u2019s recent wordmark alternates. The logo pays homage to the state flag, which is a nice touch, and the base is both darker than the Avs\u2019&amp;nbsp;traditional steel blue and distinct from any other team\u2019s shade. The white shoulders are a bit awkward, both in shape and color, but all in all it\u2019s a decent enough look.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Ranking every Winter Classic jersey&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shortly after this story broke, Chris Creamer at Sportslogos.net revealed what he claims are the Stadium Series jerseys set to be worn by Detroit and Colorado when they clash at Coors Field on Feb. 27, 2016.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They\u2019re something, alright.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not sure what\u2019s up with those sashes, or why someone thought both sweaters should have them, but that state flag logo really pops on the white Avs jersey. And that winged D? It\u2019s sure to offend some purists, but it\u2019s nice to see a team that\u2019s had basically the same logo for 70 years mix it up for a special occasion.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hard to fully assess them without knowing what the piping, shoulders and numbering will look like, but there\u2019s a chance for these to be halfway cool.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, what do you think?\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GALLERY: 20 Worst NHL Jerseys of All Time&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
