A Brief History: Colorado Avalanche Yeti Logo

The Colorado Avalanche are often considered the NHL team with the most odd and peculiar secondary logo in the game.  This logo (above) is of the foot of the mythical creature known as the Yeti.  As strange as this logo may be, it does make sense for a team based in Denver as Yeti's are often rumored to have been spotted in Colorado's cold snowy mountains.

As much sense as it may make, however, many people ask themselves the question, "why?"  Why did the team decide to use such a logo and affiliate themselves with a Yeti?  Well, actually, there is no official answer to that question as the franchise has never offered an explanation!

In our opinion, we feel the team did this simply to be different and create a unique yet appealing jersey concept.  Maroon is already an uncommon base color for a jersey, so it would make sense for the jersey to have an uncommon logo as well!
