Avalanche Unveil Near-Authentic Nordiques Throwback for Seven Games in 2025–26

The 30th‑anniversary tribute revives Quebec’s classic blue‑red‑white look rooted in the franchise’s pre‑relocation identity.

Overview

  • Colorado will debut the Nordiques uniforms on Oct. 23 against Carolina, with a second showcase on Jan. 3 in Raleigh.
  • The Hurricanes will wear Hartford Whalers throwbacks in both meetings to mirror the vintage rivalry branding.
  • Additional wear dates are Nov. 29 vs. Montreal, Jan. 12 vs. Toronto, March 16 vs. Pittsburgh, April 1 vs. Vancouver, and April 11 vs. Vegas.
  • The design closely matches the original Nordiques sweater with a baby‑blue base, white numbers, fleur‑de‑lis on the shoulders, and the red igloo “N.”
  • Fans can purchase the jersey online starting at 12 p.m. ET on the day of the announcement, continuing the team’s retro trend after a 2021 Reverse Retro edition.
