Colorado Avalanche goes green with new uniform materials

The case can easily be made that the Colorado Avalanche is one of the most environmentally-conscious organizations in all of pro sports. Since last season, there are no more plastic cups to be found inside Ball Arena – it’s all aluminum, which is easy to recycle. Now, even the Avs’ uniforms are going green:

All 32 teams will wear the Adidas-manufactured jerseys this season, so the Avs aren’t alone. But this is in keeping with the team’s greenward shift.
