Avalanche may wear this in Stadium Series game vs. Red Wings

The NHL likes teams to go bold with their uniforms for the Stadium Series, and this rendering of a possible Colorado Avalanche jersey for the 2016 edition against the Detroit Red Wings would live up to that reputation.

The Avalanche will host the Red Wings for an outdoor game on Feb. 27, 2016 at Coors Field, home of MLB's Colorado Rockies.

The original Colorado Rockies were a hockey team which competed in the NHL for 6 seasons (1976-1982) before moving to New Jersey to become the Devils. This jersey concept is a nod to the Rockies logo, which is basically the Colorado state flag outlined by a mountain.

It remains unannounced what the Red Wings -- one of the most conservative teams when it comes to uniforms -- will wear for this outdoor game. A quick Google search will show a few artists have put some ideas together.

This will be the Avalanche's first outdoor game. The modern Red Wings have participated in two outdoor games since 2009.

Here's what the Wings wore for the 2009 Winter Classic against the Chicago Blackhawks at Wrigley Field:

There was one Stadium Series game last season. The San Jose Sharks hosted the Los Angeles Kings at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Here's what they wore:
