LOVELAND, CO - The Colorado Crush of the IFL have announced new uniforms for the upcoming season.
Replacing the traditional look of navy blue, baby blue and white, the Crush will be adapting orange more into these new uniforms this season, with orange sleeves and shoulder piping on their home jerseys. Their numbers on the home jerseys are white with an orange trim on both sides of the jerseys and the sleeves. The road jerseys keep the same style, only with white sleeves, blue numbers with orange trim on both sides, and white shoulder numbers with orange trim. Both the home and away jerseys will be worn with the same blue pants with orange stripes.
Also introduced this season is a new orange helmet, replacing the classic blue that has been worn since the creation of the team.
Photos of the jerseys and helmet can be seen here:
The Crush begin their season at home on February 26th, against the Salt Lake Screaming Eagles. Tickets may be purchased by visiting Budweiser Events Center or by calling 970-619-4100

The fully stickerred helmet has a white and blue stripe down the middle. Really makes it look good.

Those uniforms look really sleak. This team is going to look great on the field.

And from everything I see they should play as well as they look. Coach is going to have them ready to play ball.

I was actually in a fantasy football league last year which combined players from the IFL and CIF. I had the number one pick in our draft and took Demarius Washington. I even put together a pre-season media guide blog: CIFL - Portland ForestDragons 2016 Media Guide Blog |

I like the uniforms. It's kind of hard to tell how the orange helmets will go with them. They may turn out to look great. I'm looking forward to the season starting and seeing these guys on the field.

I am just glad that they are getting rid of the baby blue (Chargers colors) and bringing the orange (Broncos colors) back into the fold. From what I saw of the uniforms I think that the orange helmets is going to look awesome. Plus, with the oversized stickers on the helmet there isn't as much orange showing as you might think. The final sticker placement has a big white/blue stripe down the middle that is not seen in the picture above.

I like it better than the "Horn" looking stripes they had last season (and on the old Colorado Ice helmets prior to last year).  |

Reminds me of the old pinstripe 90's Patriots jerseys (which...I oddly prefer to be honest). Yeah I didn't mind the helmets but the stripes on the shoulders were a little too much. I am also not too sure how I feel about the names that they put on the back? As a fan and a broadcaster I want to see their name, not their Twitter handle. |

As a fan and a broadcaster I want to see their name, not their Twitter handle. I agree, the stripes on the shoulders were a little too much. I also agree about the name plates- having Twitter handles instead of names on the back is unusual. I get that they're trying to be 21st Century about it, but I would rather know what their names are instead of having to look at the jersey number and trying to identify who is who all the time. I hope the Crush aren't going to do the same thing. |

I'm kind of divided. I thought it was kind of cool, but several of the names were not actually twitter handles as they were nicknames. I would rather they all have their names or they all have their twitter handles on the jerseys.
