I love the original green and gold but I also like when black was added in. The black primaries were the weakest but I felt it worked once they moved to Dallas. It gave the Dallas Stars their own look, even if the franchise wore them in Minnesota. The North Stars green and gold set was the best they ever had. I do like the white jersey with black in it, but not more than the only green and gold. The green jersey with black was just awful. And then they got worse, and then finally the team skipped town... I don't understand how people can love the North Stars with black, and yet hate the Flames with black. (Ironically, I think that the opposite is true... The black on the N-Stars clutters their already busy look, while at least the second set of the Flames in black, makes the other colors really pop. The yellow no longer gets lost in the white, and the designs were fairly clean and had good balance) "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

JagAaron33 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 NBA: The Cavaliers going to the swoosh-sword-cut-thing on the bottom of the jersey and shorts during the late 90s comes to mind. Conversely, can we give an award in reverse for getting rid of orange and grey Bobcats for the classic Hornets in Charlotte? NHL: The Ducks for sure. MLB: The Blue Jays, definitely... also if you ask me, the Rays going to the blue-and-yellow thing is a downgrade. NFL: The new Bucs uniforms, the new Dolphins logo (don't mind the actual uniforms so much), and the Jaguars weird-stripe era (before the current set).

bowld Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 No photos right now but Rays going from Green to blue/blue was a downgrade. Too bad they sucked so much during the green era or it might still exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the black clutters the look on the North Stars just a bit. But I will say that the change in the road (i.e., green) to including black changed the stripe pattern. I do not love those two thicker stripes on the earlier jersey and I think the thinner stripes was an upgrade (on the other hand I love, love, love the pre-black North Stars white jersey, which is just before my time. I think the green and yellow looked perfect on that and black sort of muddied it, which is what I think happened to the Flames). The Flames, on the other hand, had terrific stripe patterns in the 1980s. And the black took that away. And I think it took the "pop" away as well. If the North Stars were still around in their latest "N-Star" uniform and I could pick either the Flames or the North Stars (my team) to dump black, I'd pick the huge improvement for the Flames over the minor improvement for the North Stars. But this is just all my personal taste, anyway...

The green, black and gold North Stars jersey is one of my all time favourites. Weirdly with the Flames, I love the red, black and gold scheme on the dark jersey, and yet I don't like it so much on the white uniform. I don't know why, but something about it always seemed off and I can't quite put my finger on it. 34 minutes ago, DC in Da House w/o a Doubt said: Mighty Ducks to Ducks was devastating. The Ducks now are tolerable, but that original set was the pits Nothing says "Brian Burke is embarassed about our past" like going to an extremely minimalist black and white look and having almost no visual connection to the thing they share their name with. Their branding at the time consisted entirely of wordmarks. They've gotten better since introducing actual logos into the identity, and while the uniforms are certainly more colourful than what came before, they're still not particularly good.

Coacher42 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 The first two aren't "the worst", but they're nowhere near the best either. That last one still stings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 This uniform could have been great. They should have added some trim on the arm stripes and fixed the waist stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
