Bmac Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The North Stars used the logo that would coincide with their move to Dallas at center ice during the last season before the rebrand to black. There's a better photo out there somewhere but I can't find it at the moment... https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Nebraska football switched from gray facemasks to red for the 1982 Orange Bowl. They've been red ever since. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 In 2011 the Twins designated the cream throwbacks as the primary home option to honor Harmon Killebrew. In August the team made the M caps the primary option because of a hot streak while wearing them, creating this odd mismatch of a look: https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The face mask example just refreshed my memory. The Saskatchewan Roughriders wore white helmets on the road from 2012 to 2015. During the 2013 season, they made the permanent switch from green masks to white masks on the white helmet. Will cite photos of Geroy Simon with the Riders, as 2013 was his only season wearing the green and white on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Heidt Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 This is a unique one happening this year in the Quebec-based lower level minor pro Ligue Nord-Americaine de Hockey (LNAH). Involves 3 uniform changes this season. The Berlin BlackJacks started their first season as the first ever US-based team in LNAH. Wearing black and yellow: It was a financial nightmare for the team that probably should not have started. The league took over the team 10 games into the season in early November. While the league figured out what to do, the team barnstormed into early December as Petrole & Propane Belanger. Basically named after a Quebec company that must have been providing financial backing. Company logo and colours. Wore black uniforms trimmed with red: In early December, the team found a new home in Saint-Jerome. Became the Petroliers Du Nord (Northern Oilers). With this came another new uniform, third this season. The Northern Oilers wear red with black trim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you recall, the switch went well at first.

sc49erfan15 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Not a perfect example because it's a change from preseason to regular season, but the 1992-93 Phoenix Suns wore their older "Western font" jerseys in the preseason, then switched to the "Flaming Basketball" jerseys for the regular season. Here's Charles Barkley wearing the older jerseys during the preseason. ...and a clip of Barkley dunking on the Pistons, also during the preseason, notable because they're wearing the older jerseys, but the floor has the newer logos.

Echo Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The Los Angeles Angels became the California Angels on September 2, 1965, shortly before the end of the 1965 season. The change came in honor of the team's impending move to Anaheim Stadium for the 1966 season. I don't know if they changed their logo at the same time, or if they used the LA cap logo for the rest of the '65 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunaggie08 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 In 2003, The Houston Aeros wore a uniform that was meant to be a throwback to the WHL Aeros of the 70's, with a chest patch celebrating the new version of the Aeros' 10th season using the new primary logo with the previous primary logo on the shoulders.

MG3 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 In 1990, the Jerry Glanville Falcons changed to the black/black/silver home set, and they began the season with red numbers on the white jerseys. In Week 7 or 8, they changed to black numbers on white jerseys. I also have a vague recollection of the Steelers starting a season (1998?) in their recently Nike-fied sets wearing black nameplates on their white jerseys, but switching to the time-honored gold nameplates on the white jerseys late in the season. But I may be wrong on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was pretty standard in the 90s/2000s - teams with new unis would usually wear the previous season's duds in preseason, waiting for regular season to start before busting out the new threads.

The fonts look the same I think that's it. 1997 was the first year with the italicized numbers. The NOB color then changed for 1998.

The fonts look the same The NOB fonts were slightly different in 1997 preseason (and Aug 31) vs. 1997 regular season. Then, as noted above, they used gold letters outlined in black in 1998. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 There's a lot of teams who switch uniforms after preseason. Some teams wear a unique combo. The 1978 Jets wore their Namath era jerseys in preseason with the (then) new helmet and logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4One Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 When the Flames introduced their new red primary jerseys in 2003, the name plate was black, outlined in white. People complained that they couldn't read the names, so it was quickly changed to white, outlined in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Heidt Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Another hockey one I just remembered. The first-year 1974-75 Washington Capitals started the season wearing white pants with their red uniforms. That did not last and they ended up switching to blue pants during the season.
