Morgan33 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yea the logo is the only thing that ruins their new unis. It's awful.I don't know why they couldn't just re-color the old one.From what i've heard here, the new owner despises it.And from looking at nhluniforms.com, the first year the owner had full control, he dropped the jersey with the primary logo, leaving the Dallas script jersey as the primary and only home/away until he could rebrandInteresting... I had not heard that story before.The more baffling question however, is why the script was even approved in the first place, especially since the ST^RS logo always looked best on a black jersey. Frankly, any iteration of that logo is a much better option than that lazy script. As for the current logo, it's even better. Its a got a "Big D," a star, and wasn't originally designed for Minnesota, what more do you need? Speaking of which, notice how the ST^RS logo is slanted with an arrow (The A) pointing "North." That was done on purpose.I do miss the gold however, especially since it was an integral part of the teams identity dating back to 1967. As good as the silver looks, it will never look quite right. Some of the concepts that incorporate athletic gold look spectacular. Even the ones that kept silver in the scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams have no problem using it. Ottawa's used gold pretty well since 1992. The Stars could have worked gold in there somewhere. A little gold trim on those new unis would be incredible.

Morgan33 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 There are two Pantone swatches for each metallic colour. A flat version and a metallic version; regardless of whether it's silver or gold. I don't buy that excuse. While the silver certainly works, it feels like a leftover from an ill advised idea to use Dallas Cowboys colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much you defend it. If they wanted true unifomity, they wouldn't have included a metallic at all. They would just be green, black, and white. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Chewbacca Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 On an unrelated note, why is San Jose going with white at home tonight??According to Chris Creamer, it is because when the Kings wear their Stadium Series Jersey in April against the Sharks, San Jose will be wearing their black alternate jersey. About the Dallas Stars, compared to what it replaced, their new uniforms are tough to hate. I completely agree about the logo. I feel that it doesn't fit into the traditional look that the Stars have finally gone back to. Their road jersey is outstanding, even though I wish the font was standard block and had black trim around the numbers. As for their home jersey, it deserves major props because thanks to the Stars, we finally have an NHL team that wears a light green jersey. I much prefer Kelly Green over this new Victory Green but I can definitely live with it for the time being. I do miss the gold/yellow/urine/athletic gold/the fourth colour pixel in a Sharp Aquos television though I understand why the Stars got rid of it.

Chewbacca Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Does anyone know if the Chicago Blackhawks or the Washington Capitals will end up wearing their Winter Classic Jerseys again this season? I see that the Red Wings and Blackhawks yet again are playing in Stadium Series games next season. I hope they don't go for the futuristic looks the Stadium Series has now become known for.

I see that the Red Wings and Blackhawks yet again are playing in Stadium Series games next season. I hope they don't go for the futuristic looks the Stadium Series has now become known for.Detroit? This will be their first Stadium series game. They've done the Winter Classic twice, so 3 games out of 8 years for a marquee market isn't a lot. Meanwhile Chicago has done 2 Winter Classics and will have done 2 Stadiums come next year, so 4 out of 8, but 3 consecutive seasons. So I see where you can be confused. I misworded this. 3 outdoor games in eight years is still a hell of a lot more than most teams in the NHL at the moment unfortunately. When I said yet again, I only meant Chicago. I know that Detroit has never played a Stadium Series game before. Hopefully their Stadium Series Jerseys will turn out alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 attn: [mod edit: "other members who disagree with me"] If the Blackhawks, Bruins, and Penguins hadn't become so wildly popular, there probably wouldn't have been a proliferation of outdoor games, so instead of your precious Perds being snubbed for the Stadium Series, there just wouldn't be a Stadium Series at all. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worcat Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 As much as I'd love to see the Blues play Chicago, Detroit, or Nashville at Busch Stadium in the winter classic/stadium series - I'd equally LOVE to see a Pro Beach Hockey style game between the '93 expansion teams; Florida Panthers and Anaheim (Mighty) Ducks. It would work at either location but I'd assume Marlins Park would be chosen due to it being the most modern. Roller hockey at it's finest! This would be awesome!!

This would be awesome!!If there's a team in the NHL that should be next in line for an Outdoor Game, it is the St. Louis Blues and I have a feeling that their day is coming soon. I'd love to see a Stadium Series game in Florida as well. As a Canucks fan, I think Roberto Luongo was completely shafted by the Canucks for the Heritage Classic which was a damn shame. I hope the Panthers get to take part in an Outdoor Game for that reason and the idea of an Outdoor Hockey game in Florida sounds really, really cool. After last year's Stadium Series game in California, I think it would be a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
