Morgan33 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Those uniforms are not as similar as people seem to suggest. The Stars have much wider stripes and the road uniforms are vastly different.Dallas is a textbook example of how to knock an update clear out of the park.

hockey week Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Technically the road uniform is a black stripe and shoulders away from being the Hawks' white jerseys.The Stars' green jersey is exactly the Rangers pattern, isn't it? It's very very close if it's not. That's the funny thing with the Stars, it's such a good jersey that it really doesn't matter if it has a VERY similar pattern to the Rangers and Blackhawks. It still looks different thanks to the color. Where everyone complains about the Lightning's third looking like LA and Tampa Bay looking like Toronto, this is in that special exemption that say, LA's old gold jerseys don't get compared with Detroit (early on) or Philly (in the 80s), it was something special on its own. Same here. WE notice it because we're obsessives. As long as we never get in those situations where we see those two similar uniforms side-by-side (which is what started this discussion), most people will never notice, and that's good. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 It would be confusing for most the Hawks fans anyways, because they wouldn't understand why Sharp and Oduya are on the Texas team...

Lots of teams shared striping patterns but the colour differences made them stand out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Let's remember what we lost...With the exception of that star-pattern jersey, which would probably be rather dated today, we're talking about a VERY boring history. I dare say their current logo is the LEAST create-a-team of their on-jersey logos. I think the secondary package is weak, but that's not the biggest thing. I think we all got complacent and used to that logo because it's been around so long, and none of it holds up to the North Stars' genius logo. But, it's been 20+ years, it's time to move on. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I like the left most logo... Not necessarily saying they should change back to it but it does have some merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 For everyone that complains about the Stars being a knock off of the Rangers and Hawks, I don't see too many people complaining when most of the league looked like this: The penguins alone shared the same template as the Redwings white jersey. Everyone else it was either solid color or white jersey with sleeve stripes/hem stripe or solid color jersey/sleeve stripes/hem stripes and white jersey with yolk/sleeve stripes/hem stripes. For the record when I had NHL 2001 for the PC, I modded the game to have all these jersey types as the default sets. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollins Man Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I don't see the problem with the league looking like that. No one is knocking off anyone. Everyone has their own look and color and even though most teams have the basic straight hem/sleeve stripes, everyones is changed just enough to make them different from one another. Even the penguins have 5 stripes going down the arms while the red wings have three, and the waist stripes and sock stripes are also different. Obviously there are only so many striping patters you can churn out before you start looking like someone else, but the key is to not try to look like someone else instead of purposely trying to dress up like an original six team like the stars are doing.

mafiaman Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I took the panther head from the roundel on the JetBlues, put a yellow circle behind it for the sun, and gave it lots of outlines for sort of an Art Deco feel. I don't think this is very good, but if they have to do something different to mark their territory, better this than Army Dress-Up.Not bad...but still no whiskers?

Almighty Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Anyone think the league missed a golden opportunity for a trial-run at a "color rush" game last night between the Christmas-themed Stars (green) and Hawks (red)? Me, too !Stars green is not really x-mas green, for that it must be darker. Like the old and far superior 2000 lookStars new jerseys look cheap with that kelly green shade, and the logo is just horrible, compared to the "all-star" era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almighty Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The Edge butchering of Colorado, Calgary and Pittsburgh was bad, but you can still see a glimpse of how nice they once were and you know what team they are.Not so with the Kings and Stars, they are unrecognizable and in my mind they are not the LA Kings and the Dallas Stars, could be two new random expansions teams.

To distinguish themselves from the Bruins?Should have just made yellow the dominant colour, or worked blue trim into the look. Would be a very unique look as opposed to a very bland one.

Morgan33 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Was anybody honestly having difficulty distinguishing those two teams. The uniforms were completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
