Up next are the Moscow Stars. They had a classy look that they stuck with the entire time.

 

They took to the ice in 1990 wearing this:

 

In 1995, they debuted these wild alternates:

 

In 1997, they changed up their alternate:

 

In 2002, they introduced these blue uniforms. They split road games evenly between their red and blue uniforms:

A classic look that I never really thought would be touched that much! Have loved them since I saw them on the Watertown Braves in the old Pan-Am and knew I had to take them when this league popped up! All I was really looking for were wacky Alts and that's exactly what I got! And that blue one is a thing of beauty too!

Just so everybody knows, I'm going to get through the designs of the original 20 teams, and then posting how each season went and introducing each new team in their first season.

 

Up next are the Prague Golems.

 

The Golems took to the ice wearing these uniforms in 1990:

 

After a fairly successful first season, the Golems introduced a new look:

 

In 1995, the Golems added an alternate uniform:

In 2009, the popular black uniform from the 1990s returned as an alternate:

 

In 2011, the 1990s look came back:

Wow Prague looks sick!

Ya know what? It's time for a throwback to Praha Victories!!

Oh I remember this vividly, and I'm pretty sure we all remember this...though some will probably want to forget this...

By the way for those wondering, I actually came up with a meaning for each stripe of the 1995 uniforms when I originally suggested them, Bleu represents Historie (History), Blanc represents Fierté (Pride), and Rouge represents above all else Communauté (Community). Each stripe is made into a "V" shape to represent Victorie (Victory). The other reason for Red being added was because it was to match Montreal's flag

Up next are the Riga Griffins.

 

The Griffins took to the ice in 1990 wearing these classy uniforms:

 

In 1991, the Griffins added a special alternate based on the flag to celebrate Latvian independence:

 

In 1992, the Griffins went back to their normal look:

 

In 1996, the Griffins added a gray alternate:

[JCRGraphix]

In 1999, the popular flag alternate from 1991 was brought back:

 

In 2008, a new alternate was designed based on the Latvian naval ensign and variant flag:

 

In 2011, to celebrate 20 years of Latvian independence, a new crimson uniform was designed to match the alternate from the year before:

 

In 2012, due to massive jersey sales, the new crimson uniform was promoted to full time, and the old one was kept on as an alternate:

OMFG! These are gorgeous! Thank you!!! Def enjoy the STL pattern vibe! WOW

[JCRGraphix]

Up next are the St. Petersburg Horsemen.

 

Their original uniforms actually featured a logo using the city's old name of Leningrad (the city changed it's name to St Petersburg in 1991) nobody picked up on that in the original thread, so I figured I'd point that out:

 

They updated their uniform when the city changed it's name, and used this look for the next ten years:

 

In 2001, the team was sold to a new owner, and in an effort to distance itself from it's rival Riga, the Horsemen changed their color scheme to black and orange:

 

In 2003, the team added its first and to date only alternate uniform:

 

In 2012, the team went through a rebrand tying together different parts if the team's history:

[JCRGraphix]

Up next are the Saskatoon Blazers. They had a classic look that drew inspiration from the St Louis Blues, Colorado Rockies, Florida Panthers, and Calgary Flames...

 

The Blazers took to the ice in 1990 wearing these uniforms:

 

In 1999, a red alternate was introduced:

 

In 2006, the Blazers modernized their look:

 

In 2010, the red uniform was promoted to full time use:

 

In 2015, the Blazers brought back their original look while keeping the red jersey as an alternate:

All of these are terrific. 

 

 

My team (The Icebreakers) still has some gorgeous jerseys. I feel the designs used here are sleek & very nice. 

[Uglybus]

Great job. Been pumped for the jerseys for a while.

[Darknes]

We have 5 more teams then we hit expansion teams!

I did, I actually mentioned that to @BostonStrong13 in a PM

Anyway St.Petersburg  looks awesome, and the Blazers look suites them well.

Fair enough

Up next are the Seattle Orcas.

 

The Orcas took to the ice wearing these uniforms in 1990:

 

After only one season, the Orcas changed up their look and added a secondary logo:

 

In 1994, the Orcas added a blue alternate uniform:

[JCRGraphix]

In 1998, the Orcas moved right across the border to become the Vancouver Spirits. The new logo was a thunderbird in the shape of a V, also not that the chest stripe makes a V:

 

In 2002, the Spirits added an orange alternate:

 

In 2007, the Spirits rebranded to a new logo based on some Native Canadian art:

 

In 2010, the Spirits added a black alternate:

[JCRGraphix]

Up next is Stockholm.

 

They had a very simple and classic look that stayed mostly the same throughout their history. The Stockholm fans were very superstitious about their look after some early success. They wore this uniform set for the first 7 seasons:

 

In 1997, the Norsemen added a yellow jersey. It was popular with fans and the team did well while wearing them:

 

In 2003, the Yellow jersey became their full-time home jersey:

 

In 2009, the white jersey returned:

My Orcas.... 

 

I'm getting some serious Whalers deja vú over here. Expansion (hopefully, I can hope, right)?

 

They do look good in Vancouver though.
