The_Admiral Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Big fan of the Stars set. As I've said a billion times, green with retro-leathery gloves and breezers is what I always wished the North Stars would have evolved to. I had darker breezers in mind than what the Stars are doing here, but close enough. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 This speaks greatly to the success of this uniform, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_RH_ Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I must be in the minority with the Stars uniform as I feel distracted by the white/breezer color/glove color. If those were all the same color I think I'd enjoy them much more. Also, I'm not a fan of the missing "A". I think the Modano-era logo was superior as the "A" was pretty much there. But man, just think how poorly they're going to play with all the extra weight from this felt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_RH_ Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I'm not good at editing photos, but I think it shows how if the colors were more consistant the look would be pretty good: IMO green breezers would be just too much green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, disagree on that. White gloves doesn't add anything to the look, in my opinion; and I like that they went with brown gloves here, since that's the type of glove the Texans themselves wore.

The_Admiral Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Perhaps sticking my neck out a little on this one: the D-ST☆RS logo here, maybe with a bit more work, would be a better fit for the austere green/white/black sweaters than the silvery beveled D-star, and a truer update to the old STɅRS logo. EDIT: actually, if the insistence is on black never coming between green and white, then you don't have to/can't do anything to the logo ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green in as an actual team color to replace the black outright would also be a really good way to go about it. You can keep the D-star (without bevel, preferably, but either works), but two shades of green alongside white isn't a palette anybody else in the NHL is using as a primary identity, and something I think could look pretty excellent.

Disagree. That shade of green is not too much green if the breezers matched the sweaters. All-green adds variety to all-blue, red and black uniforms. Which is why I loved the 70s & 80s North Stars and 80s Whalers away uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The jerseys themselves remind me of nearly every other practice jersey I had growing up, particularly the weird shoulder yoke. Overall I find it pretty meh. I'm genuinely surprised so many people seem to like this more than Nashville's, who i think hit it out of the park and is already the best jersey that organization has had.

Wade Heidt Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I know it is a small thing, but I really wish the Capitals would get gloves with royal blue instead of navy when wearing their throwback alternates. So that they can match the colour scheme. Other NHL teams seem to be able to manage that with gloves and alternate uniforms these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think wanting matching gloves is that egregious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 2, I seem to be picturing Terrence and Phillip wearing something like this. LATE EDIT: I’m also getting a Nordiques vibe with the hockey stick diagonals on each side of the A.
