Well, the victory green would blend a lot more with the black at a distance; they'd be a broadcaster's nightmare. I think that's exactly why they went for a much brighter shade of green; at a distance and blurred, like jerseys often are seen during broadcast, the actual green parts would look basically invisible and make the job of the commentators way harder than necessary. The Sharks' "stealth" jerseys suffer from that very issue; the teal doesn't show up well on broadcast because it's a dark shade on a dark shade. The victory green seems too dark to work with the idea the team obviously wanted to go for; we may not like it, but the team does. It's obvious they wanted to incorporate the neon lights that the Bank of America Plaza is known for into the jersey in some form, which is clearly the reason for the skyline teaser; and neon green works better for legibility than dark green on black without a good amount of white for contrast. Thats why you'd add white/silver. Like the stars in the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would a glow in the dark jersey be used to its full potential? In someone's room with the lights out? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

The black jersey with a dark green accent always made it kind of empty I think they were designed to be demoralizing, to make Minnesotans feel like the team was devoid of spirit and had one foot out the door (the other one in the gutter).Then they kept it in Dallas anyway. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black jersey with a dark green accent always made it kind of empty By design; they were made during the time Norm Green was trying to get them out of Minnesota by every possible avenue due to all the controversy coming down on him. Going from the gorgeous but painfully short-lived Cup Finals set to a dull, boring set with all ties to the "North" part of their name removed was basically Norm making an "all location-applicable" jersey set for wherever he finally landed the team. He tried Anaheim and was cockblocked by Disney. Then he got Dallas while still leading Minnesota along that there was ever even a chance the team could stay, pulling the wool over even the league's eyes until it was too late for them to stop anything. There's a reason Minnesota fans who were around at that time so venomously, vehemently detest Norm. He was a sleazeball, through and through, and had the North Stars fallen under anybody else, they probably stay in Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Light Bright dots, no neon green, just the basic pattern in silver to add some of this design to their plain white numbers. The bevel matches their primary logo.

mattr1198 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks like the Rangers just leaked that not only will they (and most other, if not all, teams) release a Reverse Retro jersey, but a FOURTH jersey as well for the so-called "Power 31 Collection". Any ideas what you think this new series is going to look like? NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepis21 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 It might has sense except that Reverse Retro is gonna be a 3rd jersey for Rangers not 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Im not a fan of the lazer green Stars jersey. To me it looks gimmicky and quite tacky. In the publicity photos they can make it look as 'cool' as possible, but IRL it won't look that eye catching. It'll just be a dark, bland looking Dallas jersey, a bit like San Jose's is. (maybe the green will pop a bit more than San Jose, sure I'll concede that. But still.) Also I don't like the Dallas pants logo on the front of a jersey. It's a weird, imbalanced design that looks fine as a supporting mark but not as a main logo. It's just like Carolina sticking a vertical flag pole mess on the front of their black jerseys. Ugly. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The star made it better, but in most pictures, it looks like a black and gold sweater. I liked the initial Dallas sweater more. Maybe it is my nostalgia goggles that I am wearing but I just think it worked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
