How do you go from IIRC with those DALLAS jerseys, there was some level of an attempt from the Stars organization to pull from college hockey.

It felt like the designers just left that space blank. I was referring to the logo. Quote I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

Those Stars jerseys were just abysmal. Thin piping where stripes should be and little consistency between the home and road. Green was the most prominent colour on the white jersey while being completely absent on the black version. Double outlined numbers on one, triple outlines on the other. In recent years some interesting prototypes have emerged on Ebay... You've got the home version with a proper logo on the front (big improvement)... ...and an earlier version of the alternate, that eventually became the road, with single outlined numbers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayGloria Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Those are unbelievable horrendous. Wow. I was looking back at old all star game jerseys. Besides the ones with the star hem, these are obvious classics. It makes me miss the orange and black NHL shield: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightening the green to what they have now was definitely the right move. Maybe they could make an alternate based off the cup jerseys but with the new shade of green and with the gold retained. I love the Stars current uniforms in a vacuum but it's disheartening how far removed they are from the look associated with the franchise's pinnacle. Having an alternate with some gold would go a long way to fix that and bridge the gap between the two era's... Whatever they decide to do, those Skyline Green monstrosities have to go. They looked dated the second they were released and are not fit for a pro team IMO. Their Neon is by far their best look: 1 1 2 1 1 3 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty ironic considering everyone seemed to love last year's jerseys, which also made an appearance on happy meals. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampyrRabbit Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 It looks like the new Sharks alternate will be the first in the teams history to not feature orange/gold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The striping is what will make or break this design... Hopefully it has more in common with their 2007-2017 alternate than their "stealth jersey." That re-coloured Northern California shoulder patch looks great. Hopefully it's on both shoulders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Yeah, I kind of agree. Also, put me down as someone who’s happy they finally ditched that nasty shade of orange. I call it ambergris.

SFGiants58 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The shark biting the stick is just so utterly stale to me now. The original shark looks like a hand puppet while the second shark is right out of “learn how to draw manga-style” books you find in the worst parts of a bookstore. They’re both terrible and overplayed. I really wish the fin got promoted when the new set came out, if only to demonstrate the Sharks were truly committed to tearing down their outhouse of a franchise and refreshing everything. I say this all as somebody who used to be a Sharks fan. 2 1 3 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this all as somebody who used to be a Sharks fan. Yeah same here. I like the idea of the shark biting the stick logo more than the actual execution. The original was awesome for its time but looks really dated now. The current logo I’ve never liked. I saw it before it was released with @Cujo and @Puckguy14 and we were already calling it PikaShark. It just looks really goofy and not really like a shark. It looks square and kind of gives off a BTTFII hologram shark vibe. The updated logos they put out a few seasons ago were fine, but really generic and stale. Very strange that they crammed it into that logo set and even used it as a shoulder patch. It was painfully amateurish. The fin roundels have always been great, and I have no idea why they ever went away from that logo. I’m so glad they brought that back and are featuring it more prominently now. I hadn’t really thought about just bumping it to the primary logo status, but yeah I could get behind that. 2 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Morgan33 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Replacing the current logo with the Fin would be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I agree the logo is in dire need of an update but the fin is not strong enough to be their primary logo. It's the perfect shoulder patch. What they should do is update their original logo... Make the Shark more realistic, give it the teal highlights of the current logo and fix the hockey stick. It's hilarious that both versions of that logo got the stick so wrong. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a good thing that San Jose got rid of it everywhere on their home and road uniforms except for the main logo, not so much that they made the back of the inside collar orange for some reason.
