The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 "It's really sad," former North Star Dave Gagner told NHL.com. "We had probably a group of 8,000 loyal, real loyal fans at that time and it's difficult when you see those people that have put so much faith in the organization have to see the team go. It was difficult from that standpoint. It probably wouldn't have happened if there were more [fans] than that, but those people got a bad deal." The Catch of the Day!

pluggerplugger1 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 It is weird, seeing all these Minnesotans wear Stars gear at Wild games (and really, anywhere) knowing what little support they had when they existed. Can't blame me though. I was born just months after they left for Dallas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 i often wear north stars jerseys to stars games in dallas... i wore it this year when the stars played the wild.wild fans have awkward reactions to it. stars fans just see it as one of the stars past uniforms, not unlike the cup-era jersey.

Bayne Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 The more I see the Blue Jackets' current jerseys (not including the alternate which I think blows) the more I don't understand the problems so many people seem to have with it. I think it's really quite good. Nothing outstanding but far from being terrible. I also don't mind the red pants even on the away jerseys. They're called the blue JACKETS, not the blue pants. It's irrelevant to me what color their pants are. 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...
Funky Bunky Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I used to hate the Blue Jackets look, but it's actually growing on me so much that I'm considering buying one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Are there any Minnesotans of a certain age who can step up here and explain why they couldn't be bothered to support a hockey team? Who the hell fetishizes a bunch of high school boys playing the game worse than professionals? Goddamn bunch of snow-Texans is what they are.Because Norm Green was a scumbag, like Jeffrey Loria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Agreed with the hem striping, but outside of that, I feel that Lumbus has a fantastic-looking uniform... from the front. It all kinda goes to hell in the back with the Copperplate Narrow numbers and that weird, unrelated-to-anything name font. If they switched both to a narrow version of the font they use in the semi-roundel on their 3rd jerseys, they'd have it nailed in my book.

Morgan33 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 That looks absolutely fantastic! This is yet another thing we can blame Reebok for... If it weren't for the Edge debacle, this would likely be their primary jersey with a matching white that wouldn't even need to use black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Still has Copperplate and that goofy letter font, but it's still the best jersey they've ever worn. A new font coupled with a shade of blue a notch lighter - maybe a deep royal - as opposed to navy, and you've got a winner. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Xodius Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I still never understood the black. If CBJ would have stuck with this design, even through the Edge redesign process, we could have seen another franchise go down the path of "BFBS". Never was there any black in the BJ's color scheme. I'm pretty happy with the step that CBJ took with their jerseys after the Edge redesign. They managed to keep the same basic look while eliminating black, an irrelevant color that was used as a gimmick in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 The only reason I don't mind the black here is because it contrasted with the navy under the TV lights.

I feel it's mostly the 30 and under crowd. The ones that didn't have the opportunity so much.BTW, I love me some North Stars gear as much as the next person, but i would never wear a NS jersey to a Wild game. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Why would anyone drool over a navy sweater with a black stripe? That looks like crap.
