KrazyHorse Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 So what about the new Stars logo on this? Basically a recolored Whalers jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadBat Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I am really hoping this grows on me. This was very disappointing. Especially after the Texas Stars released there new uniforms yesterday, which are so nice. The thing that gets me is not that there is no yellow/gold, it's that they are so boring.I thought theses were suppose to be a classic look? Nothing about these yells old school hockey or classic. Their previous logo was a classic. As a fan of the stars for the last 15+ yrs, I don't know if/how much I can get behind these. This team has been slowly losing me and not sure how much I can hold on anymore.Jerseys aside, I'm not sure how you can look at a new stable ownership / GM hailing from one of the most successful hockey franchises in the last 20 years and not get a little bit excited. The team has good young talent waiting to develop, and with a GM with proven hockey smarts, well, I don't know if now is the best time to jump ship. Yes, it's been tough the last 5 years, but I do believe the the team is about to turn the corner.That and the logo is already growing on me, so it might grow on you too. If the Stars start winning again in these, well, even better.Dont get me wrong, I am not jumping ship. I am excited about certain aspects of future. I just think I got my hopes up too high about the logo and I was disappointed, just like I do with the team.I guess I really shouldn't pass any judgment until I see the whole uniform package.but as it stands, the logo is just meh.In fairness, do you really think people would like the "classic" Stars logo (in your sig) if it was released today? I can imagine cries of "boring," "flat," "tasteless..." (and i'm someone who basically shares your taste). Just sayin'.I understand that, But to be honest, How many logos that are considered "classic",if revealed today, would be met with such love and admiration. To me,IMO, as fans we grow attached to logo's and the colors of our teams (some more than others), so when change comes, it is very hard to accept. Some can take the changes for what they are, Changes and nothing more and move on. Others take it as an act of betrayal.In the end, the logo has not grown on me (yet) and I am still excited about the actually reveal.I respect your opinion on the matter along with others on this board.

BrianLion Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 That's not bad actually.The logo still looks like it should be on a Dodge truck, but that's a decent looking overall sweater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I agree that the green doesn't look Kelly or Celtic green but I used the same green that's in the logo that was leaked.Until we get to the official unveiling, there's no real way to know exactly what colors will be used. These are leaked images, and the majority of people who produce RGB graphics aren't real particular about accurate color matching.To me, the Green looks like PANTONE 341 C (which certainly could be called "Kelly Green"), but I certainly won't know for sure until I get my dirty little paws on the official files.still not seeing that as Kelly...Can't seem to paste the swatch here...Here's hoping for : PANTONE16-6138 TCX You mean...?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Beautiful colour... Can't wait to see the green jersey. It'll probably vault the Stars into at the least the top 5 when it comes to aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I don't know why it just hit me when I saw that Whalers mashup concept, but regardless, it just hit me:Go Å tars!

pmoehrin Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I could see a minor league team using this logo, but not an NHL team.It was one of those things where I agreed with the change, because I think the Stars logo was starting to look a little dated and that gold is just way too dark. But I think they basically just exchanged one bad logo for another. Its their fourth logo in 20 years and they're probably going to change it again in another five years.Maybe they want to distance themselves from the Cowboys, but it may not even be such a bad idea to just drop the green entirely and just go in a totally different direction. The other three major Dallas based teams use blue as well as the MLS team. The Stars are the only hold out. The only reason they use green in the first place is because that's what they used up in Minnesota, but there's a team up in Minnesota that uses green as a primary color. An expansion team put in Dallas would never think to make green as a primary color. So why are they still trying to hold onto this history for? Your getting rid of the gold anyway. Why not just go all the way and knock out the green as well and start from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrontierPsychiatrist Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 This logo has been confirmed to be inauthentic by someone producing team apparel.I've created an account to share this information I picked up from a friend in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrontierPsychiatrist Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 You're a nut. You're crazy in the coconut.Well, to be specific, he said the roundel wasn't one of the logos he got. I don't have much as far as details go.It's possible the roundel was scrapped and they are going ahead with the D-star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyHorse Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If the soon to be former Stars logo is considered boring, what about the Steelers? Not much difference to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Doctor Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If the soon to be former Stars logo is considered boring, what about the Steelers? Not much difference to me.Boring and unoriginal, but then again the majority of logos in the NFL are boring and bland (or worse, non-existant.)

Gothamite Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Beautiful colour... Can't wait to see the green jersey. It'll probably vault the Stars into at the least the top 5 when it comes to aesthetics.That is a great shade. The Cosmos will use something similar this year; after years of being ignored for dark, dreary shades of green Kelly is making a real comeback, and I couldn't be happier.

Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else questioned why one is outlined in black and the other isn't?A bit of a reach, I know... but these haven't been officially released by the club.

29texan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 You know somethin', folks? I think more people will warm up to it (or hate it) when we see it on the sweater. Personally, I wont say anything about it until then... but I will continue to say that it needs to be GOLD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaMROCK Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 That is beautiful, the navy Whalers set is my favorite NHL jersey EVER!!!

My comments with ColorWerx centered around my belief that the above color (which I found on the CWX website) was a true Kelly green and that what we've seen has NOT been .
