Lights Out Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 These are just as bad as Carolina's uniforms, IMO. Once again, bland and unremarkable, trying too hard to be "traditional and iconic" for a Southern team.Well they are an original '67 expansion team after all.Yeah, but the traditional aesthetic still doesn't work for a very un-traditional hockey market like Dallas. These would be perfect if the Stars were still in Minnesota. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadSeed84 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Can the Philadelphia Eagles steal these colors? Love that green more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 numbers def. need an outline. Single color numbers give off a Chinese knockoff vibe..at least to me anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 These are actually aren't half bad. I thought the loss of gold would hurt the set, but putting a stronger emphasis on the green over black and lightening the shade makes the set look really nice. It's a little stripped down, but it's nowhere hear as bland as I expected. Good work, Stars!

philly97flyer Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Any chance that if we go on a massive twitter blitz they would consider going to green helmets before the season starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I like these. Could be a late iconic arrival for the Dallas era.I've seen so many green Blackhawks jerseys (which I hate... sorry) that I definitely get that vibe from the back of that Stars home, but I can live with it.As far as complaints about the star and D styling, my guess is there are a lot of trademarked stars out there (some in their own metro area) and even D-stars, so there's probably only so much you can do. That silver looks like it has some texture to it, which would be cool, but it might just be the photo.Overall, it's solid. Probably long overdue. Definitely an upgrade from the current stuff. (And green and gold to the Wild?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcb05 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 A simpler design is okay if your colors are unique. That's why Stars works and Canes doesnt. Plus, even with minor quirks, Stars is a huge upgrade. Carolina took a huge step in the wrong direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The D looks like a toilet seat (fittingly enough ). Still, this is an upgrade, albeit a minor one, from their last-days-of-the-North-Stars look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I like these. Could be a late iconic arrival for the Dallas era.The Dallas era already had an iconic look.I may be in the minority but besides the jersey being primarily green, I hated those. Overall, I feel the new look is nice. Its simple and the green is very refreshing. It is 1000 x better than the crap that they have been wearing the past few years.

andrewharrington Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That number font is so weird. I feel like that bottom left corner on the 9 shouldn't even be there.They're supposed to be like the serif block style that the Cowboys used to wear, but a bit more contemporary.

rcb05 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That look was only iconic because the team that wore it was so successful. It was always a bit busy, colors were too dark, and it always really bothered me having an italicized star inside a star outline that's not italicized.

But I'm old and remember when they switched to it.Points for the Cup win, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The NHL continues to go back in time with it's design, which is good in a way (could be worse), but while the Hurricanes flopped with theirs, Dallas actually surprised me. The logo's neither a hit or miss, but the point is that it vastly destroys their previous look. Good job. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

bleuet Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 By the way, white numbers with no outline and black numbers with a green outline were both very dumb decisions.???Numbers "à la" Dallas Cowboys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
