Gothamite 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?Kind of, but not quite.

29texan Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 There are a lot of Stars fans (or "fans", maybe I should say) who are bitching about this. These are BEAUTIFUL!Sure they got rid of gold, which is what many people didn't want, and yeah many of us wish we could have the 99-2000 jerseys back, but I love these. Seriously, just take a look at these facebook comments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStamper 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.Good is good. I don't know how it can be good for a traditional market but bad for a non traditional market. They all play hockey in the NHL. Who cares how long the city has been represented. These are sweet unis, great colors, if it would look good in Boston or Montreal it looks good in Dallas, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scorcho Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 This is a really beautiful upgrade. These might be slagged off as being original 6 dress ups, but they've absolutely nailed it. Clean, bold, terrific colours. Absolutely beautiful. I love the new logo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLion Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 It's almost there for the Stars. Still not a huge fan of the logo but with a few minor tweaks the overall look is solid.1. Scrap the roundel and put the TX state logo on the shoulders.2. Outline the numbers on both jerseys in black.3. Green home helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayne Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yep, this is really nice. Chalk me up as a fan. Well done Stars. 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...
Lights Out Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The logo's neither a hit or miss, but the point is that it vastly destroys their previous look.That's really not hard to do. Their previous look was terrible. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Very nicely done.These are the best jerseys the stars have worn in my opinion. Even better than the cup jerseys with the jersey star. I always thought that idea was a bit overdone and a bit tacky. These are pure class. And the green is nicer. Overall I really like them. I just wish the numbers had outlines, but not a big deal. I even like the roundel on the shoulders (though, the state D would be better). I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

OhioSportsMan61 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Here is what the uniforms would look like with the added stroke (which I think it needs)...also added green cuffs to the road. My Behance Portfolio --- Follow @Steinosaur19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I just realized why the D in the Stars logo doesn't connect to the star, it's because the D is raised above the star. The black is a dropshadow which blocks out the rest of the star. I (crudely) coloured in the dropshadow to separated it from the rest of the black.Don't know if this has been pointed out before or is a well known thing, but it just blew my mind.

MEANS Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes, it's basically a beveled star with a beveled D sitting on top of it.It feels good to see so many positive responses. I was fortunate to design the new numbers on these. They went through many variations; outlined/not outlined, but in the end the team had final say. I however like solid numbers in most cases so I am pleased with their choice. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 ^you had a hand in the design? cool! I like the numbers, just think they might have been better with an outline. Anyway it's all positive from me.

Those are examples of what a hockey team should look like (and all the teams that look any good have a similar template)! Go name me a team that has a unique, "non traditonal", while good looking template... All the teams with those "new" templates look like garbage (Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Florida, Calgary, Anaheim, Ottawa, etc.)... and what's this BS that you have to be at a certain latitude to have "traditional" uniforms?

Midway Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I like them. But I can't not see the Blackhawks St. Patty's sweaters. I wish the home mimicked the road more because that's truly where it's at as far as a timeless yet unique design goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 They beveled the logo. So much for getting any support among the A&M fanbase.

(Choosing silver over gold reads that way to me, too.) I prefer them with no outlines here. I wish the Cowboys would use their old numbers.
