0060: Dark Dallas

I'm still getting Dallas Stars concepts on a regular basis, probably because this is one of the teams most in need of a new look and everybody has an idea on how to improve it. Bryan Dyck has some worthy ideas here, but unfortunately the logo is too dark and intricately detailed to work well for a professional sports franchise. That being said, the home jersey is green and that will always win me over.

The star part in the logo looks like the Houston Astros logo but other than that it's a major upgrade

I concur with Chris on the fact that the logo does seem a little overwhelming, that being said I think if you straightened out the Dallas font on the third that it would definitely win me over (if enlarged and took out the the Number on the front).

Stars fan here. Agree with your comments. A little to dark/detailed on the logo, but the green home colors/striping are really nice. The star on top of the "DALLAS" on the black jersey is an interesting integration of the star icon, but I'm all for ditching the basketball-style city name on the front.

I love the logo on the black jersey! They have got to do a better job in real life on those jerseys.

it has a north star feel to it, but the logo has to much going on

I may be alone here but I don't hate the current Stars jerseys at all. Yes they are VERY simplistic but they are also unique and the color scheme is nice. I would really like to see them do a drastic 3rd something that uses the old North Stars colors but the current Home and Away works for me.

Kinda gothic, colour pallete-wise... I like the star on the third jersey though, nice touch!

I gave it 4/5. Very nice. Although the main logo seems more like a shoulder patch logo than a main crest design. For the black homes, I'd scrap the number on the front (why do teams do that, blech) and go with just the open star Dallas design (which is great) or just the star with a big D instead of the whole word Dallas. Well done!

The design of the green and white jerseys work well for me. Not a huge fan of the logo, but it's not terrible. Not a fan of the 3rd, but just because I hate the present jerseys so much I just want to see all traces that ever existed gone. But green is certainly the way to go.

no offense but i feel like the logo is a cop-out, i mean it looks like a twist on the old texas with a d in it.. besides the logo i like the design

like the home / road, not a fan of the 3rd, too similar to the (bad looking) jersey they already use!! if you could seperate the 'dallas stars' word mark from the star / texas logo, i think it would look a lot sharper....

I like the Dallas word mark with the star over it . Maybe use that with the home/away, but lighten up the green a few shades.

get rid of the "Dallas" and lighten the font a little and it could be workable. I am sick of seeing the City's names on jerseys. It works for the Rangers and that is about it.
