0388: A Gold Star

I've received a lot of Dallas Stars concepts since the team announced their intentions to launch a rebrand next season, but I'm trying to spread them out a bit here. Today, we get a look at another one from Bryan Dyck. Unfortunately, it's a little too dull for my tastes. But I do like the slanted collegiate-style numbers. I don't think anyone has done that since the Tampa Bay Lightning during their second season in 1993-94 — coincidentally the Stars' first in Dallas.

As I've said before, we'll be seeing a lot of Dallas Stars concepts until the team finally unveils its new logos and uniforms later this year. Meantime, here's one from Torin Kowalenko. I like that the set has not one but two green sweaters.

I know the Dallas Stars are working on a new logo for next season, but if they weren't, I could live with the way Matt Marczel has altered it. To me, these jerseys are fantastic!

The brothers are back! Chance and Jake Waddell return this week with their fauxback Winter Classic series. For the past few months, the pair has been treating us to their interpretations of what all 30 NHL teams might wear to an outdoor game. Two weeks ago, reader Jesse was first to comment and asked to see Dallas and Minnesota. Here they are.

Be the first to comment if you want to select next week's set. Remember, we have just 10 teams left in this series.

Looks like Santa decided that more of you were nice than naughty this year because he's delivered not one but 10 new concepts today! First up is a Seattle Metropolitans design by Wicky Turton. Hm, it's very... red and green. Maybe Santa had a certain theme in mind for today.

Nick Burton would like to see the Red Wings in a red jersey similar to their 2009 Winter Classic threads. It's a pretty sharp look!

The "Big Guy" definitely likes his green and red. Colin May imagines a brighter palette for the Dallas Stars. It's not bad even if he is sticking to the wordmark crest.

Joseph Loretz offers up an elegant fix for the Carolina Hurricanes' flag problem. The club's secondary logo portrays a single red flag with a black square in the middle, which typically refers to a tropical storm. A hurricane is generally represented by two of those flags. However, the swirling winds behind the H in Joseph's logo would appear to be rotating clockwise — which only happens in the southern hemisphere. Oops.

Back to green again. This time it's Chance Waddell (of our ongoing Winter Classic fauxback series) with a sharp sweater for the Canucks. They should just adopt this as their third jersey immediately. In fact, why haven't they already?

Another Original Six team gets a look here on Christmas Day from Wade Herrmann. Again, I'm a big fan! For whatever reason, I really like the black and white logo on the mostly red sweater. Sometimes I think it's too bad NHL teams don't do more one-off sweaters like they do in the minors. (Though most of the time, I'm grateful for that.)

Guess Santa couldn't find anymore green teams, so we're back to the Stars — but this time in a much darker palette as designed by Kevin Dion. In fact, it's actually too dark. On TV, this uniform would look solid black from head to toe. The idea isn't bad, it just needs brighter colors and more contrast.

I believe Icethetics is breaking new ground today. This may be the first bit of concept art ever posted from a female designer. Gotta be honest. I don't think many of them are that interested in designing fake hockey sweaters. But kudos to Christine Adams on her new look for Team Canada.

Oh wait, there was one more team with green. And they also have red. Bryan Dyck probably didn't intend for his set to have that Christmas-y look, but it kind of does anyway. Or maybe it's just me. Or Santa.

We'll wrap things up here with our 10th concept of the day. Ryan Yuck gives us this very red Devils jersey. Filling in the white area in the Devils' logo gives it a whole new look somehow. It's really interesting — as were all of today's jerseys. Which was your favorite?

It looks like we're going to have Dallas Stars concepts here at least once a week. With the team actively looking to rebrand, it makes sense that a lot of what's coming my way revolves around the Stars. Kris Lutes offers up this throwback to the pre-Reebok Edge era and uses the team's AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars for inspiration.

0268: Retro/Modern Stars

Last week, we heard from Stars owner Tom Gagliardi who is definitely ready for a new look in Dallas. Thank goodness! We're all right there with him. So count on seeing a lot more Stars concepts in the near future, such as this great one from Joseph Loretz. It's a unique mix of retro and modern elements. The logo could use a little bit of polish but I think the jersey itself is there!
