Stars, Here's How You Fix It
Tuesday · Oct 2 · 2007 | 12:52 PM PDTNow that I'm posting the ninth part of this series, I think I should note that, by and large, I'm a big fan of all the new Rbk EDGE jerseys so don't let the fact that I'm posting so-called "fixes" make you think otherwise. I just think it makes for an interesting feature to ponder what might have been.
That said, let's see what we can do about the Dallas Stars. I think the home black jersey — which now features the city name as its crest — is very cool and unique. I like it if only because no one else has done it.
I think this is probably the easiest and most obvious fix — essentially the white jersey in black.
It uses the primary logo on the crest and the secondary logos on the shoulders along with a bit of piping at the bottom of the sweater. The current black jersey has the word "DALLAS" arched above the jersey number on the front and the primary logo on the shoulders. It's also solid black all the way to the bottom.
Personally, I like the real one better.
Moving along, we have a completely different design. Imagine more green and more apparent striping.
Obviously that's not a home-and-away set as neither is white, but it would make a good home-and-alternate set. While I do like the new black jerseys, I was always a fan of the Stars wearing green. Seems like teams aren't liking that much these days as the Wild also recently ditched their green sweaters.
So if green's not your thing, what about gold?
While it's a decent concept, I don't think it would translate well to a uniform. I can't imagine that looking very good on the ice.
How do you feel about it? Do the Stars need to rethink their new duds? Or will keeping the jerseys make them look like studs? Har.
Coming up: Toronto Maple Leafs.

You cant have green home jerseys under new NHL regulations. Only black, blue, or red

Almost...San Jose has teal, which is like the bastard child of blue and green.
Did the guy who created the Oakland A's jerseys in the 1970s get out of the loony bin and invent that bottom set of Stars jerseys????
