Dallas Stars Sweater Needs a Makeover

I say keep the black as a third jersey and use the Texas logo . I like the original Stars jersey (1995-1998), but make the base color green with the black, gold, white. Its too bad the organization is too poor to get a new jersey, because I would buy one.

Agree with Christopher…I have always thought the “Texas D” logo would look great enlarged and on a dark green jersey. Also, hello everyone, longtime reader but just registered today.

The problem with the “DALLAS” jerseys is that unless they have a player on them they are one of the worst jerseys in the league, they look alot better with somebody on them. So in terms of buying one, I would probably only get one of the white jerseys, especially since I own every other Stars jersey, yes that includes the “Mooterus”.

In terms of the team wearing the jerseys, I don’t care as much although I would like to see some type of green jersey with the texas logo like some have mentioned.

i like how clean-cut the jerseys are now, and to me, very classy. the more colors and patterns, the more it looks like a soccer jersey. and i hate soccer.

I’ve always liked the “Star” design. I never was a big fan of the two “DALLAS” sweaters just because plain and they look like a long sleeved basketball jerseys which is why I bought a last years away/ this years third sweater.

I think it would be pretty cool to go back to dark green with bigger dark gold stripes and some black. With the primary logo and the Texas logo on the shoulders

The current home jersies and the old road blacks from the 90’s are my favorite looks. I like the simplicity and the black.

And the Mooterus was so tacky it was actually kind if cool. Sean Avery would have loved it.

Go back to those with slight updates! those are real sweaters. But in regards to putting a star in a circle…..doesnt that make it a pentagram? lol JW

I also have all 3 too and the home star shaped one. I can’t afford to buy any more for a while.

the use of a "round’ logo in that the odd shape of the lettering and the star makes it more difficult to work with, but it would make a better merch sweater than everyday hockey sweater, for me. I think that the new “tailored” fit jerseys are more likely to be worn outside the rink and there are some elements of the “DALLAS” design that make them easier to wear just for the sake of wearing.

I liked the “top-drop” star design because it was a departure from the usual and an obvious fit for this team. I don’t know what you can do with the logo, but I agree that the D/TX logo from the shoulder patch should get a shot as the crest on a third or something. Maybe try to mimic the N* with a D and putting the star at the top of the vertical … but that might look like a DISD or DART logo.

Oh well, at least we are getting a couple of new goalie masks to look at. Kari’s is great. I’ll admit I prefer artwork that makes sense for the city and the team, and not a big fan of using cartoon characters and such. But the Clint Eastwood design works – save maybe the “unforgiven” one that looks like a Dallas Freddy Krueger.

Not trying to spam you all, but it is a cool tool to try out some ideas. It’s even more fun than making Kings, Rangers and Caps jerseys with “BAUER” and “24” on them.

I have a TON of time (being in college and on summer) so I’m going to make jerseys and upload them here for votes on best. Bueno?

But the Home Jerseys have GOT TO GO!!!!!

the old “cog” Oilers alternate logo (but might actually make sense becuase it doesn’t for Edmonton) with the star alone. The problem is that he name and the logo are difficult to separate without looking like the Astros.

I like ‘em. Yeah they may be a bit on the boring side, but really that’s fine.

I do wish there was a green version somewhere in the mix.. but I’m also fine with a black jersey.. when you think about it, how many teams in the NHL have black as a base home jersey color (not secondary like say Carolina, Chicago or San Jose)

Ducks, Kings, Lightning, Bruins, Pens…

Compare that to teams who primary red (or a shade of it) at home: Hawks, Wings, Avs, Habs, Sens, Caps, Flames, Canes, Devils, Coyotes, Wild…

And then the rest pretty much wear blue (or again a shade of it)

Green would be nice and different, but black really isn’t that bad a pick either.

I think that the black jersey is good, white is not.

I thank god none of you fickle people are in charge of what the Stars wear.

And I love how anyone who gets their panties in a twist over the new look completely overlooks the fact it’s a throwback to the sweaters the original Dallas Texans wore back in the 60’s.

At least this is the internet and polls have no bearing in the real world.

Love the current jerseys. And I have a Mooterus too :(

There’s nothing more intimidating than black.
