Post #89 - Dallas Stars "Home on the Range"

Another week, another set of jerseys. This time it's the Dallas Stars.

YouTube

Home, Away & Third: You will love it or hate it, but one of the biggest features of these three jerseys is the fact that the color sequence on the logos perfectly matches that of the sleeve and hem stripes. I think the home and away are sharp and classy and while the yellow is something you probably wouldn't want to see game in and game out, it's actually not all that bad looking, especially as a third.




Alternate: The first alternate is a modernized throwback to the classic star-design jerseys. What will probably stand out the most is the removal of a traditional logo in lieu of a wordmark and number. This is a reference to the much-maligned early Reebok-era Stars' jerseys, though I think it works incredibly well on this design. Look closer and you'll notice a subtle star behind the number on the chest. The lower half of the torso and sleeves also features a textured pattern that darkens the green just a bit to give the jersey slight contrast.


Alternate: Return of the Mooterus!!! I absolutely hate the black and neon Stars jerseys, but I wanted to try my hand at combining the obnoxious neon green with one of the most hated logos in NHL history. This jersey is wild, off the wall and nowhere in the realm of traditional, but the tri-tone green and futuristic design... somehow... works. No lie, if this was a real jersey I would buy it without hesitation just for the novelty of it.



Alternate: Finally, after a trip into the bizarre and outlandish, we crash back to Earth with a faux-back traditional-style jersey. The "D-STARS" logo is edited to fit perfectly as a chest-striped style design and even more interesting, but impossible to really take not of, is the shoulder logo. It's the Stars' Texas logo, modified to have a stitching pattern that resembles the Texas state flag, and, if you look closely, the textured pattern looks like a dry river bed.

Post #43 - Dallas Stars Part 2 of 2

Part 2 for the Dallas Stars brings me to my final set in my quest to redesign the NHL.

Home & Away: The main uniforms in this set keep with a traditional theme while introducing more modern numbers and letters.

Alternate: The alternate jersey, like many jerseys I have posted on here throughout this project, is another older design of mine, modified and touched up to be a bit cleaner. If there was ever a jersey that screamed "Stars," this is it. The uniform features similar traditional striping as the home and away while large stars overlay the gradient edges. Also, a "STARS" wordmark slants from the top left to bottom right of the jersey.

Have a look and be sure to rate the set and leave some comments. Thanks.

Post #42 - Dallas Stars Part 1 of 2

And the final team, the Dallas Stars part 1 of 2.

Home & Away: This year the Dallas Stars rebranded themselves with new logos and a new color scheme of white, green and black. While silver is in their scheme, it only makes an appearance in their logos. While I actually do like the new look of the Stars (though their previous set left a lot to be desired), I wanted to bring the Stars back to their origins with primarily green, gold and white jerseys. The primary jerseys are an incredibly simplistic design of big, bold stripes on the sleeves and hem. The previous Stars logo (save for "DALLAS") acts as the main crest while an altered version of their new roundel logo adorns the shoulders.

Alternate: Starting in 1997 (and through 2006) the Stars introduced a star-themed template that I have decided to bring back in my own way. The "DALLAS" wordmark (seen on their 2007-13 jerseys) now becomes the primary mark on the front of the jersey, just above the player's number.

Have a look and be sure to rate the set and leave some comments. Thanks.
