Dallas Stars "Victory Green" - The ugliest color in the NHL

[Sports2]

you really woke up yesterday and chose violence. its a fine color bud- watch it.

 

[Ceremony]

Ugly.

 

[Stubu]

This might be a random thought, but I just saw this Esports hockey thing on NBCSN, and it showed some Stars fans completely dressed in Stars merchandise: hats, jerseys, the works. And it just looked offensive. The blue-ish hue on the light green makes it look like a wannabe metallic type green except it's not. It's not rich, it's not a pastel, it's nothing. It's too bright to be so cold, too cold to be so bright. No-one would buy a car, a house, a sweater, an armchair, wallpaper, anything in that color. Maybe it would work with a touch of gold on it, but no, they dropped that for silver which just further accentuates the coldness and complete lack of 'pop' in the color scheme. Oh and that logo, what a crime against humanity. It's like a generic 'make a team' design template on an EA sports game.

Are there any Stars fans who actually prefer this look to the 90s look? I think it's obvious they need to (1) change the tone of green (2) bring back the gold (3) drop the D star logo that looks like the submission of your high school's least creative student to a "design a Dallas Stars logo" competition.

A wall of text.

No pic of the jersey.

Fail, my man.

I know i'm in the minory here but i think the North Stars color sheme was/is absolutely hideous. Green and Yellow doesn't fit together . As a matter of fact yellow is allways bad but i guess thats just me since i absolutely hate anything yellow.

You're not the only one. Welcome to the club.

I look at it and I get that damn $5 footlong song in my head.

I really liked them when they were first revealed but I agree that the color scheme hasn't aged as well as I expected. I liked their prior green, and the gold accent colour was a great compliment.

[Jyrki]

I like it :/

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Sorry it isn't red white and/or blue.

 

[auximenes]

The color is good, it's that stupid logo with the d is shit.

I don't like the big D logo either.

This is for sure the best Stars kit. I think they ditched it for being too "gimmicky" though.

I do like the current uniforms, except for their abysmal reverse retro

I'm pretty sure nobody would buy a red, white and blue car or house either. That's a weird barometer.

They're the current uniforms..I thought on a NHL forum people would have a good idea of what it looks like. Note that half the people didn't even read or understand the thread (i.e. the problem isn't *green* the problem is the *shade* of it). But here is the illustration:

It's a green tone that reminds me of a pine car freshener. It's bright but doesn't pop, it is an intentionally cold green.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Dallas just has the worst uniforms in the NHL period. All of them are such an eyesore.

I love how random this thread is. Someone woke up and literally thought "this specific Stars jersey is so ugly I have to talk to people about it."

Thanks! And extra points for the Wunderbaum reference.

I figured this would be a thread about their mascot, Mr. Mucinex.

 

[Sports2]

Regarding the shade of green- iirc the owner wanted to move away from green to red white and blue but the fans obviously wanted to stick with green. He wanted to distance the team from the old and create a new identity so the different shade was a sort of compromise.

 

[John Johnson]

Bro the islanders have the worst color scheme in the NHL. Absolutely brutal to watch their ugly jerseys.

Basically the same as Oilers colours.

 

[Sol]

Basically the same as Oilers colours.

Oilers is a tad better in design. But the islanders are a massive eyesore.

This is one of the dumbest threads I've seen in some time.

As a Stars fan, I would rock the f*** out of this...

Take it from a fan of a team with some ugly jerseys (the Jackets). Your main Stars jerseys are fugly.

This looks better than any Stars jersey I've seen, going all the way back to the North Stars. That thick band of gold makes the green work so much better.

To each their own my man, you gotta see the reverse retro in person. I bought a gamer and it's amazing, that silver logo is gorgeous with the current shade or green. Love everything about it and have since the reveal, but I get it's not for everyone. To me it beats the shit out of the Stars blackout neon jersey.

You just don't like green, to say it is cold and doesn't pop doesn't make sense. Pine car freshener is a deeper darker green like the 90s version, and that doesn't pop I'd agree. It's basically the same as the Whalers were and who doesn't love that? Kelly green/victory green same idea.

Their logo is hideous. They kind of look like an AHL team. I think a green, gold and white scheme would look a lot better.

Combine this sweater

with this logo:

Yeah, how about no. The Wild already have that color scheme for their reverse retros.

Dallas can pirate another teams look. Thanks
