Here's a thread stating that there is a change coming. Nothing but speculation about what said change may be...
Ok, yeah I saw those articles but I didn't really see much suggesting they were thinking about North Stars-style jerseys. And agreed on all counts about the garbage tossing.
Why not have them go back to green with gold, white, and black accents. Their original Stars jerseys had a drab, bland green color with dull gold and black.
Go with that and put the Stars logo on it (not North Stars), streamline it with Reebok design, done.
So long as they never use the North Stars logo, I'm fine with it. It's their team, we have the Wild, whatever.

This. Very much this.
Don't get me wrong, I miss the North Stars. They're a part of our history. I still have North Stars jerseys that I sometimes wear to Wild games as a way of honoring the past....same goes for a St. Paul Saints jersey. That said, both teams are dead. Gone. More than enough time has passed that the only link Dallas has to the North Stars is mostly through paper trails and NHL records. If they want to use similar colors, fine. Although they'd be better off building their identity based around their current location as opposed to digging in the past to a time when the team wasn't even a thought in Dallas. But if they want to go that route, then go for it. I wouldn't mind at all.
The only thing I would not support is using the original North Star logo front and center. And I honestly can't see them using it, because it just doesn't fit in with their location or direction. Even if they wanted to go back to their roots, it wouldn't make sense to put a logo that large, representing the "North Star State", on the center of a jersey in Texas.
If they do a logo re-design, it will probably be a star. I mean, Dallas Stars, lone star state...it makes sense.
I don't think the 80's throwback design would work there though. It's cool for the Oilers, Islanders, and Flames...but I just don't see it happening for Dallas. Early 90's sure, but not the pure green and gold.
Apparently Michigan more or less approved a new arena for the Red Wings. There's still some political maneuvering to be done, but both house and senate have approved it by wide margins. Hope the new facility has things in place to make it look like people actually show up to Red Wings games.

What are you talking about?
Every Red Wings game is sold out. There are just a ton of people floating around the concourse areas all the time. The food and drinks are so good there, you can only get them in Detroit. Plus, they have all their amazing guaranteed 5 star prospects doing autographs all the time so people are getting those done. People love the team and all, but Hockeytown U.S.A. is more than just the Red Wings, after all.

Corporations own a lot of the seats in the "TV area" (that is the section you see on TV) and don't entirely use them. Still counts as sold but always makes the building look empty on TV and is a point of contention with Wings fans (or so I've been told).

Looks like you got a bite. I was falling for it until you got to the "5 star prospects" part. Of course, who doesn't want Riley "Superdrunk" Sheahan's autograph?

Yeah...sorry Gopher, I was trying to make a funny.
I'm not gonna lie, the longer this lockout lasts, the more jealous I am of Edmonton getting Justin Schultz. Damnit I wish he would've signed with us. Kid looks to be the real deal.
Edmonton's draft lottery and getting Schultz is disgusting.
Yep, it's a ****ing disgrace.
I think it's unfair towards Ducks that he refused to sign. I mean, sure, we were close to getting him, but I don't like it that some players don't want to thank the team who first spends a draft pick drafting them and then helps them with their development. It's like spending money on seeds to grow an apple tree, then spending enormous amount of time and resources to make sure it will blossom and then, finally, when it's time to collect the fruits and enjoy the benefits, your asshat neighbor steals the apples.
