I wish they would get rid of black altogether. Not because I don't like it but more because of superstition.
In my own craziness things started to go downhill when black was added as a stripe in the early ninety's and suddenly we couldn't keep our star players, after years of deep teams and deep playoff runs.
I associate our darkest years with that stupid horse head logo and mostly black uniforms. Things suddenly started to get better when they reintroduced red as the primary color. Even making the cup final in 03/04.
I know I'm nutty and that's mostly coincidental but many superstitions were built from coincidences, like Daryl Sutters L.A. Drives last year.
