Just wondering if anyone knows, off hand, if any of the original 6 teams added black or any other colors to their uniforms since their start? I kind of remember some of them fooling around with stripe size and layout.

The only teams I can remember altering their uniforms dramatically were in periods of suckage...ie: the Islanders, Kings, Canucks, Penguins etc. Although I think the Penguins have had a few changes even when successful.

It seams to me Detroit even had a long period of being terrible in the late 70's 80's before they started to draft guys like Yzerman and Lidstrom. I don't remember much fooling around with their uniforms.

How about... instead of wasting dollars figuring out ways to come up with a new jersey in a cash grab - invest more in time effort and money in winning. Nothing sells like winning. You can't divert my attention from the teams performance buy giving me something else to look at...and I like the retro's. Wish they would bring back the whites.
