Black with those jerseys worked, I've never liked black on any others we've had but man those 04 jerseys were beauties. God those jerseys were amazing, why did they scrap them again? Our current set is junk

Whoops. For some reason I thought the redesign was more radical. Anyway, at least the Stars uniforms aren't mostly black anymore.

This site is way more comprehensive and focuses on the entire strip rather than just the logo, but is worth a look anyway.

I still can't get over how beautiful those jerseys are. I have one signed by Jordie and Jamie Benn hanging in my closet, yet the pictures still stun me

The 2004 black flaming C is one of my favorite jerseys. Black shouldn't always be out of the picture.

Agreed. On the other hand, I think their secondary logo is fantastic. They should go with it permanently.

The Senators have crashed and burned from a great look.

Imagine this on the ice today:

The triangle is filler, hockey sticks and pucks are usually cheats, and the stick itself is too much of a focus.

Yet still... with all of that, it manages to be better than their primary.

The triangle represents the "Research Triangle" in the Raleigh-Durham region.

I like the use of the stick in this logo because it isn't just a case of "here's an animal holding a hockey stick because we're a hockey team named after that animal".

Oh cool, I never knew the triangle had any meaning besides 'this looks better'

And I just played around with the stick. A bit thinner and in black looks a lot better. It was just bugging be being such a huge focus.

But you're right, most of the irritation comes from logos of animals literally just playing the sport they're representing.

I want to see the top two jerseys make a comeback (could go either way where the green jersey is concerned). I find the new ones kind of boring.

Phoenix is wearing the second one (yes, Phoenix, as it will be the original Phoenix secondary logo on the shoulders) on March 5th vs Vancouver.
