I agree with drew the owner of the stars seemed to stress designing something that was classic NHL like Canadians, leafs, wings, devils etc. I would be stunned if he ended up with something crazy modern like that for the next stars jersey. In any case I would not be upset if the green and gold and perhaps white instead of the black were used as the colors.

Sure hope that isn't the new stars jersey as like a previous poster said it would be at the bottom of the league along with the kings in my opinion.

I agree with all the posts regarding the Flames swapping the alternative sweaters for the everyday Home and Away, like Edmonton did last year. Fans are buying those retro jerseys nearly three-to-one over the goofy Canada/Alberta Flag sweaters, they actually sold out at one point this year when the lockout finished and everyone got 50% on all merchandise at the Flames fanatic. The players also seem to play much better in the retro’s and most stock photos of the players on various sites have them appearing more often than not, in the retro’s over the everyday ones as well. Also the Red Gloves and Helmets that go along with them are just sick!!!!

Absolutely LOVE the Prince Albert jerseys and logos.

The template on the new Raiders' sweater almost resembles the template the Sabres used for the Slug jerseys. I don't think this is the route the Stars go. From what has been said (the timeless, original six, classic look) I think that it will have more horizontal stripes and be a lot less busy.

I am really quite impressed with what the Rivermen have come up with. The squiggly lines to me are one of those very rare exceptions where strange striping actually look quite nice. As for the Raiders, I am not impressed. I tip my hat to them for going green, no pun intended :p but, they could have done much better. The Raiders' last set was far better and they had two black jerseys and of course a white road. If they wanted to go green, they should have brought back those early 90s Northstar-based uniforms instead.

@Drew Tom Glagardi? I'm assuming he's a part of the Stars' marketing staff or something? And, by classic look, did he mean, if you know his intentions, Stars-classic (as in resembling their older sweaters), or classic as in classic in general (Canadiens, Rangers, anything 20's-70's-esque)?

I noticed that the new Prince Albert Raiders jerseys feature the Reebok practice jersey collar, which makes me believe the jerseys are largely of the newer Reebok practice jersey template, which is rather odd if you ask me. just compare these new PA Raiders jerseys to the modern NHL Reebok practice jersey.

I actually think the New Rivermen's logo looks great! I am impressed for once. The Jersey looks good too. I am glad they have the straight horizontal lines on the shoulders. For some reason I am not minding the squigley lines, I think because they are consistent across the hem, unlike I think the Fisherman's jersey and other's, replicating water.(If I remember right)
As for the PA jerseys, definitely not a good look. I really hope these are not similar to a new Stars jersey. That would be horrible!! and would put the Stars down to the bottom of the league in terms of jersey's!

Finally two teams that got it right. The Rivermen went with a change but didn't go drastic, kept it classy, and aesthetically pleasing. Love the white jersey of the Raiders. Very cool logo too.

That new jersey probably won't last long, to me it emulates the new fisherman Isles jerseys.

I think with the Rivermen moving to one of the lowest minor pro circuits, they could pretty much do anything and get away with it. Nothing more than an expanded shoulder patch in my view. As far as the potential new Stars uni, I have to give this one a thumbs down. Hockey is about tradition, and all the vertical sleeve lines with heavy gold presence are busy and not something that's going to hold over time. Look to this being 'downgraded' at some point when nobody is running stripes up their sleeves. Although they may have copied the Leaf's colors, you have to hand it to the Lightening; they went with simple, clean and timeless. This new uniform is busy, choppy and will look Mickey Mouse in 5 years. Fail.

The Rivermen jerseys are real nice. I'm glad that that creative hockey jersey designs aren't dead, there's still hope. Other than the small resemblance to...*shudder*...the Fisherman...I think it is an overall good jersey. Here's to more jerseys like this in the NHL.

Holy crap I love the Raiders' new sweater. The template is great, the colors are amazing (green/black/gold are my favorite colors). Overall, I would like it a bit better if the sleeves extended as shoulder yokes. Other than that, it's a pretty awesome jersey, I'd love it if these were the new Stars jerseys.

Looks like the new collar on the Raiders kit was taken from the updated NHL practice jersey templates we saw in 2012. Currently there's a blank spot in the center where the NHL shield would go for the Dallas jersey.
