The Jersey History of the Stars, North Stars, Seals and Barons

[@DARK24-7]

Can not beat the old North Stars jersey,what a nice look!!!

[@Halfhoff]

Especially in white!

[@brianbachmeier34]

Agreed. What a shame it was never revised in some capacity.

[@mikekole]

The Barons... my first NHL game, hosting the great Montreal Canadiens at the Richfield Coliseum. Dennis Maruk, Gilles Meloche, and yeah Al MacAdam. Good times! I felt like they bailed too soon, but the Gunds weren't willing to keep the bleeding going. The Blizzard of '78 really hurt attendance, and Richfield was the middle of nowhere. Nick Mileti's arena between Cleveland and Akron was 75 years ahead of it's time. The feeling in Cleveland has long been that its chance for the NHL died when the Blue Jackets arrived. There was hope when the IHL Lumberjacks moved back downtown from Richfield to Gund Arena in 1994, but it never rose above wishful thinking- not even to hot rumor.

[@Rat_Phinque]

I was at game #1, Barons vs. the Kings. I still have the Certificate of Attendance.

[@Nickleblanc41]

We need a Sharks and Wild doing a Seals-North Stars throwback game.

[@BroncoKnight34]

Inject it straight into my veins!

[@morganedwards3966]

The North Stars didn't eliminate all references to "North" when they changed their uniforms in 1992. The "A" on the "ST^RS" logo doubles as an arrow pointing north. The shift to black was to capitalize on the merchandise sales of the L.A. Kings, not to pave the way for a potential move south.

[@h2ofield]

Two thumbs up! There was a pre-season '67 jersey for the Seals that had "Seals" rounded over a smaller version of the "O". North Stars too , had a pre-season '67 only jersey.

[@PancakesAndHammers2426]

Every Minnesota North Stars jersey is a gem.

[@893160007]

Pancakes and Hammers this is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but I wish that the NHL forced relocated teams to rebrand. The North Stars name and brand is so much better than the Wild. And even though Dallas now has a connection to the Stars name they didn't in 1995(???) and could have forged a new identity for themselves.

[@SaskStarsFan]

Love the collection!! Thought I would give some context to the logos and their material used! First the 93-94 CCM Vintage jersey you have is not actually faithful reproduction, when CCM made it for the Stars 25th anniversary they used the wrong green (should be Kelly green) and the stripes were the wrong size. The 93-94 jerseys are literally the North Stars jerseys with Texas patches for one year then changed the green and stripping. And in the 90's the NHL had a few manufactures making replica jerseys, Starter was considered the cheapest option like fanatics today. Next was pro player which was an option between Starter and CCM. CCM was the best Replica option, but the 90's CCM replica Stars jerseys had a less saturated Star colour. When Dallas released their 3rd jersey in 1997 (Green Star Design) the CCM Replica logos for 3rds were made more like the Authentic logo that's why it was more shiny. But in 1999-2000 when Dallas went with the star design full time CCM started making the Star plain again on both the white and dark. This stayed the same when CCM rebranded the darks as Koho. So the difference in logos is all based on the year it was made. I personally like my Authentics now but I own starter, pro player and CCM Replicas in all of the Stars late 90 and early 2000 styles. Little background on why they look different and feel different. Also... ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY MOOTERUS!!!

[@777RockNRollin]

The Minnesota North Stars "Green" road jersey long ago ! AWESOME UNIFORM ! Watching the TROTTIER Penguins bench insult Brian Bellows in the Jersey : EPIC !! THAT'S HOCKEY !

[@JP_HKY_777]

The North Stars Jerseys are definitely one of my favourite joyful all time. I do intend to purchase one sooner rather than later.

[@ryanbrown3309]

The classic Mooterus LOL Their Winter Classic jersey is a beauty! Would love for that to be their third.

[@FalseCredential]

Speaking of the secondary Texas logo with the star, what if every team did a "State of Hockey" jersey (Provinces of Hockey?). Like have the logo on the front be the home state of the team, with their primary logo centered on their city. Could be something different to do and would be a fun brand campaign for the NHL

[@FischerFan]

That could be something worth considering; but then you run into conflict with states like New York, Pennsylvania, California, and Florida along with the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Alberta....all of whom have more than one NHL team.

[@paulofearghail9408]

I agree that the early North Stars sweaters were awesome. In fact, I was a high school hockey player in Massachusetts around that same time, and our town's name started with "North." Our school colors were red and white (football, basketball, etc.). Having a hockey team was new at our school, and we were able to buck the traditional school team name (which was too lame to repeat here); we called ourselves the "North Stars." We managed to get awesome uniforms with red jerseys trimmed with white and black, together with black pants. But the best part was that we had a similar logo on the front with the capital "N" topped with a star. We had, by far, the sharpest kit in our league.

[@averybarrington-magee2828]

The star trim is my favourite I got the green one today

[@jsullivan5823]

Good afternoon from the east coast, thanks again man!

[@daved1535]

The North Stars actually added black to the white jersey in 1981 they added black to the green jersey in 1988

[@michaelleroy9281]

The North Stars added black on the white jerseys for 1981-82 on the green jerseys 1988-89

[@Ramuh.]

This was a really good one! So much history crammed into one video! I admit I didn't mind the "college" jersey, but then again I think I always love it when teams at least try something different.

[@michaelleroy9281]

The North Stars had that double stripe at the bottom of the jerseys 1974- 78

[@jryersonsmith]

Never understood why they went with "The Dallas Stars" and not "The Dallas Lone Stars" when they chose not to be the "North Stars". Lone Stars for Texas seems very appropriate to me.

[@leandroramos3041]

Maybe because the name "Lone Stars" would suggest that the team has little to no fans or something like that. But I'm sure it was discussed, it would be a clever name.

[@trcnts]

@@leandroramos3041 because its a team sport and that would make everyone in the team a lone star

[@gamergod3378]

That white star pattern jersey is screaming jere lehtinen

[@CaretakerWanted]

My physics teacher used to talk to me about being little and going to see the Seals play. Basically lost every time he went but it's awesome to hear that piece of history he witnessed.

[@basketballboy1173]

Hello, Shannon, from Waco, TX. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!

[@habguy822]

At first I hated the look of the current rebranded Dallas jerseys but they have since grown on me and are now one of my favourite jerseys. I have a Dallas Stars t-shirt and it's one of my favourite shirts I have so far. That logo is just so good.

[@Khead87]

Thanks for this video series, I went out and found a black Minnesota Stars (Listed as Dallas) from the early 90s CCM jersey, got the 75th Anniversary patch and the North Stars 25th Anniversary patch all three items added up to about 75 bucks with shipping, Even found a provider in Minnesota who produces the numbers and name plates if I want to take it to that level.

[@craigdickens4148]

I loved the Texas horn jersey, got one myself. Looking forward to Detroit Red Wings tomorrow.

[@MRTZ1897]

I love our current green jersey's and I wouldn't actually want to change them, but I think the original Dallas Stars jersey's are still my favourites out of all of them. I also want those designs to be our third jerseys next season!

[@simonmeikle9037]

I've been hoping for the 94-99 black jersey design as the Dallas 3rd since the redesign. I think it would look awesome with the new logo, and either the OG green or the new green would be good. They could even add the redesigned Texas logo on the shoulder

[@r.joshuareynolds2449]

Keep these coming. Love your content!

[@dylanwynkoop4578]

I wish the Blue Jackets would do a Barons throwback, that Jersey is fantastic. It would be like Colorado’s Rockies throwback.

[@JayDawg83]

That Cleveland Barons jersey is from 503 Sports, out of Lake Oswego, Oregon. I have 4 custom Barons jerseys.

[@frame3139]

North Stars jersey is sick

[@mikekole]

FWIW, changing the branding to match the baseball and football teams worked out pretty well for the Penguins.

[@williamlomica7469]

I was going to make a similar comment. Steelers/Pirates/Penguins; Minnesota Vikings and Lakers; Seattle Seahawks & Mariners. Municipal colors was fairly common.

[@williamlomica7469]

And Knicks/Mets/Islanders

[@KevinWindsor1971]

The first Pittsburgh pro team to wear black&gold was the original NHL team in the 1920's the Pirates. This created a precedent when the Boston Bruins tried to block the Penguins from changing their colors in the late '70's.

[@KevinWindsor1971]

The change to the Seals colors was because they were owned at the time by Charlie O. Finley who also owned the A's. The official names he gave for the colors are Kelly Green, Ft. Knox Gold, and Wedding Gown White. This is the same man who tried to introduce orange painted baseballs into the MLB. He did sucessfully get the American League to adopt the designated hitter.

[@dababy8007]

I miss the star jerseys

[@BrettHornby]

Still have to wonder what inspired the Taurus The Bull jersey? Minnesota and Dallas has a nice collection outside of that.

[@alexlynch9316]

I got a modano north stars on ebay for like $40 lol. Looks good and had tags

[@G7M9W]

I really wish there were a way for the Minnesota North Stars to return. Such a great team name and classic logo and colors.

[@G7M9W]

@Paul WT Totally agree. And despite the name not being the greatest, the Wild have an excellent logo.

[@brianbachmeier34]

Agree. I respect the Wild and the fan base but Minnesota North Stars with that iconic logo would be great to see again.

[@G7M9W]

@@brianbachmeier34 The Wild logo is excellent too, so making it the main logo with the classic N as a shoulder logo would work, or vice versa.

[@michaelleroy9281]

I wish I had all those jerseys

[@scarecrowninja]

North Stars green with the black are my favorite, which I own.

[@brianbachmeier34]

Same. I have a Mike Modano in white and green.

[@83Henno]

I wish they never left those second set of jerseys after they moved to Dallas. Those are such a classic clean jersey

[@odsonic]

1205 Jersey is one of the best hockey jerseys ever ..I'd say top 10

[@666kingdrummer]

As Heartbreaking as it is, I don't think the Wild can actually use the North Stars jersey, because i'm pretty sure when they moved to Dallas they took the rights to those jerseys/logos with them. So, they'd have to get permission from Dallas.

[@daved1535]

It is true. Dallas does have the rights to the North Stars jerseys, however a few years ago the Wild played a outdoor game versus the Blackhawks and they used the North Stars jerseys in the alumni game. Not sure if it's true but I heard the Wild got in trouble for that

[@brianbachmeier34]

It would be so great to see the North Stars name to return and play in the Excel Energy Center.

[@CheapSeatsSports]

The stars have my favorite colors outside of the Wild, I'd love if Seattle did something similar color wise.

[@rohinkartik-narayan7535]

I love the current Dallas jerseys but for some reason the logo always reminds me of a shuriken

[@cowboyd5673]

I love our current logo and jersey set. That said, I’d love it even more if they made the current home the Third and made the Winter Classic the full time home jersey, with a white away version added to match.

[@havokan45]

I have the same Minnesota Stars black jersey and get that too no it's Dallas.then i tell them it don't have the Texzas shoulder patch logo. . my Senior year of High School was when they changed to Black Stars jersey . I got a Stars and Habs Jerseys on my class Senior trip Skiing in Vermont for 3 days a day to visit Montreal .

[@FirstNameLastName-vt3hu]

The Dallas Green Jersey shaped like a star is probably slightly different because the year they won the cup it was actually their third jersey that season. They replaced the white jersey the next season too match the green one so I'm guessing they tweaked it for greed basically

[@willdietzler1926]

I also hated the Stars rebrand before they moved to Dallas. They wear those jerseys in the scene in the first Mighty Ducks movie where the team goes to a game and gets some “great” acting in a cameo from Mike Modano.

[@adawg1125]

the Modano and the other star were also wearing the stars jersey without the north on it in mighty ducks.

[@bigjohn08865]

That Barons logo is awesome. I wish the Indians MLB team had considered changing their name to the Barons and adopting that logo.

[@j.nicolosi6647]

That Stadium jersey with the big D is 🔥🔥🔥 -Avs fan

[@r.joshuareynolds2449]

I was born in Cleveland in 1989. So I only got to see the Lumberjacks as a kid.

[@Jake_Broer]

I'd love to see a wild jersey that uses the North Stars color scheme but with a modified (or just straight up) version of the wordmark that was on their 3rds. I think it'd look sick

[@patrickstar2750]

The seals did not switch from California to Oakland after their first season. They switched in the middle of their first season from the c to the o.

[@johnweaver6572]

@thehockeyguy do you think the Kraken be the name of the Seattle NHL team

[@UserName-ts3sp]

i don’t think cleveland’s bid would be realistic because there’s 3 teams within 3 hour drives... honestly it would be cool if the jackets (a preseason game in cleveland) or monsters would do a barons night

[@andrewelliott1592]

I really would like to see a jersey history for the Canes soon!

[@nyrangersfan22]

Seals had some pretty cool jersey, not gonna lie

[@leftywith4strings201]

NY Rangers Fan 22 the originals were pretty good, but I feel like every rebrand just got worse. Especially the final teal ones.

[@donkey1151]

Master of 4 Strings I like the teal the most

[@Peyethon]

I think the Stars 3rd jersey should have a green winter classic logo but on a black background.

[@83Henno]

That would be great. They need a black addition for a third

[@roblake9856]

That was fun! Thank you! What a collection. Correction: The 1999 Cup team actually wore the previous white home jerseys (see video: Langenbrunner's goal vs Avalanche - 1999 PO, WCF, game 7). It wasn't until the next season that the white "star pattern" jersey emerged as the match to the dark one. Sure miss Thorne/Clement broadcasts, especially Thorne.

[@gamergod3378]

Even though that bland wordmark jersey is bland, i still think it looks somewhat decent.

[@tuckerfamily8157]

Shannon what you think about the blackout Jersey

[@boboike4046]

You stated the mooterus jersey you had was a replica and the one you got from Ben was an authentic, is the authentic koho or what brand?

[@collectorscorner1339]

Shannon you should get a name on the university stars jersey they look a lot better

[@ScottsThoughts]

I really want the Dallas Stars third to be their Winter Classic jersey.

[@raheemgaines3518]

[@Underdogbassist]

Was Shannon a fan of the stars back when they were in Minnesota as well?

[@prizm2807]

Yeah he was, hes made videos about why just type In his name and Dallas stars and it's in one if them. Have a good day brother

[@smallville316619]

He literally says he was in this video.

[@elephantrange]

NHL Cleveland Barons only failed because they carried the legacy of a great AHL franchise, and because they didn't take cue from the (relative) success of the Cleveland Crusaders and keep the damn show downtown at the Arena. Cleveland was a downtown town at that point, and Richfield Coliseum was in outer space. The fans were downtown.

[@JHockeyFan]

Victory Green Dallas home jerseys are the best. Whites are pretty sharp too

[@AweShiyte]

Is anyone gonna point out how the current Stars jerseys look like Blackhawks jersey designs in green?

[@RichardCourtney-]

Oakland look was so Oooo...."California Floating Carrots" I'm guessing as a tribute to the agricultural communities. Northstars was a legit major logo. Miss that.

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

Ahhh yes, the iconic Dallas Moo-terus jersey. A cow constellation in the shape of a uterus. Beyond revolting. F'n Dallas. Not only did they steal the North Stars (and in the process killed a brilliant team name, logo, and color scheme), but they then later stole the red, green, and gold from the Wild.

[@FischerFan]

The Oakland Seals become the California Golden Seals when Charlie Finlay takes ownership of the team in 1970. He wanted the hockey team to convey the same flamboyance of the A's. He could build a championship baseball team, but he knew absolutely nothing about hockey. Allow me to commend you on the mercy you showed for the Seals by not mentioning the hideous white figure skates the players were forced to wear with the green & gold unis.

[@michaelleroy9281]

He had to look up when the Seals went green and gold, I knew that, 1970
