Source - http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/The-5-best-and-5-worst-NHL-jerseys-of-the-last-d?urn=nhl,200390

When these third jerseys debuted in 2003, the Stars offered the following justification for the look:

"The new logo depicts a constellation of individual stars aligning to form an unstoppable force of nature, a charging bull. Get it? A constellation of stars aligning to form an unstoppable force?"

That celestial reasoning did nothing for most Stars fans, whose intense loathing of the jerseys was immediate.

But the reason they're the second-worst jersey of the last decade is simple: It's because at no point during the market research for this new sweater did the Stars realize their logo was a diagram of the female reproductive organs, from the uterus to the fallopian tubes. Needless to say, the fans did.


and is it really that bad.......?





Yep

Because the other two suck









I actually quite like the Dallas ones, not a patch on the latest Bruins one though

i just typed my details in to see how much it would cost. they charge the international handling fee when you order so it works out to about £60. for a fucking cap!

Yeah it's like $45 for shipping

I'm struggling to find it anywhere else, my suggestion is to fly to New York & visit the NHL Store

I paid about £50 import tax on my new skates, they were about $350
