While we're on the subject of livestock...
Here's the infamous third jersey for the Dallas Stars, known affectionately as the "
Mooterus". The concept came about because the Stars had the idea to incorporate the constellation Taurus into a jersey, but make sure that it
makes sense. Well it didn't help much for the Stars because fans and even players hated the jersey. The Stars have always had a strong identity with their unique
star shaped patterns but this choice was bad. I guess because they wanted to be clever. They must have thought a bull head with stars inside and a shooting star coming across the left horn would work out well right? I mean there are a lot of cattle ranches in Texas after all. But wait, where is the green? The black landscape gives it a dull look, accented with swooshing stripes of red, green and a slight yellow. The Stars, since their days in Minnesota, have been green and white but the decision to only use green on the sleeves and border proved their arrogance towards the team's history. And then the Stars logo is placed over top of the ugly red stripe pattern towards the wrist, um why? Just a total mess if you ask me.
My final thoughts: NHL teams insistence on designing alternate jerseys has led to plenty of terrible choices, including this one. The fact that they didn't realize the jersey had a logo that looked like a part of the female anatomy goes to show how smart the people were behind its approval.
