0465: Flashing the Badge

We've got a theme-within-a-theme every day this week as we continue with the Dallas Stars concepts. Today, our artists look at rebranding the team with a old west sheriff motif — badges all around. First up is Thierry Dick's take, which incorporates the badge for the captains' letters.


Next, Tom Fulery (I'm sure that's his real name) went with something a bit more shiny.


And lastly, Stephen Griesmer presents a design that isn't overtly sheriff-y, but definitely has that feel about it. He's created a full set of jerseys that includes a rather unique alternate option.

0464: Leaked Logo Mania

After the Dallas Stars accidentally leaked their new logos last week, Icethetics concept artists went straight to work! On Saturday we got a taste of how the new logos could be used, and as we start the second week of nonstop Stars concepts, we get a little more. Dylan Wonka has done a phenomenal job by incorporating elements of the club's original jerseys from 1993.


Meanwhile, Bryan Dyck put together these. I think what we're seeing is that given the new logos and the new color palette, it'll be hard for the Stars to get this wrong. I'm anticipating a great new look for this team next Tuesday!

0463: Team USA

Well, it was hard to work the Dallas Stars into an International Sunday post — so I got as close as I could with the stars and stripes of the United States. Matt McElroy has been working on a series of really great national team sweaters. This is just another example.

0462: Dallas in Winterland

Hope you guys aren't getting tired of the Stars yet. We still have a lot to do. And being this is a Winter Classic Weekend post, I thought I'd share this one from Justin Wiltron. The throwback feels of both sweaters could work should the Stars ever participate in an outdoor game.


BONUS CONCEPT

David Kerr was first to get me a concept featuring the apparent new logos of the Dallas Stars, which leaked on Thursday night. The striping is a little similar to the Blackhawks but overall it's a pretty sharp look. I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar when I'm in Dallas on June 4.

0461: Double Dallas Freak Out

Well this Freak Out Friday falls right in the middle of the double-length Dallas Stars Week. So we've got a couple of Big D oddities. First, Ryan Yuck (that's pronounced YOOK) has this unique design featuring the Dallas Cowboys logo. And yes, cowboy boots with spurs. I wouldn't wear it, but maybe that's just me.


Gary Punzak has gone completely in another direction — going for a red, white and two-tone blue style. It's actually not a terrible look but the logos could use some sprucing up.
