We Need More GREEN!!!

As you can probably tell from the colours on this blog, I like the colour green.  So you can see how I would be disappointed that there's only one green jersey in the NHL. It's not even a primary jersey, it's a third jersey.  That's only 15 games out of 1,230 NHL games in a season, that's only 0.012%.  That's terrible!!!

So today's post I am trying to fix that.  This post is the first of my occasional opinion posts (labelled My Thoughts), where I express my point of view on hockey jerseys and logos.

*Note:  The concepts in today's posts are only there as a visual aid, they aren't necessarily what I'd do.


The first team I think needs more green is the Dallas Stars.  Not only would it make them look much better, it would make sense historically.  They wore green for ten years in Dallas (1997-2007), and an additional 24 years in Minnesota (1967-1991).  Good news is that Dallas could be making a big change in 2013-2014, hopefully it's more green.

Dallas' current home jersey coloured green (with logos switched too).

Another team that could use a green home jersey is the Minnesota Wild.  In my opinion, their best home jersey was their 2000-2007 green jersey.  I like their red jersey too, I just think it's better as a third jersey.

Minnesota's 2000-2007 green jersey edgified.

The Vancouver Canucks are a third team that could use more green.  I know they haven't ever had a green jersey, but imagine how good a green third jersey could look.  I think it would look much better than their current third jersey, which I don't like.

An old concept, inspired by the Vancouver Millionaires.

We all know that the New Jersey Devils wear a throwback jersey on St. Patricks day, my question is why don't the Maple Leafs?  They were literally called the St. Pats before they were renamed the Maple Leafs.  It would also be another team wearing green, even if it's only for one game.

This last idea is a bit out there, but I have seen it suggested before.  It's the Anaheim Ducks wearing green and orange.  These colours are supposed to be more duck-like.  Hey I'll listen to any idea if it means more green.

What does everyone else think.  Am I correct or completely nuts?  Did I miss any teams?  Let me know.
