Back in Black

Black is a color that only a few teams where on a regular basis. Some teams where black as their third jerseys, as I hit upon in my last post.

Here's my three favorite black jerseys of all time. It's a little risky because it doesn't always look great, but these sure do.





3. This is a Dallas Star jersey that they wore in the late 90s-early 00s. While it's a little confusing what it is this is constellations that form a bull. It's a pretty cool touch considering the Dallas Stars are Texas's only NHL hockey team. The constellations are pretty sweet too, cause ya know...stars.

Dallas has experimented with black jerseys after this one but none of them were as appealing to the eyes are this one.





2. San Jose's 3rd jerseys are some of the coolest around. While their regular teal is already a fan favorite this black jersey gives the sharks a sleeker look. The black jersey is complimented with teal in the arms and chest crest. The full body shark as opposed to the shark head that is normally on the jerseys is also a great touch.





1. The best black jerseys of all time are none other than the Kings jerseys that they wore in the Wayne Gretzky era. This sweater represented one of the first times that a black jersey was used as a primary jersey (back then dark was the away color). It also helps that Gretzky set some of hockey's more prestigious records while wearing this jersey. I will never be a Kings fan but it's hard to deny how swear these jerseys were.
