I got a local gear company here in Ottawa to make some sublimated jerseys I designed. I wanted some new jerseys to use for pickup hockey (always need a white and a dark jersey) and I thought it would be cool to get something nice and unique. I had a bunch of ideas and themes in mind but just settled with a Stars theme since I love em so much.
Home: My favourite logo is this one but I always loved the beveled aspect of our current logo (also the old Texas Stars logo). I also figured since the jerseys would be sublimated, why not have fun with some gradients and throw in a star pattern to add a bit of depth, oh and a galaxy. I really wanted to do ‘gold’ dots but kept Tom Gaglardi in mind for that.
Away: I personally loved the Mooterus logo and always liked the idea of having it on either of our greens (oppose to black and red!!!). I found an image on google of this unique Mooterus logo that had the horns flipped and a few other tweaks that I thought properly optimized the logo—so went with that. It was important to keep it white so I had to keep it pretty simple; settled with some subtle gray star patterns on the waist and on the shoulders. Opted for no shoulder patch on this one.
Went with Modano on both jerseys cus hes just my all time fav, and put on the C for fun. These jerseys were suppose to be fully sublimated (printed on the material) but the company surprised me and actually stitched all the patches, which really made my day. Hope you guys enjoy em, I dont even want to play in them now.

Damn these are fucking sick. Great job!
Ok, how much 👀
I’d sell a viable organ for the Mooterus one. Great job!
How do we order that mooterus? Almost dont care about cost.
Custom Gear does some really nice work.
Any chance to get one of the blanks? This would make for a really fun project jersey.
What’s the company????
I love the use Modano, and frankly I think the C works great. The jersey arms with the stars on them remind me of 2007 all star game which of course he didn’t make but was captain of the team at that time.
Side Story- I was at the Blackhawks game that he was injured in and I think I may have been one of the only people to actually see what happened. He was flying around in warmups doing some puck handling and shooting, and then while at full speed an errant puck got caught under his skate blade as he was headed straight towards the side boards. He slammed into them so hard…I don’t know if he even knew what had happened but he was my favorite so I watched him anytime he was in town. I was absolutely devastated because not only of my crazy superstitions that it was somehow my fault (lol) but also I knew it was a bad injury and he would miss his hometown all-star game. Makes me sad even thinking about it now. I almost think that injury is when his decline really started.
TL;DR- I saw the Modano injury during warmups that kept him out of the Dallas All Star game and it still haunts me.
Also I would like to buy those as well. Fantastic work!!
