Sixth in an NHL-MGG 2012-13 Series: Dallas Stars

MeiGray was proud to bring the Dallas Stars back into the fold this season, as the Stars were one of our first NHL team partnerships.

We began working with the Stars in 1998, and they proceeded to win the Stanley Cup in 1998-99. We think we were good luck!!!

We worked with the Stars from 1998-2011. When they went through its reorganization during the 2011-12 season, they did not have a game-worn jersey partner. We re-signed with them, acquired their 2011-12 inventory, and began our program as follows:

Set Dates:

Black Set 1: January 19, 2013 – March 18, 2013
White Set 1: January 20, 2013 – March 9, 2013

Black Set 2: March 23, 2013 – April 27, 2013
White Set 2: March 20, 2013 – April 23, 2013

If Dallas qualifies for the playoffs, they are expected to wear set 2 jerseys.

Nothing better than a photo match, and nothing more rewarding than photo-matching a 36-year-old jersey. Stu Oxenhorn, our MeiGray Vintage Director, just photo-matched Bob Girard's 1975-76 home white No. 26 California Golden Seals game-worn jersey. This is the heavy knit softball style teal, white and gold jersey. Road teals are far more common than home whites, but we matched this one to a publicity photo of Girard, whose arms are sprayed with stick marks and visible repairs.
