Only 5 of the 30 NHL teams wear black as their primary color (Carolina's primary jerseys are red; their black jersey is an alternate like Chicago, San Jose, etc.) Yet, teams with black as their main jersey color have won 3 of the last 5 Stanley Cups and 4 of the last 7 (Tampa Bay wore black when they won in 2004)! And throw in the Cups won by secondary black teams Chicago (2010) and Carolina (06), and that's 6 of the last 7.<br /><br />But, take the timeline back a ways and the edge disappears. From 1973 through 2003, black jersey teams won only 3 titles (the Pens in 1991 and 92 and the Stars in 1999). Plus from 1980 - 1990, teams wearing orange and blue (Islanders and Oilers) won 9 of 11 Cups. That was pure coincidence.Jacob Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245710668553861827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154756678374578057.post-4234286757877990832011-10-27T17:33:00.796-04:002011-10-27T17:33:00.796-04:00Great jersey till the caps are on the defensive!Great jersey till the caps are on the defensive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
