In the final moments of the event, the Stars introduced a new logo, a silver D with a star behind it with a green outline. Dallas also unveiled the team's uniforms for the 2013-14 season. Modeling the jerseys were Stars center Jamie Benn, a 2012 NHL All-Star, and franchise icon Mike Modano, who finished his career with more points than any American-born player in League history.

The look was well received by the 2,400 in attendance and was a big hit with Benn and Modano.
"I think they look great. They're sharp and it's an honor putting on a new jersey," Benn said. "It's pretty unique. Like we talked about, it was a different color. It's our own color, Victory Green. I think it's going to look sharp out there on the ice."
Benn admitted neither he nor any of his teammates had input about the new look, but Modano, who works in the Dallas front office as a special adviser, did hold some sway over the final design. And he had one simple request: That green remain a part of the club's look.
"I came from Minnesota and it [that color] is just something people recognize. Over the years, we got away from that," Modano said. "It's a good color. It's different. Obviously, no one has it (in the NHL), and that's the way it was with the North Stars. Green was kind of unique and different.
"It shows well on TV. It pops good on the white ice. When you see it, you know it's us."
