slimcutta Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hey guys, I'm looking to find pics of North Stars from '87-88 wearing their road/green jerseys with the JM patch, and who all wore the C or A during the season. I've found a bunch of gamers - but I really want to see some action pics, and mainly looking for pics of Neal Broten or Brian Bellows to see if they wore the C or A or not with the JM patch, and odds are not, but if Dino happened to wear the A at some point, that would be great to see too. I'm kind of surprised how many cards and photos are out there, and how few show them with the JM patch. I've found some of Giles, McRae, Acton, and some of the other usual suspects who wore letters with the stars, but haven't found any from that year showin them with a letter and the JM patch. Help?

chow_hound Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Dino's white gamer sold through classicauctions and was without "A" or any signs of removal so if he did wear the "A" it was road only. Pretty sure he never had the "A" unless it was a one game wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotiaCygnus Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Tried for the past half an hour to find Broten. No videos, no cards, no dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimcutta Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Tried for the past half an hour to find Broten. No videos, no cards, no dice. Right? Crazyness...thanks for looking, though. C'mon people, contest on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenAnnesRevenge Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I've searched google with every search I can think of, Getty, classicauctions, YouTube and just nothing! I can't believe there isn't a single picture out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jukierules Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Is it entirely possible that they didn't wear that patch for the entire season? Some of the vids I checked out labeled as 87-88 didn't even have the patch visible. It isn't green, but check out the 38 second mark of this one. I hope this helps a little.

jukierules Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 And check this out, an entire game from January of '88 and not a single JM patch in sight. http://youtu.be/78NnAkaAE5w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janne Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 It's a fact that they did not wear the jerseys with JM patches through the entire 87-88 season. These JM patched jerseys actually originate from the previous 86-87 season. The patches were added on the jerseys already in late spring 87 and the same jerseys was recycled for the first half of 87-88 season. I don't have knowledge of the exact date they switched to new jerseys during 87-88 season but as the video above proves they did have new jersey in January 88 for sure. Pretty much all headsots in the 87-88 yearbook have players wearing patched white jerseys. And at least white Basil McRae jersey is out there with an "A".

Nathan Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 John Mariucci died March 24, 1987. November 18, 1987 saw a game with Minnesota at Chicago. The North Stars had their greens, but no patches. Obviously they came off the greens between these two dates. November 21, 1987 saw a game between Boston and Minnesota, with patches on. Minnesota was in their whites. These were off by December 27. As for captains or A's, Craig Hartsburg had the C. He went down in early December, but the patches were off the greens and most likely off the whites by that point. Road games to account for in between here: March 25, 1987 @ Toronto March 27, 1987 @ New Jersey March 29, 1987 @ Washington April 1, 1987 @ Chicago April 4, 1987 @ St. Louis October 8, 1987 @ Buffalo - Minnesota had patches October 12, 1987 @ NY Rangers - Minnesota had patches October 19, 1987 @ Montreal October 22, 1987 @ Quebec October 24, 1987 @ Toronto October 27, 1987 @ St. Louis November 3, 1987 @ Detroit November 8, 1987 @ Chicago November 13, 1987 @ Buffalo November 14, 1987 @ Washington November 18, 1987 @ Chicago - Minnesota DID NOT have patches Home games to account for November 21, 1987 v Boston - Minnesota had patches November 25, 1987 v St. Louis November 27, 1987 v. Montreal December 1, 1987 v. Toronto December 10, 1987 v. St. Louis December 12, 1987 v. Quebec December 16, 1987 v. Chicago December 19, 1987 v.
