How is the Dallas Stars honoring Black History Month?
Before puck drop, fans can enjoy a party on PNC Plaza with live music and other fun vibes. As fans enter the arena, they'll get a free commemorative poster featuring the new logo. Inside, the in-game entertainment will spotlight black artists, and W.T. Greer will sing the national anthem. He's performed for U.S. presidents from Gerald Ford all the way to Barack Obama. Bambaataa drew inspiration from mud cloth, a traditional African textile worn by warriors and leaders to symbolize greatness. He kept the design simple yet detailed, something the whole city can connect with, especially since the Stars are one of the top teams in the National Hockey League. This initiative highlights local talent and cultural pride, blending hockey with Black History Month in a fresh way.
