tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I've grown to sort of like the Lightning's set. It needs some tweaks, like a bit more black and removal of the wordmark. That said, I don't think they'll beat either Chicago or Anaheim in a 7 game series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point1 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Look, the Lightning jerseys are boring and O6 rip-offs, but where did the revisionist history come from where their inaugural jerseys are anything but hideous? The logo is one of the worst in NHL history, the template is just as boring as the new one, and the three colours blend together horribly. At least the new ones aren't an eyesore, and honestly if they added black trim they'd be pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The above set was anything but an eyesore. I'll agree the logo is poor but besides that, I fail to see any problems. The colours were perfect for a team called "Lightning" and were wholly original to the NHL. The striping was derivative sure, but the colours went a long way towards rectifying that.

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 When was the last time a team won a cup after completely overhauling a previous cup winning look? I can only think of the O6 Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphins91 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The Preds just unveiled the 2016 All Star logo. I think it looks very nice. it includes the 3 stars from the flag and logo, a nice, western/country style text, and some extra little things added all inside the guitar pick shape of the alternate logo. I really like how this logo turned out 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The victory stripes were the only interesting part. I've long thought that a black/blue/silver version of this would be perfect for them: POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadSeed84 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 So with the new all star logo, no more saying All Star Game, just NHL All Star, eh I don't care for that, looks more for a player instead of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the new ones aren't an eyesore, and honestly if they added black trim they'd be pretty damn good.Those weren't great, but there is potential.The striping actually works for me. It's everything they wanted out of the current set- traditional and simple. Where is excels is in the area of not looking like the striping pattern of an existing team.The logo set is a mess, but they fixed that with the Edge set (the only improvement that set made). Colour-wise? Black and royal blue do bleed into each other, but the team didn't start with royal blue. Their original shade of blue was the lighter Detroit Lions-esque Honolulu blue.So I guess what I'm saying is this. Take this uniform, use the Edge era logo set, and replace royal blue with Honolulu blue. Boom.

RyanMcD29 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 As I've said in the past, I think the Lightning should've taken their Edge logo, their Edge alternate, slapped the logo onto it, and remove the piping.White version of that for the roads, black alternate, and there ya go.
