habsfan1 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The Flyers anniversary jersey has a number of similarities to the old Tampa Bay Lightning template... Change the orange stripes to blue and paint the shoulders black. If this template is a good one, the Lightning are the perfect candidates to use it. It would finally set them apart from the Leafs, who now have the same waist stripe as them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Nice thought. I like it. Someone mock it up! It would be a great update, similar but better to the same idea with the Avs alt design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Sobchak Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The Lightning need to bring back the brighter blue they originally used so it doesn't blend in with black so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'd say either go with navy and silver or light blue and black. A big reason as to why they look like Toronto is because they only use blue... like Toronto. They need a second color, and I'd be all for them going with a modern template (custom font, stripes, etc.) to their uniforms because that could really separate themselves (plus, not every team needs to look like the Original Six).

It looks awful. There would have to be more done with the jerseys to balance it out. Personally, something like one of Morgo's last hand drawn concepts or Steven Grant's here, for them is where I'd go. that's not steven grant's concept that's my concept, i just used his fonts.

B-mer Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Sorry for the number of posts. Playing around with the color arrangements, but a combination that emphasizes blue might be the new direction to go to blend the eras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel75 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Decent jerseys but that logo is horrible, forever frozen in the year 2005. Also the bolt is too fat and top heavy. The current one, while simple is timeless and clean looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Every one of the concepts posted is better than Tampa Bay's current, character-less trash. The 2007 logo is far and away the best they've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 That template is without a doubt great for Tampa. Here's the thing about the logos. If we use the current logo on that template, it will be a single color logo on duotone colored stripes and tritoned colored numbers. At the very least, the current logo would need a thin outline around it, for consistency sake. The other thing is that the roads would contain a lot of black. So placing a black version of the current logo with blue outline might be a better fit. The monotone blue version might not look right on there.

Agree on the current logo, which is why I didn't put it there. In all honesty the numbers could probably use a change up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLAKnight Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 So apparently this is for sale at the NHL Store in NY. The guy who runs TheRoyalHalf was visiting there earlier today. Anyone else seen it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 That's actually pretty cool. And this is coming from someone who never liked any of Seal's uniforms or logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'd wear that shirt with pride. The seals identity was a huge mess, but that T-shirt looks sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The California Golden Seals didn't last a decade, the shirt would look better with a larger logo. If the San Jose Sharks want to do a Seals throwback someday, more power to them, but it seems weird to celebrate something which isn't true.

The Gunds were minority owners of the Seals at the end of their run. They were majority owners after the team moved to Cleveland. The Barons merged with the North Stars; the Gunds were then majority owners of the North Stars after the merger. When the Sharks came around, the Gunds sold the North Stars and got an expansion franchise in San Jose with rights to bring some of the North Stars players to San Jose... they basically unmerged the franchises. Just not officially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 It is true but it's also very convoluted, which is why it's easier to just refer to the Sharks as a 1991 expansion team. Thinking of the Sharks as a second-six team just doesn't feel right. Especially considering the fact they wear teal and have always used a very modern looking logo set.
