AstroCree Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The most unimaginative jersey in the history of hockey. Black with dust on the sleeves. Wow. If there was an art class and the assignment was to create a new hockey sweater and I handed this in, I would get an F for uncreativity. Just a quick paycheck for the boys in the office. This is just unbelievably awful. I’m convinced someone made a bet saying “I bet I’ll throw in nothing and they’ll accept the jersey” and BOOM! They actually got away with it.

daniel75 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 They look better on the ice but still not good. 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the simplistic design will sell well with non-traditional fans. They’re not what I expected at all, but it’s an alternate. I’d rather see them test the waters on an alt with some elements than ruin a solid home and road set. its a 7/10 for me and I’ll probably be getting one.

Prince Harry Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The Lightning have been consistently disappointing with their jersey designs for a pretty long time, so I had no real expectations for this. I guess its fine since its just a third. I like when third jerseys are somewhat of a departure from the main set. Not great execution here, maybe give it a 5.5/10. But in a weird way, i think it actually excites me more than all of the throwback retreads we got for third jerseys from the rest of the league. What did we get like 4 new alternate designs all season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The Lightning should be forced to forfeit the rest of the season. Yuck. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatic Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Seeing those Tampa jerseys in action, it’s pretty hard to even discern who is who with those grey outline numbers. I don’t think these uniforms have any redeeming qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It looks like Adidas put a bunch of bells and whistles on a uniform they forgot to design. On the ice it looks like a continuous-grey, indiscernible mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Since the Lightning's primaries resemble the Red Wings, maybe they should also follow their footsteps in not having an alternate jersey. Every one they've had has been bad. The best was in 2008 and even then it wasn't that great with the nickname wordmark and trim going to nowhere. Who honestly thought these were a good idea? Can't even read the damn numbers on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Well at least the hockey gods struck them down with a (Bettman) loss in the debut?

Sport Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The jersey is taking a swing at something and I don't think it particularly succeeds with the whole thing being too dark. My biggest issue is the number on the back. When has dark colored numbers placed on a jersey of the same color as the number ever looked good? It's not as legible, it doesn't look as good as a single color number would have, it's clunkier and heavier looking. Ohio State women's hockey got some headlines recently for wearing an illegal jersey when Nike decided black numbers with a thin, rubbery red outline on a black jersey was a good idea: https://www.sbncollegehockey.com/womens-hockey/2018/10/20/18004022/ohio-state-women-penalized-for-illegal-jerseys They had to start that game with a 2 minute penalty. Tampa's isn't as bad as that because the outline is much thicker, but I still don't think it looks good. Why do we keep doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It pains me to say it, but this could use some electric blue(preferably) or volt. It's all night and no lightning as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Just watched the highlights. In game the sleeve effect gets lost, which is pretty much what I expected. They're boring, but "practice jersey" isn't what I'd call them. They almost look like a rec league team that just started out and could only afford basic black equipment.
