If I was trying to play “gotcha” I would have said “you” rather than “we.” Using a widely held opinion to illustrate a point about a similar name is not constructing a straw man; it’s anecdotal evidence to support an opinion. Nothing more. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing more. Going "the name you like won't work because other people don't like another name" when the latter half doesn't apply to the person you're talking to is kind of misleading. Sure. You do you though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lights Out 4,976 Posted February 6 The Lightning actually look like the Lightning tonight for the first time in a decade, victory stripes and all. 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
infernoqueso 388 Posted February 6 I LOVE this RR Lightning look, the color balance is gorgeous. However they needed to use the matching gloves from the edge set. In the future I definitely would love to see something similar, but with a updated front crest that's not so dated. I forgot how much I liked the Florida shoulder patch too. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridleylash 4,207 Posted February 6 Tampa's RR looks absolutely friggin' gorgeous. Removing black from this team's jersey was a crime. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan33 4,129 Posted February 6 Tampa's Reverse Retro is the jersey they should have put their updated-logo from 2007 on. Then there would have been no need for the bland, Leaf's knockoffs. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seasaltvanilla 1,006 Posted February 6 That WordArt logo has to be one of the most embarrassing logos in sports. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wade Heidt 550 Posted February 6 Love these Tampa Bay uniforms. I would have preferred them wearing blue helmets instead of black and bringing in proper black/blue/white gloves like they used to wear to match with this set. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bayne 1,123 Posted February 6 The logo is not good, but it carries some charm which the newest version just imbue at all. I don't know how much of that is down to nostalgia - I know a lot of it is but I don't think all of it is. It's much less of a corporate looking mark which their new one is, and more of an old fashioned sports team logo, as dated as it may be. It just evokes more of a classic aesthetic - imperfections, odd choices and all. I would vote that they went back to it, and made the blue version a permanent 3rd or something. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why so many people are saying it's a bad logo. Better than the generic clip art one they have no and the Edge era logo looks dated as hell now, worse than the original one imo. It's not perfect but it looks just fine 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VancouverFan69 699 Posted February 6 5 hours ago, Ark said: These should be their primaries. I agree. They are gorgeous. However, the blue needs to be lighter...at least a powder blue for better contrast with the black. Similar to the shade of blue the NBA Orlando Magic have. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwing64 1,711 Posted February 6 I like the Jets Reverse Retro more than I expected, even though I never particularly liked the jersey it's based on. Might've look better in Aviator Blue instead of grey. The Ducks and Knights had to reschedule their February 26th game for April 23rd, so we won't be seeing Wild Wing until the April 9th game against the Avs. Also, those are the only times it will be worn this season. Commit, you cowards! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
