Well, I guess technically it is a recoloured Tampa jersey, but the design is different enough that I obviously never thought, hey that's just Tampa's jersey recoloured.

The_Admiral Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I will always love this logo. It's lightning. It cuts through Tampa Bay. It has the full complement of team colors. You could argue that it's a little fashy, but no more than what they have now. Maybe it signifies that The Flash retired to The Villages. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great logo. However, the blue should be changed to a powdery electric blue. That shade of royal blue has no contrast with the black.

Has the same feel as the Sabres logo in that the logo is pretty descriptive of the full team name. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Bayne Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I don't really like it as a logo. The lightning bolt shape to me just feels very slapdash and unrefined. A bit like how I feel about the Ducks logo. Someone sketched out a few ducks feet or lightning bolts and they went "yeah ok, lets clean it up and go with that". The Florida shape in the background completely muddies it up as well. Normally I'm okay with blue and black not contrasting all that well because I do like those two colours together, but here it just bogs it down unnecessarily. I don't like the top of the lighttight bolt either, it just sort of stops. At least the new one is more of a well-perfected shape. The blue shadow on the bolt also it weird and arbitrary. I just don't quite get it as a logo. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, absolutely. You could probably get away with the same pantone color the Detroit Lions use. The NBA Orlando Magic use a similar blue that the Lightning could use. Furthermore, it's a blue that can be used as an alternate. If the blue and black were inverted from the original blacks, considering a lighter blue, the Lightning would've had an amazing alternate.

Ridleylash Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Something like this would be my ideal, color-wise, for Tampa; Keeps them distinct from the other blue teams to have a shade to themselves, and making black prominent again only helps. And for a team named the Lightning, I'm a little surprised they've never tried an electric blue before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 They did try, they darkened their shade of blue significantly from RGB 0-61-165 to 0-32-91 (source: https://www.trucolor.net/portfolio/national-hockey-league-franchise-colors-1917-1918-through-present/). I think they got it right the first time, they can be excused for doing a dark-n-fade when the organization was stupid and everyone else was doing it, but they should have used the 2011 revamp to go back. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, but it’s not a branding issue. People just need to take better care with color correction. Otherwise, what’s the solution? Not using purple or gold in branding? Obviously, that’s not realistic. You just do your best to make sure you get it right on the back end.

Interestingly enough, the Lightning's original Hawaiian Blue was the same color as the Honolulu Blue used by the Detroit Lions from 1980 through 1996.

The_Admiral Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I had a feeling they used the Lions' blue once. What I didn't know is that "the Lions' blue" has been pretty slippery over the years, getting lighter, then darker, then lighter again, but not quite as light. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always felt the non-bolt elements of the logo needed more black, and with the Honolulu blue, that's even more apparent. Here are two options with varying degrees of incorporating black: Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Bill Foley wants Marc-Andre Fleury to stay with Golden Knights Quote Foley also expressed his elation with the Knights’ new gold jersey that was unveiled Oct. 2. He said the gray home jerseys are “a little reserved” and the gold will drown out the team colors worn by opposing fans. “I wouldn’t mind the gray jersey eventually matriculating to be the third jersey and the gold jersey being our home jersey,” he said. “It’s really a good-looking jersey.” "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

Then should the Blackhawks have a black home jersey? Sometimes aesthetics should take precedence over name. I feel this is one of those times; Vegas' current home is really friggin' beautiful, and it'd be a shame to have it relegated to an alternate for a gaudy, sparkly gold mess. Sure, it's Vegas...but at the same time, you don't see the Panthers using teal or going Vice colors full-time because they play in the Miami metro.

Most of the Golden Gophers sports team don't predominantly wear gold, though in recent years, second home game of the weekend for men's hockey ends up being gold jerseys, so they're up to 50% at home (25% overall).

Well didn’t they get the nickname “Golden Gopher” from the all yellow football uniforms they had back in the 50’s? I mean traditionally you hear of them as the Maroon and Gold, so it makes sense that maroon is the main color.
