GriffinM6 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I really wish the Lightning would use a more "electric blue" color. Not the same as the Carolina Panthers, but definitely something brighter than what they currently use. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think something akin to the Lions' Honolulu Blue, or even the shade of blue the Washington Sentinels used on The Replacements would do wonders for them: (Not the best pic, but you get the idea. Just bright enough to not be a straight royal blue...and a hue that would probably pop off even more on the ice with all that white hitting it.) 1 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take those two sweaters plus the white one, swap out the original logo for the current logo, and the Lightning have their three sweater combination that they would never have to change again (whether black or blue would be primary is a different debate). I actually do like the blue "storm" jersey (I hated this year's white RR version), but that could never be more than a 2-3 times a year novelty, at the absolute most. It loses any hipster appeal when worn too many times. As long as the current logo remains in place, this would be fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what the Lightning need to do is match up their shade of blue in the print logos to be aligned more with the blue of the fabric of their jersey, similar to what the Atlanta Braves and a few other teams have done recently. The blue on the jersey seems to be more vibrant than the dark royal that shows in most of their print logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leafs should always be a bit darker than that. Also, put me down for black helmets and breezers with blue sweaters and socks; ABAB distribution will never let you down in hockey or football. 5 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lightning initially used the same blue (and the same silver). 5 Quote "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

I see your point, but the victory stripes aren't really a design element, as they are aren't visible on the uniform. I think it is cool to have a little flair that you will only notice if a team wins the stanley cup, or scores a goal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Victory stripes I don’t mind because they are rather unintrusive and have a fun story about them. They are more a quirk than a fail like pit stains were. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 For a team called "lightning" and based in Florida, their whole identity has always felt so dreary. Why not incorporate "volt" or equivalent? Their nickname literally is a volt, and while real lightning may look more like white over a black sky, it just doesn't feel right for a team in Tampa to be devoid of all bright colors. I'm not suggesting to turn them into the Orlando Thunder, but just throw some "safety yellow" (or similar) in there. 3 1 4 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Shoot, that darker blue actually looks better than I thought it would! The Lightning brand has so much opportunity for fun and dynamism...they should defintiely lean into that more. 5 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
