ColeJ Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 not sure what background information i need to give on this one... i'm too tired to think, after working at the po-po house all night and then finishing up this concept this morning. any and all comments are welcome, as always... more than welcome, actually. it's my entire purpose in posting uniform concepts.

KaTo Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I like them very much, but what about a black alternative jersey?KaTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 I like them very much, but what about a black alternative jersey?KaToseems like that would be out of place, considering there's no black in either the home or road jersey.i could make it the darker blue, but then they'd have 2 almost identical jerseys...

gordie_delini Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 those are really nice - I like the adoption of the two-tone blues for this, and the lightning shoulder stripes are awesome. good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Wow. I'm pretty impressed. Shows a lot more than your other concepts. Has a little bit of SD Chargers going on, but not in a "you ripped them off" way. Probably the first Lightning concept that I've seen incorporate the lightning bolt into the striping somehow that didn't look awkward and forced.

pantherfid Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 WOW! I really like these! Living in Tampa, I would love to see these on the ice at the St.Pete Times Forum. I also like the fact that you took the black OUT of the uni. Black seems to be EVERYWHERE these days. It is nice to see it gone, and the different tones of blue in it's place. One suggestion...I would love to see an alternate logo on the third sweater. Either the Florida w/ lightning bolt across it, or something new.

Jezus_Ghoti Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 They make me wish there was yellow in the set. I don't know if that's because they look Chargersish or because I subconsciously want them to look MORE Chargersish. Just... really needs yellow from how I see it.Very nice design.

sigma716 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 love the jersey, not so much on the logo, i think its the circle that ruins it for me... not that i like their current logo, or you can do much with lightning anyway.sharp though.

TBGKon Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 AWESOME, I'd be proud to see the Lightning wear anything remotely similar to these. The double blue seems to work much better than black, and that silver alt is ideal too.One suggestion...I would love to see an alternate logo on the third sweater. Either the Florida w/ lightning bolt across it, or something new.Agreed, I think a new alt logo would be the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 There's something that doesn't sit right with me about the lightning bolt on the sleeves. I'm not entirely sure how good it would look in action, with a player having his arms down by his sides. Also seems like a weird shape for a bolt ? perhaps if it were split into two bolts that meet up/touch under the sleeve number?Otherwise, super stuff.

-Helix- Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 No victory stripes under the arms or lightning bolts on the pants? Gotta keep some of the traditions of the old uniforms.But I like these alot. Great job incorporating the lightning bolts on the jersey. Only thing I'm not really a fan of is the crest. But that's not your fault. We just have a sucky collection of logos to choose from.I like the colors too, but part of me wants us to keep a black uniform since we've always had one.

Taylor R. Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 i think those are great the best tampa bay lightning concept i've seen Go Lakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 it killed me to leave the victory stripes off....i'm wondering how the bolts plan to keep that tradition, without it looking very very awkward.and bolts on the pants seemed overkill, with bolts on the arms.

AlexHorky Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 that is really amazing, i would love to have one of the home/dark jerseys, i wish tampa would go to that simpler logo design, too. good job overall <a target="_blank" title="Scoreboard Widget" alt="Scoreboards" href="http://www.electro-mech.com/scoreboards/widget/"><img border='0' src="http://www.electro-mech.com/banners/hockey/330_90-Montreal_Canadiens-Toronto_Maple_Leafs.png"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Before the image even completely loaded, this went through my head and out of my mouth:Best. Lightning concept. Ever. EVER.I love it.

Cuse2000 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 There's something that doesn't sit right with me about the lightning bolt on the sleeves. The only thing that strikes me is that the curvature of the lightning bolts makes the sleeves look like eagles' wings. Almost like you were making a Rice hockey jersey. It may help to either straighten out the bolts, or shorten them, almost like a concave shoulder version of the SD Chargers' stripe.I love the colors you used, especially on the alternate jersey.What program do you use for your concepts? The quality's amazing, but it doesn't look like other Illustrator concepts.
