jkrdevil Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Take that black jersey.Change the blue to orange.Change the arm / shoulder panel to white.Keep the white cuff, or make it black.Could that be the new Flyers home jersey? The teaser did show a large orange panel under the white arm piece...If you mean this picture:No it doesn't look like it. There doesn't seem to be that orange extension to the arm pit like there is the blue in the Tampa uniforms. It look like the Flyers will be closer to what Columbus unis are. Also there is an image on the Flyers website of the Gagne namepate in connection with the new uniforms that seems to back up the Flyers image above.I guess you're right. Plus, now that I've seen the back of it, I can see that the TB template doesn't allow for the shoulders on that Gagne jersey.I don't see how the Columbus template allows for horizontal stripes on the lower sleeve though. That's why I wasn't certain that was the template they'd be using.On a side note, I think that my (probably incorrect) idea for the Flyers jersey (using the TB template) would look great.I meant a modified version of it. There aren't really hard and fast templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonz Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Much better than their previous jersey. An upgrade for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Well, I never cared for the original TB unis, so I can give these a modest approval, but like the Sens uniform, the lack of any colour differentiation around the hem bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm going to get up on my soapbox (again)...here's what bothers me about the Lightning's new logo - the color choices. Now, the new logos use the same color palette as the old logo (at least, since the 2001-2002 season), but the problem is that the Blue is just TOO DARK to use against the Black.The problem is, is that the designers - as most seem to do - choose the colors based on how they look on screen in Illustrator. NOT how they'll look when printed in CMYK, or using Pantone inks. The Blue the Lightning is using (what the hell - it's been posted here enough...it's 281 C) is a very dark Blue. Almost Navy. Way too dark against the Black. They need to use a lighter Blue - similar to the "Hawaiian Blue" they used from 1992-1993 through 2000-2001.A lot of you know that the RGB values I use for my Team Colors listings represent the Pantone colors optimized for use on computer monitors. These colors are as accurate as you can get to how they will look if you use the actual Pantone formula guide. Here's the new Lightning primary logo, using the optimized RGB values - you'll see what I'm talking about:Vancouver's new, recolored primary has the same problem, as you'll see shortly.[/endsoapbox] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
refuse Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 More sucky jerseys. A black jersey with no hem stripe + black pants and probably black socks = crap. just a big black blob designwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthStar74 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hmm that Lightning logo is okay.. but really is it necessary to have the Tampa Bay on top of the logo?? As for the jerseys.. ahhh interesting.... one problem... the home jersey do not have the front numbers as the away jersey.. did the Lightning forget to do that or was it to separate everything?? That might be a bit odd to see on TV later on... but interesting look...

_RH_ Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 1. Numbers on front of jerseys are stupid, especially if it's only one set2. Having the name of your city on your home jersey is stupid3. Shoulder logos shouldn't be 90% similar to the primaryThese are an upgrade, but still amongst the worst in the league. Way too much black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm assuming the Fathead sticker logo is accurate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Does anyone know if these jerseys still maintain the Victory Stripes?

-kj Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Eh, they're ok, I guess, but not particularly good. Don't understand having the number on the front just on the white jersey. Mind you, I hate the number on the front, period.Of course, they'd immediately be better if "Tampa Bay" weren't on the crest.As for the goal judges... yes, at the NHL level, they're strictly ornamental (not so at amateur levels, where they are consulted, however rarely). But are you telling me now that there will be no more lighting the red lamp? Seriously? I weep. This is worse than switching from orange armbands for the referees, which is a bad choice both aesthetically and functionally. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!
