tigerslionspistonshabs Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I agree that black accents would make them much nicer, but I have no real complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well at least they avoided the double stripes, and thus to close of a connection to the Maple Leafs. Still, kind of underwhelming.This isn't a team that's been around for 100, 90, 75 years. They don't need a simple colour on white colour scheme. The blue, black, and silver was a unique colour scheme. Sad to see it go.

nash61 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 They released it early to prevent it from leaking- smart move.Keeping the BOLTS jersey as an alt.

Jhero34 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 if they wanted a generic logo they definitely got one, i'm really trying to like this look but i really cant, they aren't an old team who has used a boring colour scheme or font for all of eternity why do they insist on trying to be original six in style....?

Morgan33 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 TerribleThey more or less copied the Red Wings design stripe for stripe and sucked all the originality out of their colour scheme. The best feature of Tampa's Jerseys was that shimmering silver circle that encased the bolt making the logo really stand out on the ice. Now you have something so lacking in inspiration it'd be generous to use it on a minor league team. Very dissapointed in SME Design. They've done some great work in the past (Wild to mention one) but this is just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 OK, so they wanted simplistic. However they went so simplistic that they've become disappointly boring.What they had before (or currently) logo-wise was perfect, why get rid of it?

Billy B Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It's not what I was hoping for, more of what I expected was going to happen. Not even a little black or silver really hurts them. A team name like Lightning, especially a team that's only been around since the 90s, does not need a traditional jersey design or colors. I think the worst part is the circle around the lightning bolt. The way it's uneven makes it look almost cartoony which doesn't go at all with the very traditional color scheme/design they have going. Very disappointing redesign for the Lightning.

bowld Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It all sucks. They are not an iconic team and never will be so why go this route? Keep the silver and black..make the new shoulder patch the primary and you have a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
