KCScout76 135 Posted February 1, 2011 TA-DA, the new TB Lightning Logos that were unveiled today. Simple & Clean IMO - I hope our TB fans like 'em. Chris Creamer also has them posted on the Logo Site.CrestShoulder PatchJerseys 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEWJ 178 Posted February 1, 2011 So how long did they have the (now) former logo? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheClevelandHockey 0 Posted February 1, 2011 The throwback one looks like the "Red Car" company logo with the little lightning bolts. I like it though.The other ones look too much like a generic superheroes logo. Also, they needed to keep the extra colors. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tBBP 2,410 Posted February 1, 2011 Tampa Bay Maple Leafs?The crest looks pretty cool, but it reminds me of Power Rangers. The shoulder crest looks nice, but it also looks like it came from the '60s or something. On the whole, it's all one big snoozapalooza.I mean really--who they think they foolin' here? This team was birthed in 1992. It ain't no old franchise. And I'm a little perturbed at the trend of newer NHL teams trying to go "vintage". There ain't a thing "vintage" about a team named the Lightning. And isn't there already a NHL team that "owns" the blue and white look--an original six team, at that?Ehh...ain't like that many people pay much attention to them anyways, so whateva. /rant 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GriffinM6 1,354 Posted February 1, 2011 The secondary should be the primary because it says Tampa Bay. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-kj 2,329 Posted February 1, 2011 There's a discussion going on elsewhere about these, but I'll keep this open since a major unveiling like this deserves its own thread. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andrewharrington 4,695 Posted February 1, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's not possible for 25% of people on this board (or a majority of the general pop.) to like a sports identity, no matter what it is. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePonderer 181 Posted February 1, 2011 I like the shoulder patch logo, but everything else is a downgrade. The Lightning have had the worst luck with uniforms and emblems. Well, I take that back. The California/Oakland Seals did. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CubsFanBudMan 399 Posted February 1, 2011 I guess this is what was expected, but nonetheless I think it's a shame they lost the black and silver. No need to go all Maple Leaf in Tampa. And another circle logo? Inconsistent lightning bolts? Oh well. If I were a fan I'd stick with my earlier merch. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheClevelandHockey 0 Posted February 1, 2011 I think the main problem is the fact that the lightning bolt's oval. I don't like it one bit.Personally I like the shoulder patch a lot more. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A-Train 1 Posted February 1, 2011 It even looks worse on the jerseys..Looks like a power supply company rec league team. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CubsFanBudMan 399 Posted February 1, 2011 I see there is a trend here to start knocking posters "who never like anything." Well, please defend this rather than ripping those of us that don't like it. I'm open minded. Three lightning logos on one jersey (that don't match), the addition of a played-out circle logo, using the color scheme of a historic team (inspired by a player from another). Those are my three strikes. And it's not like the Lightning have no history. They did win a Stanley Cup.Again, please enlighten me. I'm not sure this is the set to draw the line in the sand for. (For the record, I mourned the loss of green but liked the simplification of their baseball neighbors a few years back.) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMW79 208 Posted February 1, 2011 These are just plain horrible. I like the traditional simplicity of the Leafs and Wings, but these are far too forced and look very amateurish to me. The circle logo is the worst part. With a few striping tweaks, Tampa Bay's current thirds would have been a much more solid way to go.

Lee. 419 Posted February 1, 2011 As always, these are neither as good nor as bad as anyone would have you believe.A bit too simple, but far from awful. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
