Milo Meningocele Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Eh, I would have liked to see some black in the striping; having it on the numbers and pants without tying it into the striping looks odd to me.Right. And it's on the pants bolt, but not the crest bolt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The update is better but I agree that it's still not as good as the current and needs more black.Will the away jerseys have black on them too?And the greatest travesty of this whole debacle is that the surviving jerseys are the BOLTS abominations...

Sodboy13 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Eh, I would have liked to see some black in the striping; having it on the numbers and pants without tying it into the striping looks odd to me.Right with you on that. Thin black outlines on either side of the sleeve stripes and sock stripes, thin black outline on the top edge of the hem stripe, and making the the outer ring of the shoulder logo black. There you go. Black incorporated sufficiently without being overbearing.As it stands now, a blank replica jersey, which will be the most prevalent representation of the team's new look, will still only be blue and white. I'm thrilled to see the pants bolt back, but this is clearly a last-minute half-measure because the replicas are already being sewn and printed overseas.

Morgan33 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 At least now they can't be accused of stealing Leafs scheme.These were already growing on me but the addition of the Bolt on the pants and slight black accents puts this the passable category. I really hope they ditched the wordmark on the away sweater too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better...but it feels incomplete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Am I the only one that actually likes the new logo?that little bit of black goes a long way and you just know that Sodboy's right. They changed what they could (the numbers and the pants) and kept everything that's already been processed the same. I think it's a win that we got the bolt back on the pants. I'm much happier with these now, that little bit of black on the numbers helps quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 All they needed to do was add a plain white bolt to the pants, and white victory stripes under the arms and they would have been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Shoop said above, its better just incomplete. I didn't really care for the new Rays stuff at first but it has grown on me, and I expect the same for the new Lightning duds.

Billy B Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I've been warming up to the new logo. I still don't like the overall look because of the closeness to the Leafs, but I liked them on their own. Now the addition of black hurts the uniforms, I think. Just outlining the pants bolt and number (the double outline looks bad) just looks incomplete. Putting a small black outline on the number, bolt, and all the stripes would be great.

tBBP Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have a sneaky suspicion we might yet see one or two more little revisions to this "final draft" here before the Bolts take the ice next season. *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...

CJworks Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The Blue and white look was definately the way to go. That being said, I don't know why they just threw black in there. It looks so out of place now, and turned a near flawless design into a jumbled mix. I love the new logo, they should just do away with the black.

capn89 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 This is a joke, right? They look like horse **** with the black added. Like someone else said, all they needed was a white bolt on the pants and white victory stripes (I don't care either way on those) and they'd be nice. Now it is black for ****ing black's sake and it looks awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I agree, this made it even worse. I was all for adding some touches of black (or of silver), but this is incredibly poorly executed. Now, they've still got the weird pseudo-Maple Wings thing going on, but with the added effect of two random treatments with black--the number outlines and the outline on the pants bolt--that don't match each other, don't match the logo, and don't match the striping. It's a knee-jerk addition of black, as if no thought was put into this.Bravo. HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If they would have added black to the striping and logo this would be a marked improvement. As it is they look incomplete. Nice to see the bolts return to the pants though. This is a joke, right? They look like horse **** with the black added. Like someone else said, all they needed was a white bolt on the pants and white victory stripes (I don't care either way on those) and they'd be nice. Now it is black for ****ing black's sake and it looks awful.Sometimes I think people complain just to hear themselves to talk PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I give the Lightning credit for listening to their fans. Sadly, they forced the black a bit, putting it where they could without changing the existing jerseys. If they wanted to add it in select places without forcing it, there'd be no better way to do it than the victory stripes, but I guess they are dropping that tradition. Glad for the fans that the bolts on the pants are back. For those that said it was a good uni in a vacuum, this helps the Leafs issue, but is what's left still "good"? I guess what they did was the best tradeoff they could make. A black third would be a good move in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have to say this. I HATE the term "jersey system".You should have watched the press conference unveiling. The team CEO and owner were throwing out every buzz word they could think of. They even had a Lightning "mission statement" prepared.
