1990hornet Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 So let me get this straight. I hear people complain on here quite a lot about how a logo is too complex, and then you get this, can't get much more simpler than that and people still complain. Wow. (BTW, I'm not saying I like it, but it's not bad either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It takes time to get used of change, eh? But so far, I hate it today even more than I did yesterday.Plain and simply put: It's an Epic Failure!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 They just showed the new jerseys on the Flyers / Lightning broadcast. Man, the road looks awkward with the wordmark over the oval.A couple of thoughts (in addition to my suggestion that they use electric green or yellow):1. They need black in there. As much as their uniforms have sucked since inception, they've always used black prominently.2. They could really use sleeve or shoulder detail. I'm thinking that if they want to clone the Red Wings, why not put black sleeves on the blue jersey (and blue sleeves on the white jersey)?

imawalkingcorpse Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 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 PatchJerseysThe most hideous jersey's and your sig is awful. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Justice Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Can we boil this down? Its simple... The Lightning used to be ugly, now they're boring. Which do you consider worse?In my book, Boring is a greater sin than Ugly. Ugly at least makes the uniform memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 My quick photoshop tweak of the new logo so it doesn't look so plain. I know the silver doesn't belong in the colour scheme, but it had to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axis_of_Weasel Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It would be real cool if someone with actual skill on here could fix up this idea and make it look nice.

Sport Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Victory stripes are the dumbest idea that anyone ever had for a hockey uniform. Yeah they were dumb, but they were definitely a unique aspect of their uniforms that everybody (sports geeks like us) knew.-DanThey should figure out a way to make the armpits equipped with scrolling LCD's that someone can program for a specific occasion like "Victory" after a win or "Goal!" after a goal or "goal, but we're still down 4".

Sport Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You don't rip off the New York Yankees or the Boston Celtics or any other historic franchise. The Leafs fall into that category.You wouldn't say their own city-mates ripped off the Yankees with their redesign?They later added a few things to make it less Yankee-ish, but especially the initial RAYS reveal was basically Yankees farm club level.Not at all unless you count navy blue and even then it's a deeper navy, almost black. The Rays dark blue is more towards royal. That's without mentioning that the Rays do use a columbia blue. The Rays use placket piping while the Yankees use pinstripes. I would never consider the Rays uniforms to be ripoffs of the Yankees. If anything, there were just an attempt to cash in on the double blue craze. The differences far outnumber the similarities.

The_Admiral Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The Marlins came closer to ripping off the Yankees than the Rays did, but they've retired those alternates. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
