Lightning unveil new logo, uniforms
​

The Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday unveiled a new logo and uniform that will be put to use starting next season.

With models Vincent Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos, along with franchise founder and Hockey Hall of Famer Phil Esposito and former captain Dave Andreychuk, the new home jersey is a blue sweater with blue pants, and a new Lightning bolt crest in a circle.

The road uniform is a white jersey with the Lightning crest and Tampa Bay in writing above it.

Lightning CEO Tod Leiweke said the goal of the new uniform was to create something "iconic," "bold," and "classic."

"When a player pulls on the Lightning sweater, we want him to know exactly who he represents and what the mark he is wearing stands for," said GM Steve Yzerman. "The long-term goal is for the Lightning to be an iconic franchise, rich in tradition with championship values and a strong legacy."

How long before the logo patch becomes their primary? Like it should be. Love the fact that they are abandoning all that fucking black, which is overplayed by a lot of teams, but c'mon...these uniforms look like a cheap super hero's costume. They could have done so many better things with this.

Looks really bad. I actually liked the old Tampa Bay colours and logos.

I liked the black.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Ewwwwww. Wearing those would be a punishment.

The logos on the front look heat pressed on.

I wonder if the Leafs will sue for bland uniform infringement?

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Lmfao, I just realized other then the Leafs have two small strips instead of one big one, they are identical. SMH

They look pretty nice to me.

If they put that patch logo on the chest and used a silver outline on letters, stripes, and numbers....HUGE UPGRADE and my approval.

orrrr rip off something iconic bold and classic.

"The long-term goal is for the Lightning to be an iconic franchise, rich in tradition with championship values and a strong legacy."

[Pugz]

I think its similar to the logo Rockstar posted but I don't see it as a rip off, just me tho.

Honestly, they're not good but they aren't bad. I agree with AE that the third should be primary.

These are sweet. I loved these.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I like the colour schemes on those, but I am not a fan of the "BOLTS" text.

 

[playmaker7]

[Gtown81]
