United States Postal Service employees in the great Tampa Bay area have been given approval to wear Tampa Bay Lightning gear in support of the team’s ongoing National Hockey League playoff run. Carriers and post office window clerks were given approval Tuesday to wear Lightning jerseys, shirts and hats as part of their work uniforms on game days starting Friday.

“The relaxation of the uniform regulations will continue as long as the Tampa Bay Lightning remain in the Stanley Cup playoffs,” Tampa Postmaster Rich Rome stated in a release.
