My father was at a chamber of commerce meeting a few weeks ago, and someone from the Tampa Bay Lightning told him that there were introducing new colors to the Uni's. He was told to look for jerseys with a lot of red color in them... I guess we'll see! this thread is a little old, but…

There are a lot of things that can be done with a lightning bolt. I would suggest that if changes are necessary in Tampa, go big or leave it alone.

I have gotten some grief about the sparkly silver circle when I wear my jersey. The new unis have that Japanimation "super hero" look. Though oddish they don't distract as much as the Buffalo banana slugs. I think the Bolt shows up better on black than on silver, which IMHO has a slight disco-era feel.

The stars down the side are distracting, but that's just design. I want to see what they look like with the team colors and logos. But these are not the horrible uniforms I kept hearing about.

The swooshy things at the bottom (where the stripes would normally be) remind me of a "rough sea" and, IMHO, would only look somewhat acceptable on the 'Canes jerseys. Plus, the blue is all wrong. I agree with tiny that new unis are inevitable... but I wouldn't take a bet saying this rendering is even close to what'll come through. Looks like a best-guess scenario from someone with a smidgen of design experience. Wow… those are actually pretty hideous.

Whatever they do, I just hope we get those lace-up front collars. New unis are inevitable. It’s basic franchise sports marketing 101.
