Fans shouldn't be too worried. Mr. Vinik is a hedge fund guy himself and just from this thread we know he's all about diversifying his investments (including in who invests his money).
I think we're one step away from a subscription service. Every month/quarter a bunch of random (and sometimes unique) Lightning gear gets sent to you for a reasonable cost.
One step away. They'll have your shirt & hat size and they'll bring the cost down. That's how it works for companies like Loot Crate.Looks decent; would be better if it came with a fitted hat instead of adjustable.
You might be on to something about the subscription, but the reasonable cost part is debatable.
Interesting theory, but i’m more leaning towards them scratching the 3rds altogether after the backlash from the leaked image. I mean at this point they’re not even toying around with us about the release. It’s as if they’ve brushed it under the rug and said don’t look here.I'm starting to think that the Lightning aren't so much releasing a 3rd jersey as much as they're going to reinvent the look. Bare with me here....
They took a fan survey. And how many of us want a black jersey or a throwback? Maybe half of us give or take? The two are hand in hand and "half" is not a small sample -especially if that correlated to the survey.
They did the crummy black 3rds for a minute. And it would be no big deal to do it again.
The last time we did the new look it came midseason.
There's no reason for the delay to be lasting this long. It doesn't take this long to add some victory stripes -which I'm sure many of us would want to see.
I really am starting to think that whatever we release is going to become a primary look because the one thing that makes sense is for the holdup is that the results of the survey are being applied here and we want to figure out a way to make a new look that lasts forever. Vinik made no secret that his intention was an everlasting trademark and when you see our logo you know it's us and you know what we look like.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I drank too much and ate too many cookies fingers. But if there's one thing I've learned it's that with the Lightning everything happens when nothing seems to be happening
Yeah, same here as soon as the leak was posted on social media I did not hear a single person say it was a good jerseyInteresting theory, but i’m more leaning towards them scratching the 3rds altogether after the backlash from the leaked image.

I miss our old Jerseys personally. (The ones during our cup run.) So much better than the current ones. I like our Current ones better than the Okay hockey jerseys so least there's that. I want the classics back.

Probably waiting for Valentines Day. My girlfriend got me a jersey for Valentines Day once, so i was extra nice when I dumped her.I'm really shocked they didn't have a third jersey out by now. I have to think Christmas is a good time for jersey sales.

I guess he didn't like the name and number on the back.I assume you dumped her the next day? Or was it when the date was over?
I gave up on being excited about having third jerseysI'm really shocked they didn't have a third jersey out by now. I have to think Christmas is a good time for jersey sales.
