Lol a summer to work on it and all they had was a logo on a black sweater with faded sleeves that look like they got washed too many times
So you're saying our uniform designers forgot to do their homework and copied someone else's?Fun fact if you play nhl 19:
when you go to create your be a pro they are wearing that same all black jersey with the grey fade but with an nhl logo and diagonal stripe things across the grey fade. Ill take a picture when I get a chance.
Haha I'm assuming it's a new Adidas template and the lightning creative team just threw the lightning logo on it and called it a day.So you're saying our uniform designers forgot to do their homework and copied someone else's?
Maybe they should have copied off of a smarter kid.
I gotta believe they’ve already done this. I mean it makes zero business sense to release them this late and right after Christmas.They should just scrap it all together. Only half a season left to showcase them at home, they missed the Christmas season for sales and it seems that they aren't confident in the design.
Maybe it's a rollout for next season like they did for the blue and whites. They were able to get the Lightning pants in there after the initial feedback.I gotta believe they’ve already done this. I mean it makes zero business sense to release them this late and right after Christmas.

Seems excessive, but if they felt it worked then...
That could also be why announcing after Xmas is a strength. Get an all-timer, rather than another BOLTS.
The ASW jerseys will actually have the team logos this time. Might have to get one.
Those are actually really nice. Steal them for thirds?
is it possible that TB put the brakes on the 3rd jersey for this year when the all-star jersey was going to look like this?
I like the teams getting individual sweaters from a sales perspective. They don't do novelty sweaters in the NHL, and all-star jerseys don't seem to normally sell that well, so making a team variant that could maybe sell pretty well (even if only in some markets each year), they can make some more money and fans get some reasonable variation from the normal kit.It’s possible.
That or the backlash from the leak? Maybe a combination of both.
The ad made them look better with the blue filter.
Not as big on them now, maybe could work if The mid stripe was blue.

Ah poo. I don't like that nearly as much with the grey mid stripe.
I agree that it could make a nice third if that wide strip was Bolts Blue.
If that strip was blue it would bleed into the black making it barely visible from a distance. Not trying to sound like a d*ck just an observation.
