Sens 25th anniversary "new look" | Future Jersey Poll

[great1]

The fans didn't really do anything. Vinik just suddenly announced we were going to change our logo, our jersey, our arena... EVERYTHING and we had no choice in the matter. It looked like the love child of the Red Wings and Maple Leafs and fans overwhelmingly rejected it. It was the most dull, boring, uninspired design ever laid eyes on in Tampa sports history. Vinik and co was more than delighted to tell us "Hey man that's our new look now. Deal with it." It was OVERWHELMINGLY rejected by fans and media.

Father Lightning himself Phil Esposito (who was the hero that forced management's hand) hated it so much that went to the highest law in the Lightning land and got us to change the uniform by adding black trim around the numbers and adding the lightning bolt on the pants. Needless to say the trim was a subtle but necessary improvement and the lightning bolt on the pants finally made the design bearable. The only improvement Phil didn't get his way on was the victory stripes under the armpit.

All I can say is unless you guys have a very influential insider I think the fans may be screwed with whatever the brass thinks looks good despite fan opinion. Because if it weren't for Phil we'd have plain white numbers and a plain white stripe on our pants.

It was fun being black and silver. I ****ing HATE being blue because "it's a classic look." Classic is so goddamn boring and uninspired. The one thing I've learned to tolerate out of our whole new design is the gatorade logo because it looks so sharp against the color black.

If nothing else works just riot like Vancouver does.

I saw a Tampa Bay concept on icethetics a few days ago based on the old BOLTS jersey that I thought was perfect.

I've always thought the Wild logo would look better if it was flipped around. Like this:

Heritage Jersey

I like the idea of having three heritage jerseys. Home reds can keep the "United in Red" slogan. Whites for the road and black as the thirds. The 2D centurion jerseys could always make an appearance on a throwback night.

Same here except I still have beef with Marty Havlat for 2005

( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮

and a ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮ for winning the cup before us

the Wilds are giving us a run for our money for best anniversary logo.

Woah woah. Well damn son right back atcha buddy.


I don't really care for those other jerseys either. Like I said... I hate being a blue team. Give me a black one and you'll have my approval.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

I wonder if the white and black O jerseys would look good with red pants+helmet, or at least just red pants

 

[Ice-Tray]

I prefer black being our main colour rather than red. Those heritage jersey designs look great, except the red one should be black.

So much nicer than ours...
