Uniform and RBK Edge

John F · January 22nd, 2007, 12:41 PM

I can remember way back in the day when Sharon Loe used to muse with some of the other people on Boltsmag (Rivals site) about her friend Jeff Hand and conceptual new uniforms he designed for the Lightning.

We've all been wondering if the Lightning will ever update their look... And it looks like RBK has gone ahead and designed new jersey's for the Bolts:

WHile I don't like the crest being so small (the Lightning Bolt should be bigger) and hate the little white wedge at the bottom of the sweater... This is a redesign to be expected with how the League has operated the last few years design-wise.

Some find the current sweat to be a neo-classic but it's dated in a lot of ways and I'm happy that there is at least an update here. Though it's more of a revamp.

Do you have a link to the site for the new Bolts uniforms?

John F · February 11th, 2007, 08:25 AM

Ah, I see the rendering that appeared on the web went over the bandwidth limit. Oh well, I'll just upload the rendering here...

THis has NOT been confirmed:

The uniforms look all right. Looking forward to the streamlined look.

If it hap[pens.

I really need to see these on a player before I can pass judgement. They look OK to me but def. different fromt eh traditional look that many teams adhere to

Oh, yeah.

I liked the ones he did, also.

I really like these. Well, maybe not the socks. I was never a fan of the script in the logo.

As I listed above, I really want to see these on a player before I pass judgement. I like the Blue alternate mock up better than the black road uniforms.

They don't look that bad..........this is also a test

Rcap238 · April 10th, 2007, 01:09 PM

Just confirmed with a friend that works for the lightning that these are not the new design. Too bad, they need to update those uniforms.

John F · April 10th, 2007, 01:38 PM

Thanks Rcap, they are coming... maybe.

Rcap238 · April 11th, 2007, 04:08 AM

There will be some changes to the jerseys next season but nothing to significant. A font change in the lettering and remove tampa bay from the crest. Obviously it will be the rbk edge cut.

John F · April 12th, 2007, 10:12 AM

The removal of the name fo rhte crest has long been planned from what I have been told in the past. The bolt itself is more marketable. Not the crest with the words on it.

Still, it'd be sorta nice to see the look "updated" a tad more than just the crest changing a bit.

I will just be glad to get rid of the outline of the state with the bolts on it (on the sholders). I think with that "other" team having Florida in it's name, it just doesn't seem right and it looks goofy too!
