Personally I still think they should try to reincorporate the 2021 Reverse Retro into their lineup. That one was to me a perfect Lightning jersey. If anything they could keep their new logo on that jersey design and it'll look fantastic.
The Syracuse Crunch are actually named after the Nestle Crunch bar. When the team came to Syracuse in the early 90s there was a Nestle factory in nearby Fulton and that's where the name came from. The factory since has closed and been demolished but the team name has stuck around
I really like the blue RR and I think it should be the home with the white as the away and the black one as the alternate. Perfect combo. I also like how you have both cup patches because side by side, it really showed how much better the old design was.
On ice jerseys are different from retail, Blue Jersey lightning bolt is best without the word mark. Black with Silver Bolt because it's looks good and it's different.
As a Lightning fan, I wish they would go back to their original logo and make a more creative jersey to put it on. I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing the 2007-2011 logo getting featured as an alternate at some point. But more than anything I want to see the reverse retro storm jersey make a return as a permanent alternate.
All I see with the current bolt logo, is the flash. They need to do a red and yellow fashion jersey because of it 🤣 I wish they'd go the panthers route and have a jersey with the shoulder logo on the front. The bolt over Florida is mint.
The third gradient jersey is great going to the games because I have most and I can tell you that black one is by far the most temperature cool one. When it's 95° Fahrenheit it's a big part of the decision.
I swear I live vicariously though you on these vids. I would love to have a hockey sweater collection, but I couldn't justify it like you can, lol. I'm always a sucker for the clean and simplistic early 90s look: horizontal stripes on the bottom and arm, maybe some flairs on the shoulders and single colour otherwise. And even though Tampa's first uniforms were a bit out there for the time (that's how simplistic most of them were, lol), they clearly fit in perfectly with them in hindsight. That said, I also like the over-designed logos of that era, too. The current logo just looks so plain to me. I like how out there the original ones were.
Yeah, my original Lightning jersey by CCM is definitely my favorite. Not a fan of the "BOLTS" jerseys, super disappointed they used that for the stadium series in Nashville. One thing I like with Tampa's uniform is the lightning bolt on the hockey pants. Pretty sure that was Espo's idea and they almost tossed it when they updated to the current logo. So glad they kept it, best hockey pants in the league.
I do like the Lightning Stadium Series jersey in Adidas that has BOLTS in big bold letters I thought it was better than the Predators Stadium Series jersey that says SMASHVILLE in big bold letters
Longtime Lightning fan and lifelong Tampa Bay Area resident here. I'm not a fan of the Bolts' 2 2023-24 primary uniforms. They look too similar to the Maple Leafs for my tastes despite still having black in their color scheme. Also, silver needs to return to the official club color scheme ASAP and I prefer that the team wears black tops for most home games instead of blue. One thing I do like is the original black uniform being brought back as a throwback/third uni for 2023-24. I think that's better than what they wear most of the time these days.
I hate those Bolts jerseys, very ugly. Not really a fan of the black and silver ones either. I like the jerseys with Tampa bay over the logo and the current ones as well. But the reverse retro are the best and should be their 3rd jerseys at least.
I was so glad when the Bucs ditched the ugly "alarm clock" and went back to their "Tampa 2" era jersey. I'm hoping the Lightning will do something similar. I agree with THG that the 2021 retro would be great as their main.
I think my Lightning should keep its current primary logo and overhaul both the away and home uniforms. Even after black was added to them after we fans got on them for leaving said color our for reasons that I'm not clear on, I'm still not a fan of their main design template.
Lighting please make the storm jersey ur third next season
Go Bolts!

Agree, either the new logo or the new shoulder patch would look awesome on the reverse retro…
That's my dream home kit making the 2021 RR's the mains. They're so clean
the all black lightning bolt jersey was sooo fire
The Syracuse Crunch are actually named after the Nestle Crunch bar. When the team came to Syracuse in the early 90s there was a Nestle factory in nearby Fulton and that's where the name came from. The factory since has closed and been demolished but the team name has stuck around
Lord do I wish my Bolts would go back to there original 92 colors.
The Gasparilla jersey's are soooooo good. I wish Tampa would embrace more of the silver
I really like the blue RR and I think it should be the home with the white as the away and the black one as the alternate. Perfect combo. I also like how you have both cup patches because side by side, it really showed how much better the old design was.
Surprised you didn’t show the Gasparilla retro jersey.
I don't believe that one has a retail release yet.
no retail yet but i wish it could be the new brand, this team needs a rebrand

From a Flyers Fan I Agree With U and I Liked The Old Logo The Updated Logo That Shannon Has is Nice Too!

I wish they'd go the panthers route and have a jersey with the shoulder logo on the front. The bolt over Florida is mint.
You need a jersey from Tampa's ECHL affiliate, the Orlando Solar Bears.
I didn’t like it when it was the full time look, but now I miss the Lecavalier era sweaters. Will always hate the Bolts wordmark.
Let’s go BOLTS!
As a Flyers Fan I Like The Old School Lightning Jerseys And The Updated Version of The Logo Is Nice Too!

Pretty sure Espo also hates them being called 'Bolts.'
The black alternative jersey is my favorite. I just like black jerseys, in general.
I do have to 2023 final patch on my white Vegas Stephenson jersey and my red Florida Barkov jersey
The really cool part about their inaugural jerseys (IMHO) was the player name and numbering style. Just super unique.
2021 Reverse Retro with the 2008 short-lived logo on the front would be my perfect Lightning look.
I do like the Lightning Reverse Retro jerseys both RR 1.0 and RR 2.0
tampa bay really needs a purple jersey
lighting in real life looks purple
also it would set them apart from the leafs
As a Lightning fan, I really miss the “Bolts” alternate jerseys. I liked them as an alternate.
The comment section is filled with my fellow Florida men lol 😅
I'm a fan of that colorful shirt, gotta say
Lightning should always be wearing black. The new logo looks the Incredibles
I agree. I like various types of blue, but the Bolts should definitely revert to wearing black for most of their home games.
God I have those two bolts alternate and they are by far my least favorite of my lightning jerseys. Never liked nicknames being on the actual uniform
agreed, finals patch on a Huberdeau jersey would be wrong.... at least for now
I do like the Lightning Stadium Series jersey in Adidas that has BOLTS in big bold letters I thought it was better than the Predators Stadium Series jersey that says SMASHVILLE in big bold letters
Damn, I wanted to see the $5 Kucherov jersey.
What a great fit 👌
I'm not a huge fan of the Lightning's jerseys, they're just not very creative. Except the storm one, that's pretty creative lol

What is the gross value of your hockey jerseys collection? I'm guessing it's got to be over 50K.
The best jersey is their original
Esse time aí lem
THG talking about jersey fouls when the 2021 Reverse Retro has a 2019-2020 Stanley Cup Finals patch on it...
Take care to enunciate when saying "blue bolts."
I hate those Bolts jerseys, very ugly. Not really a fan of the black and silver ones either. I like the jerseys with Tampa bay over the logo and the current ones as well. But the reverse retro are the best and should be their 3rd jerseys at least.
Tampa's current uniforms are some of the most boring and unoriginal jerseys in the league. They need a complete rebrand.
Thank you. Glad I’m not the only one who feels that way.
