Hockey Fans & Photoshop, Part 1: TBL
Monday · May 14 · 2007 | 11:04 PM PDTI'm sure that by now, everyone who's interested has seen the fan-made artwork, predicting the potential new looks for teams all over the NHL next season. The introduction of the Rbk EDGE uniforms has propeled that, and just in case you haven't seen it, I'm going to re-post all of the images here over the next few weeks in a series I like to call — "Hockey Fans & Photoshop" — so I hope you enjoy it. And if you've already seen them, well good for you.
Without further ado, I present to you — the Tampa Bay Lightning, of course. I have to get things started with my team, you know.
I'm a big fan. I thoroughly hate the current Lightning uniform and this rendition is miles away from that. I would like a new logo, however. The whole lightning bolt in a circle just isn't doing it for me.
Hey, while I'm thinking of it, I've got something for you. See that goofball pencil sketch to the right? That pathetic chicken scratch was my feeble attempt at showing what could be done with the logo. Ignore the hockey stick in the background though, I don't think it really works. But notice how I worked in the "T" and the "B" all subtle-like? Yeah, clever, I know.
Anyway, maybe something a little different is what my Bolts need for better aesthetics. I won't buy a jersey until we get a good one. New logo, new uniforms, and I'd even add another color. I like the blue, black and silver — but what about tossing in a dark green or a yellow or something. Liven that sucker up! That's what I say!
But who cares what I say right? More tomorrow.

I love all of the "jerseys" that have been supposedly found out. But the only problem I have with images such as the Lightning one is the fact that, according to Bettman, there are not going to be any 3rd jerseys next year. So what's with the alternate???
Thanks so much for your comment! Yeah, like I said this is all fan artwork. They aren't the actual uniforms — some of which haven't even been designed yet. This stuff is just for fun. The reason for getting rid of third jerseys — temporarily — for next season probably has to do with the fact that they're introducing an entirely new system. We should get used to the new uniforms EVERY TEAM will be wearing before we start introducing alternates.
HA!
hey I really want to start making concepts but I cant figure it out, please help!
