The original, and easily our best ever. Still wear my 1993 Hamrlik jersey, and it still looks that good, save for the crease in the logo from the year in college I didn't have a closet.

My ideal would be this jersey but with the current logo and shoulder patches (and those revised with heavy silver accenting).

I have a lot of love for the old logo, but the current is just so much cleaner. Plus the old one isn't to Bucco Bruce levels of awesome or anything.

I liked the reverse retros but I wish they would wear those classics again.

Can we get a name and numbers on those or is it just blank?

Great article on Tampa working towards hosting an outdoor game

No way, that Tampa jersey is easily the best in the shot. Nords jersey just looks sloppy, in part because it's four sizes too big.

There hasn't been a drone video in a while, so I went looking for WST vids and found some elevator enthusiasts. Happ Boi Elevators and Elevator Man60. Their channels have more videos of them trying the elevators of Water Street.

I saw some people on Reddit saying we were doing away with the black thirds next year. Anyone know if there’s truth to that? I know we are doing reverse retros again but I wouldn’t think that would matter too much

i sure hope not I’ve finally come around to them and recently bought my step-son one. I wouldn’t put much weight into anything the employees at the team store say about not stocking up on them.

Is it a supply chain issue?

There were a few ECHL teams this season that didn't get their novelty jerseys on time (Orlando included) and had to postpone/workaround promotional nights.

The Chicago-based fintech firm CoinFlip will open a new office and cryptocurrency learning lab in the Water Street Tampa District.

“Not only is Tampa an engineering hub, but we are also quickly becoming a center for all things crypto..."

“One of the things that’s hard for people to grasp is Bitcoin is decentralized, there’s isn’t a bank or government consumer protection,” Weiss said. “We will provide education on how the blockchain works by showing demonstrations and teaching people to make sure they are being smart and don’t invest more than they are willing to use. The center will almost be like the Genius Bar at Apple.”

so are you investing, or are you using it? Why the ATMs?

Calling them the Strikers seems kind of wrong considering the Tampa Bay Rowdies' old traditional rival (now unfortunately defunct) was the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers.

What makes you think that?

I’m so happy for the Uber rich.

That would be the perfect time to do a jersey redesign

I don't really see a connection between the two, other than the new company liking the sales.

Changing the manufacturer has usually triggered a few redesigns. We'll never see the wide-spread changes we saw with Reebok, but it makes sense for teams since they have to re-inventory with the new jerseys anyways.

With that being said, I don't see us changing our main uniforms until the current core is gone.
