I have to admit I kind of like the pirate logo and even the banner with the wheel…

I really like the wheel logo

*sigh*

Imagine going to a deli and wanting their famous turkey club. You go there and order it. And they pop out a meatball sub. Or a Philly cheesesteak. Or a cold chicken sandwich. You keep the ordering the club and they keep on giving you food you didn't even order or flat out make it wrong either missing ingredients or all this extra crap on it and the wrong condiments. But they ask you to still pay for it. And this happens over and over and over again

That's been our jersey situation for a dozen years and every single alternate. I have finally just given up hope

 

[These Are The Days]

A brief history of Lightning alternates

If they're not gonna give us a true retro black then they might as well make the black pirate one official. At least it's cool and original.

 

[LightningStrikes]

The pirate makes too much sense just like 2004 throwbacks. Even as main jerseys / logos. Seriously I have no idea what the guys calling the shots on this are doing.

 

[Felonious Python]

Normies outside the TB bubble aren't going to know what's up with the pirate stuff.

 

[JFleegs]

Pirates sail on the sea where there are storms with lightning, bam! makes sense even to the normies.

 

[Hoek]

Normies outside the TB bubble aren't going to know what's up with the pirate stuff.

This ain't about them

Also I assume they've heard of the Bucs

 

[LightningStrikes]

Normies outside the TB bubble aren't going to know what's up with the pirate stuff.

Pirates of the Caribbean, the Buccaneers, sea storms and lightning - this writes itself though.

Those jerseys went fast, all sold out online in 6 minutes.

Pretty sad when a retail jersey is better and more popular than the actual Lightning third jersey.

 

[aylib]

Snagged one
Anyone else?

 

[JTBF81]

Snagged one
Anyone else?

Yeah, I was able to get one in time.

 

[JFleegs]

I missed it but wasn’t really following the release. How much were they? You know they are going to pop up on eBay double or triple the price.

$230

 

[JTBF81]

$230

Yeah, and considering these are actually made in Canada rather than the Indonesian made versions that Adidas markets as "authentics," they should be higher quality. $230 wasn't a bad price for them imo.

 

[The Gongshow]

I might still grab one of the hats or maybe a t-shirt. 100% getting that bear can cooler!

 

[Hoek]

So many people already wearing these tonight. Guess they got it at the arena earlier today?

 

[Major4Boarding]

Snagged one
Anyone else?

Passed on this one. I have the black one (Hedman)

 

[Master P]

I think this confirms the 3rd jersey leak.

 

[Point21]

ITS HAPPENING!!!!
side note: Matte Helmets?!?!?!?!

 

[These Are The Days]

ITS HAPPENING!!!!
side note: Matte Helmets?!?!?!?!

I'll believe it when I see it. Biggest LMAO of my life that I gotta work all those nights

 

[gn2007]

Someone posted a leak of what it looks on Facebook I'd post it if allowed/interested. I really dig it.
