For the second time in Lightning franchise history, the team will incorporate a third jersey into the fold starting this season. While the logo, which incorporates the team’s nickname “Bolts’’ across the chest, had been leaked on the Internet earlier this summer along with the deep blue colored jersey.
But the pictures below appear to be the mock-up version of the new jersey from Reebok, the league’s official jersey supplier, even though “Lecavalier’’ is misspelled. While a team official confirmed that a third jersey is expected to be unveiled at some point this season, the Lightning would neither confirm nor deny that the blue jersey with ‘‘Bolts” across the chest are the new alternate uniforms.

Love the colors.
LOve the design.
Not sold on the Bolts. I agree it should say Tampa Bay (arched) across the chest

actually the jerseys worn buy the TECO Energy “bolt brigade” from 2002-7 (they changed it last season) would have made an excellent 3rd jersey if you take the corporate stuff off. it was black with what looked to be a thunderstorm occurring over downtown. the lightning strikes looked authentic (i.e. thin) not cartoonnish as they always have on the normal jerseys.

I would rather it said ‘Nuts’ vs. ‘Bolts’. Like the blue, but the name “bolts” is tihs.

Has anyone looked at the fact that we now have a Junior Hockey team that is called the Tampa Bay Bolts? The Bolts team plays at the Ellenton Ice Rink. Their sweaters already look very similar to the Lightning sweaters. It is hard to believe the big boys would want to wear sweaters that resemble those worn by a Juniors team. Maybe the new people in charge are not clued in to the local stuff.

I like the 3rd jersey even though I have an original 3rd and still wear it everytime I make the trip to a game. Personally I agree on 1 thing.. I would have had it rather say Tampa Bay and not Bolts.
I will buy 1 of these though most likely. I do like it.
Go BOLTS

I like the retro feel, but Bolts? Kinda cheesy.
Posted by Stacey, St. Pete on 10/10 at 01:04 PM
Hm. I like it. Like the colors and everything.

What’s up with crappy jerseys the last couple years. This is hideous, as is Atlanta’s 3rd jersey, Vancouver’s main jersey & Dallas’s home jersey. Spelling out your your team’s name or city on the front of your jersey is just lame unless you are the Rangers. Come up with a cool new logo or something. We’re the Lightning for crying out loud… it’s a very visual name and lends itself to all kinds of cool logos. I like the color of this jersey though. I’m really getting tired of black jerseys.

I don’t know if I am in a minority here, but I loved the original 3rd jersey. I have tried for years to try to find one to buy. So I wish this 3rd jersey would be something a little more unique. I do like the new color scheme, but boring looks.

Forget it !!!
We are the Lightning not the bolts!!!

The colors I like, the word bolts, not so much. I mean the new logo with florida and the two toned lightning bolt would have looked better. Just my two cents.
Will be interesting to see how many of them sell when they go down to the bargain bin.

Very AHL, but nice color. It would look nice as a t-shirt, but not a jersey. Carolina has a really nice third this year. Doesn’t say “CANES”.

I’m with Patie - bring on the laces!!

I like it. I also really like the fact it says Bolts. It’s different, what’s wrong with that?
Much better than our regular jerseys I think.
The border on the sleeves and bottom is a good throw back to our original sweater, I miss it on the new ones..

I’m sorry but they could’ve had a real good thing here but they have failed miserably. I have seen some third jerseys gone wrong before but putting a nickname on the front is a whole new low…at least they decided to leave out the stormy waters and streaking yellow lightning bolts this time. At least they couldve gone with the teams secondary logo that just shows the Bolt over FL, I think that wouldve looked much better on those blue jerseys. But what I really wouldve loved to see wouldve been the original “Lightning” logo with a new RBK jersey styling…

BOLTS come on are they joking? If it only read LIGHTNING or TAMPA BAY it would look awesome.Bolts is just to kiddie.
Posted by Adam Locascio, Land O Lakes, FL on 10/09 at 09:24 PM
I hate the jersey re-design. I like this though. Much better.
Posted by Mark, Lutz, FL on 10/09 at 09:04 PM
I agree, the Bolts need to use this color scheme as their home jerseys. I can’t stand the black, its as bland as the team is currently playing. Inject some life in the team with this being our home jersey all season, make black the alternate. But…. Please use Lightning and not Bolts…Go Bolts and Rays
Posted by Paul Homer, st. pete on 10/09 at 07:51 PM
Love it
Awesome
GO BOLTS!

With Martian St Louie, Vinnie Propeller, and Chris Gratin joining Leeavalier, we should have a great team regardless of their names are spelled on their jerseys.
