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.

Ummmmm….don’t freak out but, you’re all reading the BOLTS Report right now. It’s only a 3rd jersy, it won’t show up in games that often. Take it for what it really is… just a means of generating revenue. At least it doesn’t say the “NING”!!
Personally I’m still wearing the 06/07 sweater.

Ugh with the “Bolts”. It’s way to cheezy. Now, I like the nickname, but not for the uni. Put “Lightning” or “Tampa Bay” and the new jersey is fine… not great or imaginative, but ok.
Love the blue as the main color though! Wish they’d switch that to their main home color permanently!

Chris, Tampa’s 3rd jersey is far from hideous compared to the Thrashers recent unveiling. Honestly I am surprised it looks this good. I was bracing for the worse but the color scheme seemed to be put together pretty well.

Like the blue, hate the “Bolts”. The problem with it isn’t the nickname itself—sure, pretty much everyone uses it at least occasionally—it’s that it isn’t the name of the team. Putting a nickname as the logo is beyond hokey. Certainly puts some weight behind the “stupid cowboy” accusations, to me. Not to mention the whole “let’s just write a word and call it a logo” is a complete cop-out.
Really like the blue though.

I want laces-dang it.

I think the jersey is kind of cool looking. So what if it says bolts….I am a season ticket holder and I hear the name used all the time at the forum. I think using a nickname for the team is pretty clever if you ask me… GO BOLTS!

those are hideous. I feel bad for the players if they actually have to wear those
