From the Lightning website (not the picture, though):

The Tampa Bay Lightning will unveil their new third jerseys this Sunday when they take on the New Jersey Devils at 5 p.m. (Sun Sports, WDAE 620 AM).  This is the second time in franchise history the Lightning will don an alternate jersey. The first was unveiled prior to the 1996-97 season.

The third jersey will go on sale in the Tampa Bay area on Monday, November 24.  Any fan who purchases the jersey at their local Champs Sports will also receive two free tickets to a future Lightning game.  TampaBayLightning.com will also host a ‘photo blog’ from team photographer Scott Audette as the Lightning prepare to unveil their new sweaters.

In addition, the first 5,000 fans on November 26 against the New York Rangers will receive a Vincent Lecavalier third jersey t-shirt. 

The Lightning have also unveiled their 2008 Holiday Packs.  The packs include four tickets, a third jersey t-shirt and a Chick-fil-A calendar starting as low as $65.  For more information, or to order a Lightning Holiday Pack, fans should call (813)301-6600 or visiting Tampabaylightning.com.
