The Tampa Bay Lightning released their new look for the 2011-2012 season, and I gotta be honest, these blow. The Washington Capitals have more exciting practice jerseys than this. I don’t understand how anyone could have looked at this and thought, “Yes, this is a great look for our team that looks nothing like the Toronto Maple Leafs.”

Look, I get that they want to look more “traditional,” but why? This team was founded in 1992. It’s barely legal, and not even old enough to drink beer. Put down your mother’s makeup, Tampa Bay Lighting. You’ll be a woman of your own someday…

But yeah, that jersey is too bland to even be horrible. And yet it’s still horrible.
