WHY IS THE SHOULDER PATCH NOT ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY

Agreed. That would be incredible. I wouldn’t even mind the baby blue.
My thoughts exactly. The shoulder patch is actually creative and shows personality. At this point they should just wear the normal home jersey and save themselves the embarrassment
I’m from the evil empire of Sunrise and even I have to agree. This should have been on the front of your jersey!
This!! That patch is so cool!!
I think the patch should be the main logo on these.
At least we don’t have the bruins jerseys. My goodness those are ugly. At least they’re different tho
bingo!!!
How do you design a crest this fun and then put TBL on the front????? Absolutely insane
The TBL on the front is the one thing that just really sucks about it.
Cause its a shoulder patch?
I think we are all with you on this one.
The TBL could have been “Lightning” and that would have been better I think.

That would have been dope!
Holy shit that would be so much better!
I’m beginning to believe that skull is that of Harry Potter.
That’s dope. I’m getting some Grateful Dead vibes.
The same reason why the Gaspy beads are INSIDE THE COLLAR WHERE NO ONE CAN SEE.
So many design choices with this jersey that make no sense.
I noticed the broadcast team said this was a design created jointly by the Lightning, the NHL, and Fanatics, and it definitely shows that this was a design by committee. I suspect that the NHL vetoed all of the more creative ideas and the shoulder patch was the “acceptable” compromise.
