The blue, black and white of the Lightning is actually a nice look but I think the crest could have been a little bit more creative and menacing. A single wide lightning bolt seems simplistic. What kind of designs could incorporate multiple strikes? The more offensive design is “BOLTS” across the front. Was there a really important meeting someone had to get to after this was settled on? It seems rushed. And I am not a big fan of the diagonal name on the front. I don’t care what font you use, it doesn’t look good. Not on the Lightning. Not on the New York Rangers. Not on any jersey.
