Lightning Unveil New Logo, Fans Have Urges to Go to Truck Pulls and Get Skynard Tatoos

Kudos to WufPirate and the folks over at Carolina on Ice for breaking this story. They really made a great find. On the heels of signing Prospal, Roberts and Malone today the Lightning have also decided to unveil their new logo that will hit the ice this season. It's a tribute to their illustrious coach, Barry Melrose. The logo was unveiled at a press conference late this evening and, sadly, Barry did not dye his hair blue, white and black to go along with it. We can only hope.

Already, the influence of the logo is being felt throughout the Tampa community. The many encouraging moves made by the team this off-season have sparked interest from their fans and this one is no different. At this hour, fans are fully embracing it by going to NASCAR races, trying out for the television show 'Cops', buying Pabst Blue Ribbon, listening to the song 'Sweet Home Alabama' on repeat, letting their cars rust in their front yard, letting their cars rust in their backyard, going shirtless to work, and giving birth to twenty children prior to the age of fifteen.

  2. Barry's hair seems to be going white all on it's own. So he's just missing a little blue.

  3. Just stumbled across your blog today. As a Tampa Bay resident and huge Lightning fan, I just wanted to say that I find your commentary regarding our area and our hockey to be highly offensive and defamatory.

    Oh who am I kidding, it's f*cking hilarious. Seriously, I got a good laugh out of this, keep it up.
