Why did they go away from their original logo back in 1992?

Not sure, but here's a few things I found

**** Quotes from above article ****
"The local fans in the Tampa Bay area hated it."
"Whatever your opinion is, it would appear that what CEO Tod Leiweke, GM Steve Yzerman and owner Jeffrey Vinik set out to do - implement a classy, clean and clear mark to represent the Lightning franchise on and off the ice - has been achieved"

Sorta on topic:
I've got the unfortunate happenings of watching the Jacksonville Jaguars stink these days. Denver is next too, oh boy.....
It's bad enough we stink, but our new 2 tone helmet paint job is beyond terrible. https://news.sportslogos.net/2013/08/10/pics-jaguars-new-gradient-helmet-debuts/ Jags have such great colors too, and a flat black helmet would've rocked with their Cat logo. Oh well....


Lightning's regular season thoughts
Great game last night Pittsburgh. That was a tough one to lose in those final 20 seconds or so, and 1 point would've be nice from the Lightning's great effort. But that's how it goes sometimes in Hockey & Life. Pitt fans, your team showed some awesome resiliency last night on the road. They were rewarded with a hard fought win. Kudos....
