0046: Admirals With a Dash of Lightning
The Norfolk Admirals are in the midst of a record run, an insane winning streak. It's not just breaking AHL records, it's breaking records of other sports leagues. So while the Ads continue to mop up anyone who would be dumb enough to face them, how about a couple of concepts? It is Minor League Week, after all. Justin Nahhas has created a set of Admirals uniforms based off the third jersey of their NHL affiliate, the Tampa Bay Lightning.
But that's not all for today. I want to revisit a classic.
This is one of my all-time favorite concept designs. John Quincy King overhauled the Admirals' look to match new Lightning's new look. It was first posted on Icethetics last May, and since we were talking about Norfolk, I thought a reprise was in order.

It's a shame that this may all be for not, as rumors swirl around Tampa not being interested in renewing their affiliation with Norfolk due to the cost of transportation.
As far as the jerseys go, both concepts look decent, but I would really like to see the red dropped in favor of battleship grey on both the home and road sweaters.
I think Minor League teams should have more creative jerseys (since the vast majority of their logos are) instead of replicating the pro teams jersey (especially since the Bolts have fairly horrible jerseys).
