Saw this tidbit in the Trib notebook.. (http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/feb/17/sp-tortorella-expects-greatness/?sports-lightning)
OLD UNIS: For the first time this season, Tampa Bay used its new uniforms, made of the old sweater material.
There were complaints about the new RBK Edge jerseys retaining too much heat and not wicking away the sweat, which ended up soaking players' gloves and skates. Each of the league's other 29 teams had already incorporated jerseys using the old materials, but delays pushed back the Lightning using them.
The jerseys are still more tight-fitting than the old sweaters, but are made from the original materials.
What the hell? How is that fair at all? How did the delays only affect the Bolts?
Probably doesn't matter at all in the scheme of things, but still messed up and sketchy..
