A Storm is Brewing!

After the finish of the 2003 season, a second team moved out of New Jersey. The Saints left after two seasons in 1989 for the Island at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The Storm left after the completion of the 2003 NLL season by relocating to Anaheim, CA becoming the second team to move west of the Mississippi River. This was following the Albany Attack moving shortly beforehand. Owned by infamous NBA star Jayson Williams, the team struggled as he was acquitted of manslaughter charges against him mid-season in 2004. The expenses from the court case may have been the cause for Williams to suspend financial operations after the following season. The team still has not returned to the league.

Could these work for the Tampa Bay Lightening or Tampa Bay Storm?

I personally have only seen the lighter blue colored (road?) jerseys when they were in New Jersey hand hadn't yet switched to the darker blue . . . they were okay jerseys. The blue jerseys here might be the best in the set. The font is actually what Ryan at HJC arbitrarily chose as the font for his blog's jerseys. but the way I added the number to the front helps give the set a little bit of character. Notice that Casey Powell's first initial is above and not adjacent to his last name, this was an effort to bring more originality and/or uniqueness to the concept. That wraps up this series, which will be soon posted as a GIF file on the Portfolio page. That goes for any of the other series. This change is being made to accommodate for more space to display images. Well that's it for now, come back tomorrow!
