Tampa Bay Lightning Players Fooled By Fake Jersey Prank (Video)

The Tampa Bay Lightning are among the NHL teams that will be adding a third jersey this season. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers already have revealed theirs, and the Lightning are set to debut theirs Saturday.

The Bolts got a sneak peek of them, and the overall thought was “too many palm trees.”

Fortunately for those who believed this jersey was a “Christmas sweater with palm trees,” it’s not too late to change them … and this was all a prank.

So far, the Florida Panthers have been the only NHL team to sport palm trees.
