VIDEO: Lightning players pranked by fake palm tree jerseys
Eric Bolte / USA Today
The Tampa Bay Lightning will reveal a new third jersey on Saturday, and the players got a sneak peek ahead of the official announcement.
Little did they know these are not the sweaters they'll be wearing.
It's a shame this was a prank, considering the Lightning would have become the first team since the 2008-09 Florida Panthers to wear jerseys featuring palm trees.
