Bolt is not a synonym for lightning, it is part of a longer name.
And to Out Of The Cube: lots of people call them the Bolts, including sportscasters (and me, fwiw).
Really like that jersey - nice and clean

Lightning and lightning bolt are no more synonyms than flames and fire (not all lighting is a lightning bolt). It would be equally as dumb if we put Fire across our jersey.
And I have also heard sportscasters call the Panthers "cats" before.
The point is, it is not their name. It would be equally as dumb if the Canadiens wrote "Habs" across their crest, but probably more appropriate.
