New York Islanders: Reverse Retro Jersey: Fisherman is back!

[Mr Misunderstood]

Could have been worse, could have been better.

Whatever

Now bring back this horn:

It could've been so much better, they really dropped the ball on this one.

The Sharks and Kraken have cornered the market on teal and Adidas probably got direction from the NHL/Islanders to shy away from the color because of that.

Still, the concept with Barzal above is better and more teal would have been better. It definitely could have been worse though.

I wish it was these...

Not sure if serious, that’s the worst NHL jersey… ever.

Looks like aqua fresh purchased advertising on the jerseys.

Love it, pre-ordered

 

[The Wahligator]

These are nice as hell, wish there was a little more teal though. I’m sure they’ll sell quite nicely.

 

[GOLFWANG]

what is that design on the bottom...it looks like me trying to draw a straight line when was I 5 and still now.

 

[Big L]

What the hell is the fascination with teal here?? Teal has no place on any isles uni.

 

[gordie43]

Is the lighthouse on the jersey? When they originally came out that was the only part of the jersey everyone seem to like.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

The diagonal stripe seems as if half the room wanted the wavy stripe, the other half wanted a straight stripe and there was no tiebreaker vote allowed

 

[Lights911]

I don't mind it.

 

[Hunn]

Not bad, but I won't buy it for sure.

 

[PK Cronin]

For those of you wanting a closer look, here are a few images. I didn't notice the teal in the stick at first. It looks a lot better close up because the colors are really popping out but I think it could've been better still.

[The Lighthouse]

Could be worse, but absence of the lighthouse is a bit puzzling. Not bad overall.

Funny, but if they did that jersey with the regular round "NY" logo on the front I'd vote it as the team's best 3rd jersey ever, like by far. The view from the back is great. I'm just turned off by the clashing of the straight "Islanders" text in the front logo and the other curvy lines. But I think it will sell well overall.

BTW, do you all know that the original Isles' jersey was designed by Roy Boe's wife (who was a fashion designer) and had a green and black color scheme? I've never seen a depiction of it (maybe doesn't exist anymore) but would love to....

Looks like she pitched a design but it was rejected because the politicians wanted blue and orange. I'd love to see that concept as well, f***ing politicians ruin everything.

Makes sense they'd want the Nassau colors, I guess. I remember talk of naming the team the Long Island Ducks. I kind of wish they did that, actually. But then Anaheim wouldn't have a team!

I agree, there was a rush job happening with everything surrounding this team at the time it seems. They could've benefitted from more time.

Thats my biggest gripe. I would have loved a royal blue instead of the navy blue as well. Overall id give them a solid B.

Quickly done, but something like that?

 

[Silent Cal]

I’ve never seen a team f*** up every jersey assignment given to them like ours. This includes our current home jerseys.

The striping on these RRs are a complete fail. So many great ideas out there…

 

[NYI365]

Very crude quick Photoshop done but the addition of lighthouse shoulder patches makes this look complete imo. I'll probably end up buying a few patches and putting em on mine when I purchase one.

Yeah - with the colors a match I'd like that. I get that they're trying to do something different though....
