Which jersey concept would you prefer to be the third in Brooklyn?

If they make one nice hat, it will make oodles and oodles of money.

black and white is way too much like the Kings.

I say we keep our colours please

From a marketing standpoint you have to believe they're gonna go with the black and grey with "Brooklyn" written over the chest.

All of the Isles jerseys you listed above were failures because the fanbase never bought into them, hence the reason none of them stuck around long. Sure SOME people bought them, but obviously not enough.

The "Brooklyn" brand, if there even is one technically, doesnt really translate to your average hockey fan who buys a jersey. That "brand" has caché with the hip hop community (which has a lot of crossover with the NBA) and people who actually live in the borough. People outside of those circles dont give a damn about "Brooklyn" as a place, brand, theoretical construct, etc. Hockey is a niche sport as is, without your core audience you're screwed.

Do the LAK jerseys appeal to the hip hop crowd? The Raiders crowd? Because the Kings try to bring back the purple/yellow ones but they don't sell b/c those are Lakers colors/identity. Hence, why the Kings after years of trying to move away from that Gretzky Black/white that became adopted by the hip hop crowd and use purple as much as possible they have essentially gone back to black and white without a so-called hip hop crowd despite winning a SC recently.

On the Brooklyn name - it has a ton of worldwide cache outside the sports world. I like how people here want the Brooklyn bridge as some logo but are against actually using the name on a Third jersey.

A black jersey with the Brooklyn Bridge & a sickle would suffice.

[Bones45]

how about a BK third jersey of a pissed off LI Isles fan stuck in traffic or train on the logo?

LOL

OMG.. that would be ****ing epic.

(not trying to beat a dead horse, I truly think that would be awesome.) Any good photoshoppers out there? -- can make me one and hook me up?

Not bad but I bet they go with BROOKLYN in block letters not script.

Nice the way it is.. in dodger script... just add the current islander patch on one of the shoulders and you have yourself a real nice jersey !

I'm not sure what your arguing here? That hockey fans like black and white?

 

[Isles Junkie]

Showed my son 9yrs old son and his friends the black-white, grey, version jersey w. isle logo, and they went bonkers over it... That should tell you everything that you need to know..

But I already knew kids are stupid & don't know what the heck they're talking about?

 

[SI90]

I wonder if the third jersey will be mostly Black or Mostly White???

 

[Isles Junkie]

They should make 2 nice hats

1 with a Script Brooklyn in black & white

and for the actual Islanders fans they should have a black hat with the Islanders Script (in white) we had on our helmets a few years back.

 

[Bert Marshall days]

Sweet!

 

[PK Cronin]

Am I the only one who hates that Islanders script that was on their helmets? I can't stand it.

 

[doublechili]

That's great! One issue though: it would have to be a dark jersey (reverse the black and white) since it will be used at home only. The other change I'd make would be to have a different patch on one shoulder (a "B" logo for use on hats, etc.). But it's really nice looking and has a historical precedent. The irony is that the Americans moved around the NY metro area too, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[islesfan186]

there def doing black and white...it has been confirmed....

link?

Why...why....whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy with the black and white. So damn ugly! Freakin LA Kings East. Blue and Orange is a great color combo and yet people want a black jersey. I thought the isles would be smart enough to realize that black is just awful after these current 3rd abominations

black and white is way too much like the Kings.

10000% agree

Because it sells.

Do a quick search on what happened when the Raiders changed to Black and White.

That why the Nets chose it? anyone know that rationale?

White lettering on a black jersey would look better anyway. Though, I'm not crazy about the "Brooklyn" lettering going diagonally across the front.

And screw the Americans for that matter. Why does this team with it's already rich history need to associate themselves with a team that hasn't existed in 67 years and failed to make the playoffs 12 of the 19 seasons they existed? And it should also be noted, a team that was only the "Brooklyn Americans" for one season (their last) and that never actually played in Brooklyn.

I don't get the hatred for a third jersey. People are reacting as if this is the confirmed report of the change of our main jersey. The sole purpose of the third jersey is marketing dollars. It's for jersey sales. And these things will sell, as we've seen with the Nets.

Money is good for this team...

change the black to blue and it would be awesome
