Idea for 3rd Jersey

Has there ever been something considered where the words "Long Island" are on the front of the uniform? Maybe some kind of tribute to the old LI Ducks that played before our beloved Isles joined the NHL?

Honestly, I hope next season the Islanders go to the royal blue, traditional jerseys full time and they NEVER change the jerseys ever again. When you go to an Islander game, it is so embarassing to see 50 different types of Islander jerseys. Do we really need ANOTHER one?

Isn't the fact that Long Island is actually on the logo enough?


ytf do we need to "honor" the Ducks? We already have those stupid stripes on the shoulder to "honor" the dynasty. Can we honor the seaguls that annoy us at Jones Beach as well?

For a fanbase that is so sensitive to jerseys, I hear way too much talk about new designs. Haven't we had enough retarded jerseys over the last 15 years?

Give me the cup years' jerseys.

Not sure there's a more elementary decision than to go with those.

BINGO :thumbsup:

Remember...all this "short bus" crap started when we got rid of the "cup winning" jerseys in 95 and it has looked like we are wearing 5th grade art projects ever since

I went to the first game with the current 3rd Jersey, and have seen every game since..those Jerseys are pretty sharp looking.

You'll have to wait to wait for the cups, but we might as well look the best we've ever looked in the process.

One really has nothing to do with the other.

this is a little off topic but did anyone notice the third jersey helmets? it actually spells out the word "Islanders" instead of the normal symbol sticker. I admit that I wasn't even born during the dynasty era, but did those Islanders have the word on their helmets or are stickers a modern trend?

My hope, dream and wish is that they go back to the cup uniforms as the regulars and keep the current 3rd jersey as the 3rd jersey..

No. the sticker on the helmet in the glory days was not the word written in script. It was a sticker of the Isles logo on the helmet.

Gotta admit, I really don't like that. Should be the logo on the helmet but I'm not going to nitpick.

The Isles should definitely make this year's third jersey the permanent next year and forever. Then next year the third jersey should be the fisherman with that ugly seafoam green addition and the stupid looking wave at the bottom. That'll show them all!

The Fisherman jersey belongs in the same place with Ranger jersey's.
