Enjoying the game.

For the XMas I got the royal blue 3rd jersey. It's great, and really sharp looking in person. But it took me until now to notice something very important about the jersey -- something that left me stunned for LITERALLY MOMENTS. THEY CHANGED THE CREST You know, the one that they dared changing in 1995 and caused a fan revolt? Well, here's what the Isles have now. It's on their primary uniforms and all their stuff. ![]() Nice. But HERE is the one they have on their alternate uniforms!!: ![]() Do you see it?!? JUST. ![]() PLAIN. ![]() SHOCKING. ![]() Four stripes! I always assumed these were strips of hockey tape, but there was always just the 3 of them. And this isn't some fluke on my jersey, this is the new design. Surely this paradigm change in Islanders logo must mean something! Maybe it's the new representation of the Isles dynasty to replace the lame shoulder patch. I hope that's the case -- I'd be totally down for a new, more discreet way to remember the 4 Cups. And it wouldn't look completely retarded if they happen to win another and need to put another stripe down (unlike the shoulder patch scheme). And it might also explain the odd wordmark they put on the royal-colored helmets: ![]() ... since they didn't want to bother changing the image for the logos on the helmets? ... Maybe? In any case, it's cool and I like it. Especially if my theory of replacing the shoulder patch turns out to be true. Well, friends, I got a kick out of overreacting to all this pandemonium. Hope you all did too. What do you think of all this? And if they should really make these the primary jerseys next year. |

I wonder if the isles could change the white jerseys to the same throwback'esque style as the darks and make them permanent |

They said they added the extra strip to the stick to represent the dynasty when the jersey came out. I wouldn't mind seeing these as there regulars soon. Sal |

I like these jerseys a lot better than the ugly ones now, but I wish they'd come up with a duller orange color. Edmonton went to copper from bright orange, Pittsburgh went to a light gold from a bright yellow. I don't know, I just can't stand that bright orange color, it's too bold and tacky. I'd like this burnt orange color.

Those third jerseys look awesome. Best looking uniforms in hockey IMO.They are the only positive thing about this season. Hopefully they will be our primary jerseys next year along with road ones that look the same in white. |

Nassau County's colors are tacky too - what can you do when the club incorporates the county's colors? |

Well they changed it from orange-royal blue (Nassau's colors) to orange-dark blue... so I guess it means less? |
