If so, I will have to respectfully disagree. As for the substance, I know I am in a very small minority in saying this, but I really like the Fisherman. It was used on really ugly uniforms, but something about the scowling guy in his foul weather gear actually works for me, believe it or not. I also like the "view from below" perspective of the wordmark and the hockey goal.

spyboy1 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The true height of studliness;The Gorton's Fisherman jersey is so, so, so, so much better than their current third jerseys it should be brought back as their alternate jersey right now.

Gothamite Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The Gorton's man sucked but I liked the lighthouse secondary logo. Agreed. Re-color it for the current scheme, and they should put it on the shoulders. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I don't think the Islanders fisherman logo was ugly at all. I think it's a very good logo.But it was a very good logo with two huge problems:1. People associated the Islanders with the old logo. Association with fans is what it's all about.2. You expected to be seeing fish sticks instead of a hockey team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I through this together - a comparison of the original lighthouse secondary logo, and a newly recolored one that uses the current Blue and Orange, but changes the Teal (they called it "Atlantic Green") and Metallic Silver to a Light Blue and Light Gray: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Lighthouse: good.Fisherman: beardy. and bad.I like the simplicity of the current jerseys.

I found the "real" version...I'll modify it and replace those images with the correct versions...EDIT: it's fixed now. Also just noticed that the logo at the top of this thread is also a "trace" job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I also liked the Fisherman logo and jersey. If I wasn't a poor college student at the time of the Islanders using that jersey I would have ordered one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The worst was when they tried to make everyone happy by slapping the traditional NY Long Island logo on the fishsticks jerseys. Stupid thing that was...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skatman22 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm from LI and i actually enjoyed the Fisherman logo and jersey...i have a home and away one and still wear them to the games....the worst was when they put the original logo back on those jereseys cause that just didn't Work...!!!

IceCap Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I liked the fisherman logo. The jersey desighn was ugly. If the striping pattern of those jerseys were simpler it would have been perfect.

Wow if that took you 2 minutes to read, you must have some serious reading issues to work out.other than that the gorton's sucked and lighthouse good, but would be better with different colors, preferably using current set, not the light blue more associated with Rangers.
