Ark Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I really think it will be a kachina throwback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hopefully kachina style in current color scheme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I'm really not as big on the Kachina set as some are here, but a combination of the current logo and the original set, but with the colours slightly brighter, wouldn't be a bad thing. Certainly better than what they have now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Harry Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think instead of doing a direct throwback the Yotes should cut a few colours. Mainly, I’d remove the hunter green on the shoulders and the purple from shoulder logo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhysicalGraffiti Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Maybe this belongs in the unpopular opinions section, but I really liked the black Coyotes thirds from a few years back: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer the full bodied coyote over the "blind" coyote head they use as their primary. It's really too bad that the Coyotes organization has been such a mess for so many years. I feel like they've had a lot of opportunities to create a solid brand, but they just keep stumbling along. The new thirds will be the first opportunity for the new ownership to put their mark on the brand...here's hoping they make the most of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That full body coyote logo is nothing short of weak and forgettable. There's nothing iconic about it; it's barely an interesting secondary logo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYYNYR Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 @Prince Harry -- aren't you a little busy these days? Bit too busy for message boards and the like, ole mate? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The coyote body is a bad logo but otherwise that uniform was their best. I particularly appreciated the bold choice to use red helmets and breezers with black sweaters and socks, breaking the unofficial rule that black sweaters require black breezers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldconcepts Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Chris from Icethetics has reported on the Islanders' upcoming third jersey... Quote https://www.icethetics.co/jerseywatch/ A confidential source has told me about some details to look for: orange sweater, blue shoulders, and the "NY" crest from the black jersey. Quote https://www.icethetics.co/concepts/2018/5/29/coming-to-the-island This concept from Scott Dempsey — designed almost a year ago, in fact — nearly nailed it. It's orange with the "NY" crest. Just try to imagine blue shoulders instead of blue sleeves and we might be on to something. Stay tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the stripes look good (and has hem stripes) then I could see buying that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 What's the deal with the Islanders and their crappy alternate jerseys if it's going to look like that concept? The best thing I can say about them is that they are not black. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insert name Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 When it comes to alternative jerseys, the Islanders sure have a lot of duds. Are the mid-2000s orange sets their best alternative uniform by default? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Lou Lamoriello running the show the only place those wind up is in the team store, but an orange alternate > black alternate any day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traffic-cone jerseys were garish and poorly thought out. From the unnecessary shoulder yokes to the lazy logo and sock treatment. This was their best alternate jersey. Fix the back numbers and put the primary logo on both shoulders and there's nothing wrong with it. Unpopular opinion: the chrome treatment looks great here (unlike the other Stadium Series logos). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baymenxpac Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The Isles, man. We sure have a colored (no pun intended) history with third jerseys. I think as long as the orange is muted a little bit, it'll work really nicely. Like others have said, the striping will be key. You don't want them looking like traffic cones again out there (even though that was appropriate for last year's defense). And my Isles third uni ranking is: 1) 2014 Stadium Series 2) 2003 orange 3) 2015 black 4) "Wave" (fisherman template with original logo, which was technically an alt before it was a primary) 5) 2012 black The one thing i will say about the 2015 black is that it fixed the 'NY' mark by shortening and rounding it off, where it's elongated and kind of clunky on the stadium series jersey.The '12 black was maybe one of the least inspired and ill-fitting jerseys (identify wise) of all time in any sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
