I like these jerseys but dont really like fauxbacks in general. Why are most winter classic jerseys fauxbacks? Its not like the teams in the winter classic dont already have tons of throwbacks to choose from. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the whole "City, State" thing on the bill really falls off when you get things like "Glendale, AZ" "Sunrise, FL" "Raleigh, NC". The Islanders' says "Brooklyn, NY" I give them props for not putting "Tampa Bay, FL" on the visor. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think what may be lost on some non-NY-based fans here is that the Islanders are playing just 29 of their 41 home games next season (and only 21 apiece the two seasons after that) at Barclays Center. The other 12 (and 21 the subsequent two seasons) will be back at Nassau Coliseum. This is while the team awaits construction of their new arena in Elmont, NY at Belmont Park, which is in Nassau County, back towards where the Coliseum is. There's a real hate-hate relationship with fans and Brooklyn, Barclays Center management (which also now runs Nassau Coliseum), and the Brooklyn-based arena itself. All the joys of being a fan of this franchise. So that's why it can chafe some Isles fans. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prince Harry 246 Posted June 11, 2018 Chicago should use the striping of their red jersey if they use a black third again. It is the much superior striping pattern and will look much better than the mediocre black thirds they had before. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
insert name 5,171 Posted June 11, 2018 I think the old black jerseys will benefit from the outline around the head like they had before. These were real nice. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could these hats be telling us which 3rd jersey's are coming? Maybe, but probably not. But... Philly in black (known 3rd change) Sharks & Blackhawks in black (obvious 3rd rebirth) Dallas, NJ & Ottawa in black --- maybe? Capitals, Oilers & Panthers in Navy --- maybe/likely? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkeypower 3,109 Posted June 12, 2018 I don't think the Blackhawks red template is good for the inverted colours. Here's a quick concept of the red and black switching (spoilered for space) and I don't think it really works because I don't like the look of the red and white together on the hem.

Easily some of the worst embroidery on hats I have ever seen. The logos are bulbous and childlike. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d wager it’s just a choice, I don’t know if any of the hat colours signal any jersey details. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cardsblues02 674 Posted June 13, 2018 I’d like to see the Blue Jackets use the cannon on a red jersey. Other alternates on my wish list. Kochina Coyotes Black Stars or MNS throwback 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
