Old School Fool Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I whipped this up quickly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardname Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Like someone else mentioned, I never really had a problem with the logo. I really liked the "Islanders" font. If anything, I would have add a fourth (orange) "swoosh" at the bottom for the four cups, just like they now have on their shoulders.But the unis were horrible.. the waves.. the font.. too many colors.. horrible. Even when they put the "classic" logo back on, it still didn't work. Hmm.. I wonder what the fisherman logo would look like on a current jersey?

charger77 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 If the Islanders were a brand new expansion team that logo and jersey combo would have worked. However, they were an established team, with one of the best dynasties that the game has ever seen along with a slew of hall of famers, thats why the logo and jersey didnt work.Isles fisherman jerseyDan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albanian Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 My problem with that logo wasn't so much the fisherman itself but rather that stupid clunky "ISLANDERS" in front of it. It's so incredibly busy looking and is what made it look so minor league. If it was just the fisherman in front of the net with no busy clunky word type in front of it, it would have been an alright logo. But I do agree that the wave effect on that jersey is absolutely hideous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 There was so much wrong with that jersey. The clunky typeface, the waves... ugh.I still love the lighthouse logo, though. If it was recolored, it would look great on the shoulders of the current jerseys. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

dutyfree Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Are you kidding me? I mean, come on, look at that fisherman's face. Utterly hilarious. It's like a parody of Moby Dick. And where, exactly, are the teeth in relationship to the rest of his face? Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyersHockey1967 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Back on Sunday when the Sabres played the Flyers, there was a side shot of Conklin and when his head moved, the red eye of the slug just lit up. It's a nice effect, and in your words, it's probably the best that slug will look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the one in the middle is shorter than the other two.

Bigboy1083 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I just noticed something about Dubie's helmet, the Fisherman has his stick up higher and I think it looks better. It also looks like he's spearing something. Thanks KaTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
