Brian E Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thanks God!The Edge jerseys suck, the navy blue sucks. Any Isles uniform post-1994 is god awful. I am very, very excited this team is returning to its roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH42XCC Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Any Isles uniform post-1994 is god awful.Except, of course, the ones they used to wear from 1998-99 to 2006-07.But then again, the Islanders current 3rd jerseys look WAAAAY better than their current primary jerseys.

GuitarPunk2512 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 NHL needs to go back to white at home. the isles need to switch back to the CCM jerseys before the crappy edge style came in. actually, every team should go back to the CCM jerseys before the whole lockout/ edge takeover.

The edge jerseys that need to change are the ones with repetitive and often boring patterns. The teams who used enough creativity during that oppurtunity for change can keep what they have.Also it's really funny how you and the preceding 2 posters have the exact same avatar!

Gothamite Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 But then again, the Islanders current 3rd jerseys look WAAAAY better than their current primary jerseys.And that, I think, is the relevant point.Are the current alts the best sweaters the team has ever worn? No. But the current primaries are so awful, and the alts so much closer to the best they've worn, that this is an instant upgrade.I'll give the Islanders credit - only the 49ers are more willing to admit when they've made a uniform mistake and then correct it.

ferrousoxide66 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I do prefer the lace-up uniforms: They really need to ditch the curved hemlines - Guerin looks like he's wearing a diaper.Yep, and the non-connecting sock stripes.That poor lassie, she's freezing her navel ring off!

Waleslax Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Finally! Oh, and if you've ever read the Islanders lease with the County, it is debilitating for them to leave. There is no escape clause; they flat out can't leave without the County's approval. Plus, the County approved the arena, just not the Lighthouse project.Sorry, I just get a little hot under the collar about the Islanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why they ever would have signed it in the first place, but you're right. It would be nearly impossible for the Isles to break the lease before 2015 IIRC.However, Nassau County gave their approval for the entire lighthouse project. It is the Town of Hempstead who has yet to approve the lighthouse project but has approved an arena. Too many redundant layers of government in New York State in general and in Nassau County in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 They better come out with a white version of the jersey as well. I hate when teams have 2 seperate templates (like Minnesota) beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix it up a bit.In an age when you can find your team playing on the road at least once a week on tv this argument loses all merit. Colours at home is the way to go. It allows for the home crowd to see alternates without throwing off the road team's uniform arrangements. Plus white one the road is apparently easier on the equipment managers.

I live right down the block from the coliseum and it would ruin the area. A new arena would be fine but Wang is just getting greedy with the lighthouse.

Burmy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I say BRING BACK THE FISHERMAN! (I know I am in the deep minority here, but I actually liked the image overhaul-plus that was a kick-azz alternate logo!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The lighthouse secondary was outstanding and ought to be brought back as a shoulder patch in the current colors. The fisherman was a great idea but poor execution. The rest of that overhaul was awful. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
