Brian E Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 yeah, this is absolutely useless. having been at the first two games of the year (and going to the third tonight against the lightning), it's astounding how popular the current home/away set it. for a team that has had a lot of uniform changes over the past decade (traditionals with navy instead of royal to terrible edge template to the current set), it's remarkable how much the the royal absolutely kills any lingering navy. this won't sell in the slightest. if the isles don't tweak this or just scrap it all together, it will be gone as soon as it can be.btw, i was told at the game on monday that these will have centered front numbers underneath the arched script. AND apparently the players like them, thus giving us any even bigger reason why to never let players decide what looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 It isn't a candidate for that title, it is the worst sweater in the NHL. Just terrible.Dallas and Colorado have something to say about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Don't 3rds exist to increase sales? Who is going to buy that?People who want to say that they own the worst jersey in NHL history.Exactly that's why I would buy it I'm sorry......Send me your $150. I have much better things to do with it. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 In fairness, the Thrashers' alt was an original design, and had at least one redeeming aspect in my eyes - the bird head shoulder logos, and the way the sleeve design followed the contour of them. I'd put this as being worse than the Thrashers' dead red threads, especially if the Isles go completely off the rails and throw in that contrasting nameplate.

Personally, they players probably don't care so much about the uniform. Probably more concerned with getting a W and $. Personally, if the Islanders HAD to have a third, I wish they would have just carried over the Navy blue edge as a third, like the Oilers have. While the traditionals knock the navy edge out of the park, I actually liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In and of itself, there's nothing wrong with that.Good idea, flawed execution. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nook Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Those are really, really bad.Everything about them is horrible... I just hope that they don't have the white on black name plate. White name plates look dumb on coloured jerseys (Philly included).The Islanders don't need black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Just when the Isles finally get their home and roads right, they still manage to it up by adding an unnecessary and atrocious third jersey.astounding, isn't it?I would say yes, but this is the Islanders we're talking about.

Using the Oilers is a bad example as their decision to keep the half stripes as a third borders on lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north dakota Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The sad part is that they ripped off the Ducks 3rd jersey template. Woah! You think I'm Cody?

Windstorm Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The original leak with white instead of grey and the lighter shade of blue isn't awful (although not very good), but the version they've decided to go with is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the Oilers is a bad example as their decision to keep the half stripes as a third borders on lunacy.I'm pretty sure the Oilers are obliged to wear the copper/navy monstrosity this year even thought they want to throw it out (much like Florida) because of league regulations (This would be their third change in 4 years, so I guess they have to wait another year until they shelve it to at least keep some consistency) about wearing a jersey for X amount of time before ditching it. Yet somehow the Isles can do it... Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 That's one classy centre ice design.And it won't see action until 2 weeks from today for the Rangers home opener vs. Toronto. It'll be like that for the next 2 seasons as well, w/ the Rangers opening in Europe followed by a west coast swing, and no preseason games at home.The lower bowl was completely re-done this year, concourses are being completely re-done, the upper levels get done next offseason, and those pedestrian bridges follow the season after that.This year though the lower levels will be all new seats, with the upper levels still being the old teal ones. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
