New York Islanders Third Jersey Unofficially Revealed

[tp49]

Are there any real lighthouses in Uniondale/Hempstead?

No but cross the wrong guy in either and you can get "lit up" as Hempstead is arguably the most dangerous and worst place on Long Island. There are more on the north shore than the south shore but the south shore ones are more impressive (Fire Island and Montauk).

My biggest beef with the above jersey is that it makes no attempt at representing an Islander or even imagery indicative of an island.

However, it does represent the team. Now they can look almost as bad as they play.

[Evil Doctor]

Ladies and gentlemen of the CCSLC, we have a new worst jersey in the NHL. As per Icethetics, this is what the new Islanders third jersey will look like.

We got our first glimpse at the Isles' new third jersey when a prototype design was leaked recently by a former team employee. But I've recently been made aware of some new details and can confirm this is what the final version looks like.

OMG! MY EYES! MY EYES!

This is even worse then the concept prediction that was made months ago...

They really need to move this team just to get rid of this monstrosity...

...and to stop using the Necronomicon for it's design concepts...

At what point in time did the Islanders think that adding black and gray was a good idea?

At what point in time did the Islanders think that adding a newer template to match a retro home/away was a good idea?

At what point in time did the Islanders think that the college/HS name plate is cool?

At what point in time did the Islanders think that the the Flyers name plate is the wave of the future?

That's what I'm wondering.

i agree with you guys on no more script fonts. just tried a different look based on the seeming insistence from the isles on using a wordmark. so here's the revision.

so that took what? all of an hour and change for us to come up with something better? not to mention the insanely good work that far exceeds mine that is located right here on our concept boards. pretty freakin' lazy of the islanders.

and just to address what Brass97 said: yes, the fisherman might be cool to designers and even some islanders fans who appreciated the uniqueness of the jersey, but it's pretty detested by the majority of the fan base and represents some incredibly dark days. but as far as not listening to fan feedback and going off what marketers have to say...well...

that assumes that marketers have the best intentions for the team's individual merchandising sales at heart. which, as reebok has proven by trying to force the same crummy template on the majority of teams in the league, isn't true. why would you listen to any marketer that tells you once your entire fan base pleads for the return of the traditional uniforms and colors and you give them to them to much delight, you should create a mish mash jersey of some terrible corporate-inspired template? the thing is: the team ends up listening to "us" in the end anyway, because we vote with our wallets. if it's not moving, it'll be retired within a few years. if it is selling, it'll be kept, despite the fact it doesn't fit in with the aesthetic of the brand.

id love this if they use this as thier third, just add the name plate and its perfect. what the hell are they thinking using black?

True, Roosevelt and my beloved Freeport too, but Hempstead is still worse.

Ha.

Seriously though, those Islanders unis are disgusting. Do you think they could go the Stars/College direction, putting uni numbers under the woordmark?

since there is no alpha-numerics on the jersey in the picture, my guess is they are going to put numbers under the wordmark.

I wish the high school/college fad of wordmark and number on the front would die.

My God that jersey sucks!

That is the suckiest piece of suckage that ever sucked!

You can combine all the porn stars and vacum cleaners in the world into one super entity, and it still wouldn't suck as hard as that jersey does!

It's like this level of suck!

[Windstorm]

In my opinion, the earlier version of this jersey wasn't too bad (the one with white and a different shade of blue). I actually like wordmark jerseys, as long as there's only one in a team's uniform set... but the final version is just terrible. Switching white for grey is enough to ruin the whole thing.

[knnhrvy16]

So I just watched Johnny Dangerously (hilarious movie, by the way), and after seeing this barfbag of a uniform, wonder how the great Roman Troy Moronie might have approached the designer today....

*Looks at printed picture of proposed unofficial Islanders alternate*

Moronie: What's that-a bastage of a team doin', eh?

*Spots designer, walks towards him*

Designer: Hey there! What do you think of the jersey?

Moronie: Whadda you think, ice-hole?

Designer: Hey, hey. The Islanders needed something to enhance thier brand!

Moronie: Don't bull-schtein me, you som-a-non-batch.

Designer: Easy there...Listen, I won't bear any grudges, even though you and a few others I've shown this to have been a little too quick to judge it. Why do you do that?

Moronie: It's a free country, ice-hole.

Designer: Look, if it makes you and the fans feel any better, I'll try a different option. Perhaps something orange? I insist what my team comes up with will be a much better uniform.

*Mulls it over*

Moronie: Okay, I'll hold it to you and your bastage designer team, but listen: don't try no fargin' trick, oddawise you'll wind up wit' your bells in a sling.

*Walks away*

Bystander: What a mouth on that guy!

--AT UNIFORM UNVEILING--

Designer: Alright, now the moment you've all been waiting for....introducing, the new Islanders third uniform!

*Curtain falls, reveals the same black uniform that was leaked*

Moronie: That...fargin'...sneeeaky bastage!

*crushes complimentary snack in hands, furiously*

Moronie: I'mma gonna take his hands, and I'mma gonna naaail 'em to da wall! I will crush his bells in a meat-a-grinder! And I'mma gonna cut off his arms, and SHOVE them up his ice-hole! That som-a-nom-batch!!

---

Of course....if you haven't seen that movie, that'll probably go waaaaay over your head. But in short, this is my way of saying that this jersey is unbelievably terrible. That's all I can say.

That Islanders jersey is the ugliest jersey of all time. It's worst than White Sox jersey with shorts.

Well, let's see if the socks, helmets and pants can make this set even worse. I hope they do, for lols.

[Bayne]

Their current home and roads are perfection, so to add this monstrocity to the collection is a crying shame. Why on earth did they have to do this? Worst jersey in a long time I think.
