Islanders third jersey leaked

[driveway]

A very brooklyn-netsy black and white number. Personally dislike, if they're going to go this route I hope they'd just take their excellent stadium series jersey and make it black and white.

[Dr. Pepper]

That's one way to go. Not the way I would have gone, but...

[Chingas]

If it wasn't for the inside of the collar I'd say that photo was way over exposed.

[Vinny01]

Same color scheme as the Nets who they share the building with.

[Flames89]

Different, but I kinda like it.

[btimbit]

Generating lots of hate but I don't mind it. I'd have to see the full uniform

[flamesfan55]

I sorta like that its simple.

[Phaneuf_Phan]

Dislike - that is a practice jersey. And what's the point of adding colour to the inside? lol. Yes, it's missing something....oh I know, let's put some coloured stripes on the inside - there! now it's perfect!

[Northendzone]

they should ahve the picture of the subway lobster fisherman on the front - kinf og bland overall

[kbvall]

That jersey is ridicilous nice.

[DownhillGoat]

That jersey is ridiculous.
Correct.

[Poe969]

It doesn't even look real. I think this would be terrible if they actually used it as a regular jersey.

[LIP MAN]

I sure it will look amazing with some pinstripes on the rest of the uniform too. Too many old farts would rather have the Captain Highliner jersey back instead. Because tradition.

[SuperMatt18]

Will look better with numbers, and likely a patch to commemorate moving to Brooklyn.

Once it has all that it won't look as bland.

[Poe969]

I don't think anyone wants captain highliner back unless it's for comic relief. The original jersey for the islanders was plain and simple. If anything this is the black and white version of it. There is potential there to make it good, but this is just too boring.

[FlamesAddiction]

Dislike - that is a practice jersey. And what's the point of adding colour to the inside? lol. Yes, it's missing something....oh I know, let's but some coloured stripes on the inside - there! now it's perfect!

Yeah, that looks like a practice jersey to me. I wouldn't be surprised if that is what it really is.

[TurdFerguson]

Good luck knocking that off, China!

[Sec218]

They wanted to keep it simple to allow a lot of room for advertising. ;)

[skudr248]

Looks like something you'd pick up at Value Village tucked away in the back

[Fighting Banana Slug]

Needs more Brooklyn Bridge.

[Yamer]

They over-compensated for their last atrocity of hockey apparel:

Maybe, deep down, they just really wish they were a basketball team? Trans-sported?

[Coach]

It will look better with numbers, but is still pretty plain. Hopefully they can figure out a shoulder patch to throw on there as well.

I understand them wanting to go with the "Brooklyn" colors, but I wish they put a little more of the blue and orange on it (it looks like the Cup stripes on the Y are still colored). I think thin lines of blue/orange mixed in with the white arm stripes, as well as colored borders on numbers would look good.

[polak]

Nets colors?

Broooooooklyn

[Resolute 14]

That is complete garbage. It makes the Oilers' old half-finished RBK Edge jerseys look good in comparison.

[RyZ]

Looks like a community hockey or practice jersey.

[Hack&Lube]

Looks straight outta compton.

[Stud_McCool]

I see gold and white stripes! What is wrong with my eyes?!

[YYC in LAX]

I guess black is the new orange

[Mass_nerder]

I dig it. Pretty minimalistic, which can sometimes be a nice change of pace.

[bax]

I like what they were going for, but it's just missing something.

The collar needs to be changed and
It needs some bottom striping.

[N-E-B]

Terrible. The last thing the NHL needs is less colour.

[nwflamesfan]

Love it. Looks really sharp.

[Locke]

Its okay but its no fisherman performing lude acts upon a barrel.

[The Yen Man]

Lol, looks like a cheap practice jersey off the rack of Walmart or Canadian Tire. Terrible.

[REDVAN]

Dark blue with orange NY would have been cool

[Badgers Nose]

came to the thread to see an ugly jersey, left satisfied.

[Reaper]

I guess black is the new orangeYour joke is bad and you should feel bad.

[dubc80]

I hate those toilet seat collars.Some NFL jerseys have it too.

Nice for a seldom used 3rd jersey, but I wouldn't want to see it regularly

The Islanders are turning into the Canucks with their constant dicking around with their look, even though they've always had a cool color scheme and history to go with it.

We knew this black/white look was coming, but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. And since I seriously doubt they are going to to with white pants, they are going to go with black pants.

The 1999 Kings called, and they said "put some goddamn stripes and numbers on the arms if you are going to do this".

I love the orange/blue stripe on the inside of the jersey though. Some PR flack will say something about "respecting the history with a nod to the Isles traditional colors". Sure, and I respect my great uncle George by keeping a picture of him in a box.

Why is this making me angry? Is it the weather? It might be the weather. I don't really care about the Islanders gear, but here I am bitching about it.

[PepsiFree]

I kind of like it. Only kind of though. Kind of a cross between LA and Carolina or something. Not sure. Nice that it's in step with the other Brooklyn team.

[RM14]

The collar makes me think that is just a practice jersey

[getbak]

It's real: http://islanders.nhl.com/club/gallery.htm?id=55571

It looks better with numbers on it.


A new Brooklyn wordmark on the helmet too.

An Al Arbour memorial patch on the shoulder.

[Coach]

I like them. Simple and unique.

[Alberta_Beef]

as a full kit they aren't terrible, except the collar

[driveway]

I love the NY logo, I just wish they'd used their awesome stadium series jersey.

[Kolbe31]

I think it's pretty sharp, actually. Better than their last black jersey, what a train wreck.

[Tyler]

I think it looks awesome

[Puppet Guy]

it looks a lot better than I was expecting

[Nammer403]

Love it

[lambeburger]

I like the four orange stripes on the stick and the four white ones on the sleeves to represent their cups.

[Coach]

Some better images of what the full kit looks like.

[undercoverbrother]

yuck, I like simple, but this is too simple.

[btimbit]

Still like it

[goodyear]

So.......what happens next year when Adidas takes over?

[DoubleF]

I keep thinking about bowling pins when looking at that hockey stick.

[Nufy]

They should move the logo off center to the right...

[edn88]

I like them. Definitely a jersey 'wearable' by fans.

[Stud_McCool]

Someone will likely mistaken them for a referee or linesman.

[sec304]

So.......what happens next year when Adidas takes over?

Two years

[FBI]

Weirdly I kinda like them..

[JohnnySkittles]

Barf.

[East Coast Flame]

That looks great, I really like them

[Strange Brew]

I kind of like them. Does any other team have their logo on the pants like that?

[Reaper]

I kind of like them. Does any other team have their logo on the pants like that?
Most teams have a logo but none are that big.

[Barnes]

So.......what happens next year when Adidas takes over?

They put 3 strips down the arms, pants, and socks and all the players look like Armenian tracksuit gangsters.

[FireGilbert]

The same strategy as the Nets. This is the perfect jersey for the wannabe hipster who knows nothing about hockey but wishes they lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

[Mr.Coffee]

they're alright, not bad not great. Definitely not the worst I've seen. Carolina's are overly simple too but in my mind uglier.

Anyway I hope they keep the Islanders nickname even though it doesn't totally fit with being in Brooklyn.
