"Feedback around the internet" is the least reliable metric one could use. And the most ardent supporters of the Islanders "fishstick" jerseys are fans of other teams, so even if "Blasty" is popular with other fan bases it's not an objective reflection of how good or bad it really is.

Blasty is popular. It's popular here. It's popular across the internet. And at the end of the day, jersey sales will indicate how popular it is with the public at large. If you don't like it, fine, don't buy it, but plenty of people do like it and plenty of people will buy it.
Trying to make this an objective thing, outside of a joke, is just silly. Whether people like it or not is subjective if we're going to be honest, and the roundabout arguments of whether it's "good" or "bad" should always be taken in jest, or at least taken as meaningless subjective opinion.
If we should assume Austin is joking, we should assume you're joking. Both takes have equal standing, all things considered.
