Talking about Islanders Third Jersey Ideas

That said, if it’s black, I will openly weep.

Home Whites + Away Blues is really all you need.

If we wore those against some Original 6 teams, that could create a really interesting dynamic. Imagine playing against the Rags wearing those jerseys? That’s some good ol’ (looking) hockey right there.

I’m against it all together, but if we have to have one I’d prefer if they made the navy blue one’s from the past few years the third, maybe with a different logo (lighthouse would be fine, no fishsticks please) and maybe with orange numbers like from the first year .

I’m really hesitant on a different logo, but it certainly can be done right. For example, obviously I hate the Rangers, but the Statue of Liberty ones were pretty solid for an alternate. I also wouldn’t necessarily be against something that just used some stylized text of the word Islanders.

It would make sense to only keep the 3 traditional colors, without moving to black. I like the idea of an orange jersey (similar to the Flyers orange/white) but different from the one with the awful blue design on the sides of the jersey.

Keep the logo the same but have the background of the circle become orange with the “islanders” and the long island pattern become blue with blue trim around the circle. then make the collar, sleeve stripes, and bottom of the jersey colors blue and white. JMO

They look like rugby jerseys. If we ARE resigned to a third jersey then bring back the 2002-2007 orange like jersey, you refered to.

I would prefer a simple jersey with the name “LONG ISLAND” from top left to bottom right, kind of like the Rangers jersey but with our colors.

Maybe something totally new. Like we could go with this:

or better still:

The orange one of a few years ago was horrid in my opinion. Don’t like the Amerks look either, but think the lighthouse should go in there somewhere.

If they could get rid of that side trimming, it’d be ok, much like the current jerseys but with the colors flipped.

If it must be black or a super-dark blue, then use the lighthouse logo but modify it so that the light it shoots out is in the shape of the original logo, projected onto a cloud. Kinda like the Bat Symbol from Bat Man, but with the Isles logo instead.

I think we can all agree, however, that even if the new jersey looks decent, it’ll still be mocked by all other fans.

It’s so hard to make another jersey for this team. The original is so great. I’ve personally screwed around a ton of times trying to make a jersey, but nothing ever seems to look that great. I do like the idea of an orange jersey, although not the same color orange as the frosted flakes jersey we had.

If we really want to incorporate some L.I. tradition into the new jersey maybe we can have our logo be a picture of Kate Murray standing on Hempstead tpke giving the middle finger while she is biting down on a hockey puck. That would really represent some of the team’s history.

1. THE PRIMARY LOGO IS SACROSANCT. ’Nuff SAID.

2. Any secondary logo MUST conform to the PRIMARY LOGO’s basic design features. That is to say, a proposed lighthouse-themed crest needs to have the SAME circular rings surrounding it, same color scheme – can forgive beams extending beyond rings for sake of dynamic effect as discussed…..

3. MUST retain basic arm and hem striping motif ratios, as does the 1972-77 present variation and 1977 – 1994, 1998-2007 Dynasty era (though blue changed from royal to navy and back again) – 2008-2010 did NOT; that is to say, broad orange stripe bordered by a white pinstripe, as is evident on the pant striping – present stripes are broadened to provide more orange than before, and same effect would be applied to Dynasty-era striping update…..

4. ANY incorporation of shoulder yoke should be NO exception to these design rules (but because Oilers original blue jerseys are the exact same pattern, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see shoulder yokes on Islanders jerseys again, unless non-wave faux yoke could somehow be integrated…..)

5. As to proposed black-fielded 3rd: CANNOT disgard any of the above rules, or will be vigorously IGNORED by vast majority of fanbase!

It had so much potential and hasn’t been used since the wave sweaters.

Should be the logo for the 3rd jersey. But a cool Warhol-esque modern art looking style Moulson.

are here (http://www.icethetics.info/concepts/2011/5/29/collection-33-new-looks-for-long-island.html). If they dare try something like the third one from the top, I might cry.

…but they seem appropriate here. I am not an expert with these computer designs, but here were a few of my ideas:

How about an all black with either the light house as the crest and Islander or Ny going over the top like vancouver. Than having the 4 cups as a shoulder badge with the stripe white and red on the sleeves and bottom>

i’m for no 3rd jersey. i think the whole 3rd jersey in sports idea is spent. some are actually nice, but the isles have a great, classic home/away jersey combo. i don’t want to see them ruin it. i know a lot of rangers fans who would love to see the gorton’s fisherman back, but it they were to do something, they should make the center crest have that script look like the minnesota wild 3rd jersey with either the words “islanders” or “long island” as a tribute to their fan base. the lighthouse is ok too as the shoulder crests.

keep in mind im not a graphic designer and denote white splotches around the logo. ithink the strpes could reworked but this isnt a bad concept

need to look at my profile image to see…would not allow me to upload

I don’t care about trends, I still like black. How’s aboot an all-blue crest on a black jersey with orange name n numbers on the back?

/cricket…cricket…

i have a picture that i made and it is saved to my desktop. How come you can only post something that has a URL? Anyone know of another way?

We’ve noticed a lot of chatter about an #Isles 3rd jersey. If you could design your own, what would it look like?

Respond to @nyislanders on twitter to tell them or submit pics…not that this is a contest or had any way of happening, but who knows, they may select for the next 3rd jersey???

I like the blue mock up from the top, but I think they should consider just using the stylized NY from the main logo on the shoulder caps. I see many teams incorporating older/other/alternative logos on their shoulders like the old Canuck rink logo and the new Eagle on the Caps uniform. I have seen some Isles hats that just have the NY with the hockey stick which is still true to form but has a little retro feel to it. They could also consider something a little more old school building off the old Long Island Ducks uniforms. As for color schemes, if I have my Islander history down right, the Isles were awarded to LI as an 11th hour defense against the WHA coming into the area. The iconic logo was actually kind of slapdash to get the team to market and the orginal uniforms were actually blue and green but were changed to the state and county colors of blue and orange right before they were to be presented. Now if we could have only secured Gordie Howe’s services like Bill Torrey first wanted…….

Arbour is shown wearing in it ‘75-76, if I’m not mistaken…..makes PERFECT sense as a shoulder logo, especially if the word’ ISLANDERS’ appears by itself as part of the primary logo! I DON’T ‘tweet’ so I wish the Islanders rep had included a Facebook link as well:(

HERE is the ideal Islanders 3rd jersey.

1) ALTERNATE PRIMARY LOGO with the following elements:

 a) Lighthouse (with 4 symbolic diagonal stripes just as with the old 4-stripe rectangular patch – does NOT have to exactly resemble Montauk Light; instead, should be two-dimensional and NOT the one as pictured with the wave pattern jerseys, to conform to the classic crest’s 2-dimensionality – but projected beams should also be extended and blended into the rope weave beyond the smaller circular base field pictured; changing the orange inner ring to a rope design is absolute BRILLIANCE (so much so that I wouldn’t mind seeing the classic one also get that tweak – just an unbelievably simple way to incorporate more maritime elements that really DOESN’T compromise its vibrancy one bit) and retain the same downward-curving orange font for ISLANDERS at bottom and possibly put the ‘EST. 1972’ in the same orange, or white, font – NOT an element crucial to the logo’s effectiveness, though.

 b) Introduce, as several people have recommended, the RBK-licensed white stylized NY and orange/white puck standalone emblem (similar to the one on staff’s earliest warm-up fleeces and as worn in pictures by Al Arbour) shoulder patches. This would serve the purpose of complimenting the word ’ISLANDERS appearing without it in the above-detailed alternate ptrimary crest.

c) Dynasty-era (1978-1994, 1998-2007) striping pattern, further commemorating the 4 Cups (could change the ratio of white-to-orange to conform with the newest jerseys; socks already compliment that motif perfectly…..

d) POSSIBLY make the full field navy blue again as it will provide better contrast with this proposed design – or even a darker shade of aquamarine, as appears in the designer’s original image shown elsewhere…..
