One big disadvantage to the royal blue: contrast is again lost in photographs, which was probably the main reason why the team finally went to a dark blue tone..... Which reminds me: please, PLEASE do NOT revert to the more red tone of orange under any circumstances; it looked godawful from the beginning (does anyone on the Island REALLY want to be sporting colors that are so close to the Rangers tones????) and resolved badly more often than not in distorted color settings.....also, the replica jersey logo (NOT the authentic, for some inexplicable reason) is close to perfectly proportioned (runner-up: the classic logo of 1997-2000) and should be the absolutely FINAL version, although I could definitely live without the ridiculous trademark. Finally, it truly amazes me that, after having the somehow ineffective 1977-2007 blue white/orange reversed arm and hem design for 30 years, now there's such a clamor for it to be restored - leave the original design ALONE save for the aforementioned orange improvements! Wouldn't be at all opposed to another lighthouse patch, though....

I want to see the uniforms of the Stanley Cup years back on the team for good. Fads come and go so let the team change up the 3rd jersey every few years but for God's sake. STOP CHANGING THE MAIN JERSEY!!! And I agree, the reebok jerseys look like some art school fashion victim who knows nothing about hockey designed them. They are way too busy and I hate the piping!!!! Please just bring back the originals for good. Lose the Frakenstein jerseys. And lose the "shirt tails" what idiot cut the jerseys that way??? They are hockey jerseys! Not dress shirts!!!!

The Pens got Mario Lemieux in '84 and now Mario is #1 but Bossy is like 1B. I can only hope/pray that the Islanders don't leave Long Island and the long glorious history that they have built there. and by the way SCREW Reebok and that Edge crap(bring back the CCM jerseys) I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, my grandfather took me to my 1st Pens game in 1980(vs. Islanders) and I was awe struck by Mike Bossy, he’s been a hockey idol of mine ever since.

Jeez, some things are just better left for dead. Ever see a Lighthouse patch on Denis Potvin's sweater? Isles would be wise to go back to royal, period. Then shelve any 3rd design for a while.

I also think that the Dynasty sweaters are the best, and Isles should go back to them. I have not bought, and will not buy the stupid non-retro Reebok "water wings" excuses for hockey sweaters.

Yes it's a bit outdated, but it's THEIR logo. That cornball shield the Rags have isn't any more "cooler" than the Isles' crest. 78:
