THE ISLANDERS = ONLY NY
Extra Butter makes fashion statement at NYI game

Jason is a major Islanders fan, loyal Point Blank reader and the owner of Extra Butter, a one-of-a-kind store in my Rockville Centre neighborhood (if you want vintage Jordan sneakers, he’s got ‘em). Creative fellow and entrepreneur that he is, when Jason went with his co-workers, clients and friends went to the Islanders-Lightning game last week, he didn’t just go to the game.

 

No, the Extra Butter crew brought dozens of cans of food for the Island Harvest drive. And then they took one of the latest clothing brands they sell, ONLY NY, and made a statement about keeping the Islanders only in NY. Of course, it was all smart marketing, too. Hope the people at ONLY NY appreciate it.

 

So consider this a fun little rallying cry on a non-game day for the hometown Islanders. Or look at it as a holiday-time plug for a local small business owner who’s a fellow fan and reader. The pic up top is of the legendary usher and Islandermania poster Matty. Jason is the guy in the last one below. Cute kid right here, eh?

 

Closing up the shop for about 24 hours. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate in the Country.

    Not a bad idea by any means. Keeping with the holiday spirit and Brian G’s joke above me, Merry Christmas to all…including Alexei Yashin and Oleg Kvasha

    I respect fans trying to make their voices heard during the game. I was a part of the “whiteout” movement that failed at the ToH game. Hopefully they’ll have more luck than I did.

    The child is adorable, CB. No question. However I can’t seem to divert my eyes from that looker in the backround of that pic.

    Merry Christmas to all my fellow Isle and hockey fans.

    That ONLY NY campaign looks great … and with this new sublease agreement it gives Wang leverage … I guess … Still scratching my head about what it means.

    Well … I’ll catch up with ya after Christmas CB … I hope you and your family have a Merry one.

    CB, Merry Christmas to you and your family and of course Merry Christmas to everyone on here, I don’t comment often, but you all crack me up! Further, can Extra Butter/Jason make these tshirts in small, perhaps kids sizes, im tiny and an adult medium is like a bedsheet! thanks! :)

    merry christmas everyone.

  13. avatar AK says:

    I like the “Only in NY” part of this. They could have easily made clothes that state “Only on LI”

  14. avatar MT says:

    Cool threads and great pics. I’ll be sure to check the store out, nice plug.

    Merry Christmas to all!

    Merry Christmas Islander Country from another relocated fan from Hicksville. All I want for Christmas is another first overall pick (Taylor Hall).

  23. avatar Coral springs Isle fan says:

    Merry Christmas CB and all Islander fans out there. Thank you for all your efforts throughout the year CB. Keep up the good work.

    Morbidly ironic the designer uses the New York Times’ Gothic typeface for his “New York.” No newspaper did a better job ignoring 19 straight playoff series victories and 4 straight Stanley Cups. Even the Bergen Record of NJ (my local paper at the time) did a better job covering the Islanders back then.

  25. avatar Steve says:

    Merry Christmas to the Islanders fans everywhere (I am in British Columbia). Hopefully the latest development in the Coliseum is a good news for the Isles.
