New York Islanders Alternate Jerseys Released

Why not just go with a simple orange like this?

This is the answer right here. I like that orange jersey.
 
Why is Brooklyn now somehow the "black and white" colour scheme? I don't get it.
 
That is an absolute tragedy. The black is appropriate. It's like the jersey is mourning itself.

I have no idea. Using their same exact colors is still Brooklyn-themed, as it's the colors of the flag of NYC. Black is no where on the flag of NYC or Brooklyn. The Nets maybe thought a black and white jersey would sell in the black community, and the Islanders just followed suit because they play in the same arena now.

It looks fine. It's a blurry ass picture. Let's wait to see some proper shots of it.

Love the black and white motif though.

Orange is a no-no because the teams new marketing genius thinks Brooklyn relates to black colors and it will sell more.

I am fine with it, I like the fact they did not "jazz" it up too much. It will look better with numbers on it
 
It looks like a practice jersey. This can't be serious. The oversimplified logo isn't atrocious but you at least need some stripes on the jersey.
 
Not thrilled as an Isles fan. The regular jerseys are so beautiful with a nod to the past, don't screw with it. Pretty much every 3rd jersey has been crap, this one is no different.

It's almost like they have intentionally been releasing awful third sweaters over and over again so the Fisherman is forgotten. Suddenly that's like their third best sweater.
 
I don't care for the black/white trend in jerseys, and that goes for all sports. It's supposed to be cool but it doesn't look that great imo.
 
:whatever: Sigh.

Hopefully no one buys this and they get the message.

That is my hope. I knew we would see a new third jersey in Brooklyn and the colors would be black+white.

I had thought nothing could be uglier then the orange jerseys. I was wrong :shakehead
