[NYI365]

It has leaked. It is here. There is nowhere to run. Ye Old Tide Cometh For Thee.

...that's...not...good.

Kinda weird IMO. Not sure why they added just a touch of teal, went halfway with the stripes too. Would have preferred traditional stripes, ditch the teal entirely. I’ve seen worse from them though, hated the Brooklyn redesign, didn’t care for any of the thirds.

If our Black Death 3rd jersey had an illegitimate child it would look like this.

Not as bad as I thought it was. Looks decent. I’m not a fan of diagonal or the wavy stripes but this way doesn’t look bad. I expected a lot worse. Have to see the players in them but I actually think they might look solid compared to most of the reverse retros

I’d love one as a hoodie

This is still the most cleanest concept I’ve seen and would have sold off the racks in my opinion. Love this concept and I was never a fan of the teal but here it’s nice.

Eh, the logo looks bland. Just looks like someone squirted toothpaste on it lol

That’s a good one. If they want to use teal they should just go all out with it. This is close to what I was thinking:

 

[Foppberg]

Barf. WHERE’S THE TEAL

 

[islesfan186]

IMO they should have just taken their standard home jersey, done an orange base instead of blue, and put the lighthouse logo that was the arm patch on the fisherman jersey as the main crest.

 

[LeapOnOver]

Just kind of meh to me. Not something I want to go out and buy, but not against it either. Guess I'll wait and see what it looks like on the ice, but I really wish they would consider a jersey that doesn't have to have this dark blue every time. Get a lighter blue in there, like the concept picture from SI. The dark blue is around enough...

I like the teal as a tertiary/fourth color that competes with white.

I am very anti-fisherman jersey but this is one that i could have lived with.

As for the one we got…ugh….

 

[GOLFWANG]

that new jersey is 100 uglier than the original, I would rather buy the original

I would rather go for the one that was posted here that is just a concept looks 100 times better.

 

[kk]

I'll believe it when I see it. Until the team releases the jersey this is all speculation. Yes I'm aware Icethetics has some credibility.

 

[Big L]

What's wrong with his mouth

Missing teeth because doesn’t have the aqua fresh swirl.

 

[Strummergas]

Garbage in, garbage out.

I would have thought in the Reverse Retro styling this should have been that look with our current colors as someone above posted.

Kind of confused.

This is just an odd version of the fisherman with different striping and colors. I'm confused.

That's not to say I'm not buying it. I have every Isles jersey, so unfortunately I can't be counted on to not buy a crappy one.

Reverse Retro is just a weird concept by the NHL. Too much nuance.

True. I guess when you have teams with zero retro ability, Vegas, Seattle, etc. you really don't have an actual defining concept for this. It's more a free for all.

I say bring back the orange "pumpkin" jerseys as an alt and call it a day. I'd buy a few of those.

i see the leaked image of the updated fisherman, but I don't see any lighthouses on the shoulders.........missed opportunity

It could've been so much better, they really dropped the ball on this one.
