Confirmed with Link: Stadium Series Jerseys Released (Post #87)

These were 100% created by Lane Lambert, that’s the only explanation here

Speaking as a pro artist and graphic designer — it never surprises me to see that the NYI, NHL and Adidis completely rogered the NY Islanders and its fans yet again with the most horrifically horribly designed jersey and unitofm it could possibly create.

I would rather be nude standing at the north pole and freeze to death then wear this disaster.

I don't think one could try harder to be bad at art, design and uniform development. Holy F_ing cr@polla.

The NYI classic look — while poor design in my opinion — really cannot be changed or manipulated to be "better." They just have to stop. Of all the jerseys and uniforms they have worn for 51 years — this is the worst and second place is not even close.

I like it.

rags looks sweet.

Devils good and Flyers meh

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Flyers looks the best to me

Even worse than the ISLANDERS in horizontal font?

 

[doublechili]

Those "Bolts" and "Smashville" jerseys make me think we could be seeing something like "ISLES".... Maybe in diagonal caps like the old LI Ducks jerseys?

I speculated "ISLES" correctly, but definitely had the retro Ducks jersey idea wrong. I guess having the "Plimsoll line" diagonally would make it look like a sinking ship?

I'd rank them in a 4 way tie for last. The Devs and Flyers are both kind of boring takeoffs on their regular jerseys. The Isles and NYR would look much better with smaller lettering. Make the orange stripe less wide and "ISLES" smaller and it might have been better.

As for the worst NYI jersey ever, I'm not sure anything could ever be worse than these abominations:

 

[NYI365]

Worst Isles Jerseys for me now in order:

1) Black, gray, orange, Islanders monstrosity.

2) RBK Edge 2009ish Piping Jerseys

3) ISLES

4) Brooklyn Black

5) Current Pilgrims 3rd

Really something to me that in the history of the franchise they've had nothing but bad jerseys save for the originals and the early 2000s Navy's and white setup. I personally like the fisherman but ik it's divisive. Completely insane to me that they haven't seen the million lighthouse or similar themed mockups over the years and tried one of those instead of whatever the f*** they've been pumping out the last 10-15 years. It's not that hard!

 

[Throttle]

Devs/PHI are the logos. Isles/rangers are letter based.

It’s alright. Prefer the navy blue with the orange without any white, if you have to have orange.

Seems like for continuity sake, maybe just follow the NYR and do NYI lettering - different font of course?

I've always liked the third one. Its unique

From my honest to god opinion, these aren't the worst. They look fine. I just think they overthinked and made it too simplistic.

The islanders logo is too busy for current standards and also the stadium series - the NHL seems to be going with more easily identifiable marks/logos/patterns, etc.

This is always the issue for me, but I do want them to change it (or have viable secondary and tertiary marks). They nailed the minimalist NY logo but they didn't build off that at all.

I don't think this is the worst jersey at all. Do you remember some of the others?

For me, that's the worst Islanders jersey of all time. My gut reaction is that this new Stadium Series jersey is better than the Black Death and Pumpkin ones for sure and is falling somewhere in that next tier that includes the original Fisherman and original Stadium Series Pilgrims. I think both reverse retros were better and despite the hate they get, the Brooklyn blacks.

I wish they would do a proper orange alternate jersey of some kind. Those lines were just bizarre on that jersey.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

I think it's wild that all the things you can get from Long Island, you base the jersey off the f***ing PLIMSOLL LINE. What are we doing here??

Some of the comments are always the the text is too large but what people who are sitting behind computer screens are forgetting is that these jerseys will be worn in a football stadium with the seats a hundred miles away. The designers have to take that into account when making these things. They don't always nail it but there's at least a legitimate reason they're doing it.

 

[Chardo]

At least I'll be saving some money when I don't buy one.

He collabed with Pierre Engvall

 

[MikeyMike01]

This is the ugliest jersey in team history. It’s beyond putrid.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Why the navy? That hasn't been in our color scheme for years, and only has been used for Reverse Retro, which makes some sense I suppose.

But out of the 4 teams,, we are the only ones using a color that isn't even in our color wheel. I don't get it.

The word mark is lame enough, but to also for some reason use navy? Wtf?

 

[The Lighthouse]

"Plimsoll line" is a deep cut.

 

[Osakahaus]

"Plimsoll line" is a deep cut.

You think anyone who isn't a nautical nut knows what it even is?

 

[PK Cronin]

"Plimsoll line" is a deep cut.

Could be a great band name.

100% agree - that’s what I was alluding to.

My guess is Navy is a more digestible color from a fashion design perspective vs. royal or whatever Islanders blue is called, which is too bright in the fashion context.

someone's gonna buy a jersey and they're going to be that weird fan you never want to talk to.

This. Its to indicate how far a vessel can go underwater with cargo

The more I think about the more they should've just chopped the jersey in half with the blue on top and orange on the bottom, just like this picture.

Looking back the water wings are like our 4th best overall look (sad). #1 is our classics 2 is current alta 3 is navy classic (peca yashin era)

Essentially. would've been unique as well
