It’s officially official. Despite the jersey being leaked on Twitter on Sept. 1, the New York Islanders waited another month to confirm the jersey to in fact be their new alternate jersey.
The jersey appears to be heavily inspired by the team’s Stadium Series jersey, worn at Yankee Stadium against the New York Rangers on Jan. 29, 2014. The modern looking jersey with the “NY” logo on the crest was then worn a few more times during the 2013-14 season before becoming the team’s official third jersey for the 2014-15 season.
A nod to the past.
