New York Islanders Podcast: Reappropriating A Logo

The Fisherman logo has been a source of contention with New York Islanders fans since it was introduced in 1995. The second it was unveiled it was hated. And it still is to this day.

For maybe the Islanders fisherman logo is a stark representation for the terrible 90s. The season the logo was unveiled the Islanders had their worst season since their creation. Excluding the 94-95 lockout-shortened season.

Everyone hated the logo. It was such a leap from what the Islanders had known ever since their creation in 1972. The new logo, the waves at the bottom of the jersey, and the wavy font for the player names was just too much.
