One of the more controversial and lightning rod topics in New York Islanders history is about a jersey that the team wore for three years when they were bad. This Fisherman Jersey is one you either love or you hate there’s really no in-between.
From 1995-1998 the Isles wore the infamous sweaters, and while at the time the look wasn’t loved it has grown in popularity as retro or vintage 90’s looks come back around in style.
NHL on NBC is doing a sweater showdown March Madness-style bracket (it is August after all, content is hard to come by) and right now the Islanders fisherman jersey is up against a Winnipeg Jets jersey.
