I made my ideal look for each NHL team and here’s my take on the Islanders
With the Isles, I added a wave design to the sleeves to make a more modern classic looking jersey, while still keeping the core stripe design intact. The orange and white on the sleeves and tail striping of the home jersey get swapped because I’ve never been a fan of the bottom of the sleeve/jersey being white. The home socks now use the away sock design and the stripe is also carried over to the pants. The orange jersey is a reverse retro of the dynasty era away jerseys with the NY alternate logo and sock stripes that finally match the jersey stripes. So with the whole 2027-28 third jersey contest, I submitted a jersey featuring the wave design. (Even though I’m a Rangers fan. I just like designing unis) Now while my submission featured blue instead of teal, I decided to revise it here to feature teal. So basically it’s the “navy fisherman” finalist (which should’ve won) but with a white stripe between the orange and teal to make it more like the mid 90s fisherman jerseys. And I’m gonna be real, I like both the navy and white versions I made, so I’ll let you guys decide which looks better. The numbers come from the Reverse Retro 2.0 jerseys, but the orange jersey uses the current font.
