The Islanders' move to Brooklyn is a complicated logistical undertaking, but it also is a sensitive one as they seek both to honor their history and retain the customers who have been part of it.
To that end, the team on Tuesday planned to announce a series of initiatives designed to ease the transition and make everyone feel at home.
That includes obvious ones such as hanging the four Stanley Cup banners and retired jerseys in the Barclays Center rafters and retaining the team's logo, name and colors.
But it also will feature touches such as keeping public address announcer Roger Luce, giving the Blue and Orange Army fan group a new home in section 229 and naming Clark Gillies, Mike Bossy, Bobby Nystrom and Butch Goring franchise ambassadors as part of a Legends Group.
