The Islanders have had predominately the same uniforms since they took the ice in 1972. More often than not throughout their history, they have donned a vibrant blue and orange sweater.
That traditional blue and orange were uprooted before the 1995-1996 season, and the infamous "fisherman" jersey was born. Unfortunately, the fisherman jersey was the product of a total rebrand.
Not only did the Islanders have a completely new uniform that season, but the fisherman logo replaced the traditional Islanders crest. The rebrand was followed with an abysmal season that saw the Isles finish with the third-worst record in the league.
