Back in 1995, the New York Islanders unveiled a new logo. Instead of that classic crest with ‘NY’, the silhouette of Long Island, and “Islanders” at the bottom, the Isles jersey would feature a fisherman that resembled the Gorton’s fisherman mascot.
The jersey was incredibly unpopular and was gone the very next year. Fans hated it. But, as the saying goes, time heals all wounds.
Over the offseason, NBC has been running a contest to decide the best NHL sweater. They packed 16 sweaters against each other. And the Islanders fisherman is now in the final four.
