0455: Stadium Series Preview
For the second time in a week we visit with the talented Nick Burton. And as it's Saturday, he has a couple of Winter Classic ideas to share. Up top, we have an orange option for the Islanders — who are expected to face the Rangers during the 2014 NHL Stadium Series. And down below, a white version of the Senators' current third jersey — for when they're hosted by the Canucks in the next Heritage Classic.

I like the Islanders concept, but it has too much going on. I understand the 4 stripes being used, but it is too busy with all of them. The 4 stripes on the stick in the logo is good enough. Even if just the chest stripes were taken away, it would be 10x better. It is still better than their third now however. If this ended up being similar to the design used, I wouldn't be too upset.
Love the Islanders concept (would make for a great replacement-alternate jersey after the Stadium Series game, as well). For a one-off/alternate, I don't mind it being a little busy - it makes an orange jersey look good, which is a tough accomplishment and the main issue with Islanders' alternate jerseys. 5/5
The Senators one is fantastic, though, technically, it isn't a white version of the current alternate. While teams (see: Montreal, Minnesota) can, obviously, have two jerseys with different/slightly-different styles as their home/away, I think it works best when they are, at least, essentially the same (see: Chicago, Detroit). The only "issue" I have is that the chest/sleeve striping should reflect the current alternate's style (the bottom can stay different). If the current alt didn't exist, this would be a 5/5. But, since it does and the hope would be that this became the new away (with the alt becoming the new home), it's a 4.5/5.
Excellent work all-around!
I think that the isles should swap out there current third for a orange third Might be a good IDEa for one the ny teams to do a Ny Americans logo
As a die hard Isles fan, I really like the concept above. Love seeing orange as the main color of the jersey, this would be a great alternate. The current 3rd is horrendous, and any Isles "fan" that owns one should be ashamed.
Yes please for the Ottawa jersey to replace their current road white. For the outdoor game I'd love to see them go whole hog with the barber pole, not just a twist on their current third/heritage jersey. This is their chance to go big or go home.
(You just know the Canucks are dying to roll out yet another one-off jersey to add to their recent identity crisis collection. They already did the Millionaires this past season and are capable of anything outdoors, up to and including a nod to their yellow/red/black era!)
Connect all four stripes on a chest, same on a sleeves, add white on a cuffs and a bottom hem instead of blue.
