You wouldn't believe the number of Brooklyn-based Islanders concepts I've gotten since the team announced it was moving. Some good, some bad. But every once in a while I come across one I really have to share. Devin Durocher's is one of them. I can't decide if it's one of the best things I've ever seen or one of the worst. Either way, I thought you should see it.

Today, Brian Brideau presents an alternate jersey for the New York Islanders — featuring the wordmark crest used during the 1941-42 season by the Brooklyn Americans.
And not for nothing, but it seems the NHL is already cashing in on that wordmark. The t-shirt above was spotted at the NHL Store in New York City by Brandon Holmes.

Our Winter Classic Weekends have been bleeding a little into Stadium Series territory. This week, we have Bryan Dyck's suggestion for the Rangers-Islanders game on Jan. 29, 2014 at Yankee Stadium.

The New York Islanders have been back in the news recently with regard to a potential rebrand upon their relocation to Brooklyn in 2015. Will they align with the NBA's Nets and go black-and-white? I don't know, but I don't think Pete Stern has the best solution. Maybe if the front had a logo? But then this is a Freak Out Friday.

We've got a first for the Icethetics Concepts page today! Morgo Uxbridge created his New York Islanders jerseys not with a mouse but with a pen. These hand-drawn designs are absolutely stunning — especially the attention to detail given to the crests. Speaking of which, take a moment to really appreciate the logo on the orange third jersey. It's a thing of beauty!

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.

Ever since the announcement that the Isles will play in Brooklyn in a few years, the concepts haven't stopped. Black and white. Brooklyn. But almost every look — despite ending up in a Freak Out Friday post — has been very interesting, including this one by Dan Capostagno. I'm not a fan of the lack of color, but there's got to be something here. Maybe a new third jersey a few seasons from now?
