Islanders Unveil New Uniforms!
Thursday · Aug 16 · 2007 | 1:13 PM PDTToday, the New York Islanders made their new Rbk EDGE uniforms official. We got a first look from Newsday yesterday.
Here is Isles goalie Rick DiPietro donning the blue home threads for the cameras.
We've also got Brendan Witt posing in the jersey alongside a surf board. I'm not really sure what I should be looking at here. Jersey or surf board? That reminds me, did any of you watch "John From Cincinnati" on HBO this summer? I know it's not hockey related but the surf board reminded me. Weird show but it was awesome.
Anyway, moving right along here. If you needed a reminder of what the road jersey looks like. See left.
By the way, I'm adding these photos and more to the great big Rbk EDGE uniform photo gallery. If you've got any photos that I don't that warrant being in this gallery, feel free to send them along. The more the merrier, I always say.
Finally, huge thanks to all the people who sent in pictures and links to me. You guys are awesome and you're why this site works so well! Thank you!

one time. i threw up in the toilet right after takin a dump... and it looked like these jerseys. no wait, it looked better.
the gordans fisherman and waves were a step or 2 above this.
I tried asking this all last season with the Sabres and have never really been given an answer: What the HELL is the point of having the numbers on the front?
I could complain about the ugliness of the design, but frankly I think the Islanders were doomed jersey-wise the moment someone picked out those colours. Navy blue and neon orange? Blerk.
The jersey looks okay, but I hate the numbers on the front and I don't like the patches of orange near the arms. Also, I believe that you can make decent uniforms out the orange and navy blue combination, just look at the Denver Broncos or the Isles' old uniforms.
