Newsday Makes Isles Unis Official

I'm still trying to gather more information, but apparently, Newsday posted a photo yesterday of Rick DiPietro in the New York Islanders' new road jersey.

Even though it doesn't come from the team directly, it's safe to say we can confirm this as the real deal. I'm adding it to the sidebar, making the Isles the ninth team to show off their new duds. If you guys find anymore info or photos, please let me know.

Thanks to the guys that emailed me initially on this photo.

Oh, and yikes. What is going on there? The weird stripes around the shoulders... the sleeves in a different color. I'd definitely like to see some more angles of that jersey. Thoughts?

There's a bunch of pictures of this jersey up on the official Islanders site, Chris. You can add those to the official new jersey page.

The white one is actually cool. I mean, look at the old Islanders jersey. It's plain ugly. Now their white is classic and modern.

But their blue will not pass the test with me. Way too mutch orange, and the shoulders are a disaster.

I think they should have stayed with the traditional look, but these aren't terrible. Does anyone else think, though, that if you're going to have the lace collar, it should be on a more traditional jersey? They just don't seem to fit this modern look.
