Overview
- The Islanders confirmed late Thursday that the Navy Lighthouse design won the fan-run, bracket-style vote, narrowly beating a navy ‘ISLANDERS’ wordmark in the final round.
- The contest drew roughly 80,490 submissions and a committee that included players and hockey operations narrowed entries to eight finalists before fans voted in three rounds.
- The team said it will collaborate with Fanatics to turn the digital concept into a full NHL-ready kit and must secure league approval and complete manufacturing before the uniform debuts.
- The lighthouse motif echoes a late-1990s Islanders shoulder patch, and the club says numerous current players and alumni engaged with the project during the selection process.
- The winning designer will receive a team-signed third jersey and game tickets, and the broader initiative hands fans a direct role in shaping the franchise’s visual identity going forward.
