Overview
- The Islanders revealed eight finalist designs on Tuesday and opened the first round of bracket voting on Wednesday to let fans choose the club’s third jersey.
- A committee that included current players and hockey operations trimmed roughly 80,490 submissions to the final eight designs.
- The finalists are paired into four head-to-head matchups: Lighthouse vs Lighthouse, Fisherman vs Fisherman, NY vs NY, and ISLES vs ISLANDERS.
- Two fisherman-logo options have drawn notable criticism on social media because the mark was unpopular in the 1990s, making fan sentiment a major reputational factor in the vote.
- The winning design will be produced only after NHL approval and manufacturing lead time and will debut in the 2027-28 season while the creator receives a signed jersey and game tickets.
