Speaking of alternates, check this one out! The prized "pumpkin" of the batch so to say. Due to an inability to do anything right during this era, the team unveiled these awful monstrosities. Doesn't it hurt the eyes just looking at it? Orange has always played a smaller part in the Islanders jersey history but they decided to make most of their uniform a bright version of it. Then there's the jagged line design which I'm not really sure what it's supposed to be or represent but looks ridiculous. How could you use that for both sides of the jersey? It's extremely distracting that's for sure, between the giant sickles and the offensive use of orange, I'd say you got yourself a real winner right there.
My final thoughts: Normally it's pretty tough being an Islanders fan because of their history of being lackluster or their issues with management and getting rid of players before they have a chance to become great. But their history with jerseys, especially alternates, has been just as rough. Definitely one you should steer clear of.
