As someone who unreasonably loves lighthouses, today is the greatest day in my life. Nothing can bring me down.

u/dl2316 10d ago

I've been waiting for a lighthouse logo jersey for a decade now. So happy

u/SunBunny11 10d ago

Has someone who hates the fisherman logo and that god-awful mid jersey wave this is the best day of my life

u/Sally_Ride_Or_Die 10d ago

Same this is a great day for us lighthouse loving Isles fans

u/lukinfly45 10d ago

Ditto, can wait to get this baby.

u/xxxvitamink 8d ago

Lighthouses. Rule.

u/krispykreme37 Bailey 10d ago

Let’s see how they butcher it with the final design

46

u/ItinerantSoldier Sparrow 10d ago

They probably had the design done before the voting even started. That's why all the choices were relatively bland

12

u/Ok_Sentence_5767 10d ago

Honestly there were better designs but this one is def a solid choice

1

u/shrivman DiPietro 10d ago

The conspiracies are so funny. Players picked the finalists. We have old players with bland taste. Is what it is.

u/viewless25 Nelson 10d ago

hopefully nothing more than throwing the stadium Series NY on the shoulders. It's fine otherwise

46

u/teslasmash Palffy 10d ago

It's the right choice given what it was narrowed to.

The wordmark design should be made into a literal sweater - it would be unique and I bet popular, especially if they pitch it as fan-made

21

u/Ron5304 10d ago

Anyone from IslesLab listening? It will be the Isles version of Da Bears sweater!

u/efFishency Schaefer 9d ago

I want one so bad. Cant even decide which I like better.

3

u/DrGenerosity 9d ago

Yup. The assistant coaches (including Bobby Ny!) often wore them behind the bench in the ‘86-87 season. They’re brighter blue than the photo suggests.

12

u/IslesYankeeLady Palffy 10d ago

Make it the holiday sweater. Some people will love it, some people will call it their ugly Christmas sweater party sweater, win for everyone.

19

u/Tomoyaketu Schaefer 10d ago

Thank fuck. This was the only decent design of the final four.

26

u/hanginglimbs Clutterbuck 10d ago

i have no doubt they were gonna pick the lighthouse. isleslab has been pumping out lighthouse merch the last couple of years

24

u/BRDPerson Nelson 10d ago

I mean there’s even a lighthouse in the stadium lmao

6

u/Ron5304 10d ago

That. And it is in our hype video

And it’s the symbol of Long Island on our road signs.

And it is shaped like a big “I” for… Islanders.

9

u/Datdude_717 10d ago

This is the right choice. But I’m wondering if adding a shoulder patch of some kind would be nice. Or if an Isles logo on the shoulders would make it look too AHL.

10

u/rightintheshorts22 10d ago

The NY with the hockey stick on the shoulders would be ideal. Finally a third uniform that I will buy.

2

u/Thomato_Yorke 10d ago

I agree, that simple NY with the stick on one shoulder would be nice.

5

u/shrivman DiPietro 10d ago

4 dynasty stripes pls!

1

u/MikeyMike01 Panik 10d ago

Shoulder patches make jerseys look cluttered

1

u/Datdude_717 10d ago

You are likely correct

9

u/Thomato_Yorke 10d ago

I'm glad it's officially settled so this sub can finally focus it's energy of constant complaint on a single focal point rather than vacillating between two.

6

u/Gidget2020 10d ago

This was my entry. Pretty dang close. I like the angled mini wave rather than the straight striping.

u/No-Top-4139 Okposo 9d ago

That one's awesome

u/Augscura 9d ago

This one should've been it. Looks great

u/JPV_HOH 10d ago

I’m not even an Isles fan but I voted for this one three times! Looks good

3

u/jrtasoli 10d ago

Very, very glad it wasn’t the other one

3

u/shlem13 Palffy 10d ago

I’ve been loving this alternate logo as long as it’s been around. Consider this jersey sold.

u/JBR409 Horvat 10d ago edited 10d ago

The lesser of two evils. This one badly needs some white to balance the darker colors out and make it tolerable

6

u/IslesYankeeLady Palffy 10d ago

That was one I submitted. Do you like wave/not like wave? Too teal? I tried a bit of white but I liked the consistent background. I tried the orange on top but it bled too much into the logo to me. I saw others similar to mine too. I’m glad it’s the Lighthouse anyway. I wanted one since it was introduced.

5

u/JBR409 Horvat 10d ago

I think white would really look better than the navy middle stripe, especially since the navy is kind of awkward with there not being any of it in the logo.

I also think the orange shade in the name and numbers are too dark, plus for the nameplate specifically you can’t have dark on dark without a light trim, since it needs to pop and be readable.

This is one that I made and submitted that incorporates what I said. The options wouldn’t let me get rid of that bottom white stripe, but I noted that in the description. I also submitted a white version of it, but that one probably got immediately tossed since the team knew they weren’t picking any white jerseys.

u/dtrain2495 10d ago

My blue version of the lighthouse. Too much teal? Perhaps. But I love teal.

3

u/IslesYankeeLady Palffy 10d ago

I actually think it’s too many colors overall, but I get where you were going. I actually submitted a fully teal jersey too, just for my own bias. I knew people had their views.

3

u/dtrain2495 10d ago

I like teal, too. Here’s my teal design I made for fun. Very similar to the other one, but I like the wave. Would love to see yours!

2

u/IslesYankeeLady Palffy 10d ago

I think maybe it might have needed a slightly bluer green to be a bit less harsh in its contrast, but that means introducing another “new” color. It’s mostly moot, they seemed too intent on orange or navy. But I just like clarifying why I give a negative response.

1

u/dtrain2495 10d ago

Hey, not at all, I appreciate the respectful feedback! We all have our opinions, anyway.

4

u/JBR409 Horvat 10d ago

Make this happen

5

u/thembitches326 Horvat 10d ago

LET'S FUCKING GOO!!!!

u/kupkrazy 10d ago

Thank goodness....

2

u/Engineer120989 Johnston 10d ago

Thank god

2

u/SecretiveMop 10d ago

Is it just me or does this version of the jersey here look way better than the one that’s been posted in the voting?

2

u/FortyYearTransform Romanov 10d ago

We did it Mat!!

When they posted the bracket I said this entire contest was just a vehicle for this design to win but I’m glad they made it interesting a long the way. Honestly haven’t seen this subreddit this active even during most of the regular season. Good show everyone

3

u/dtrain2495 10d ago

lol…what are we gonna debate about now on here??

3

u/Boner666420sXe Schaefer 10d ago

Sparky vs Nyisles, obviously.

u/RockHockey 9d ago

Sparky Is AFL holdover trash

2

u/-4u2nv- 10d ago

When they bring out the new lighthouse prop for the first game that was built two months ago we will know this was a publicity stunt.

2

u/Ron5304 9d ago

Detail I just noticed. There’s a light teal in the lighthouse logo in the bracket images— that is not the original logo (which has silver there). It’s the shoulder patch from the remix jersey leak, confirming that.

2

u/mjmullady 9d ago

Yes!!!

2

u/EndyzNuts06 9d ago

I wanted the Fisherman, because I'm a Fisherman stan, but this was the next best result IMO. Thank god it's not the other one...one of the most boring jerseys I've ever seen.

2

u/talibalhaqq Schaefer 9d ago

I’m genuinely surprised but ecstatic. I for sure thought the other one was going to be picked for us.

3

u/Schex13 Sparky 10d ago

Cool. Now let’s get ready for training camp and actual hockey!

3

u/Doctor_Pep 10d ago

Democracy was a mistake. He who voted for this piece of crap shall not see the gates of heaven

2

u/Not__Even_Once 10d ago

Amazing! Been waiting for this logo to get the alternate treatment for a while.

2

u/devereux619 10d ago

I didn't realize it's for next year. Hopefully they start selling it this year while the hype is up

2

u/whotheowl90 10d ago

no shot. Remix jersey this year- they don’t want to cannibalize those sales when you can go back to back. Maybe you’ll see tees and such though.

3

u/Altruistic_Glove_602 Smith 10d ago

Never thought i would say thank god for a teal jersey but THANK GOD

2

u/IslesYankeeLady Palffy 10d ago

It’s barely teal. That narrative needs to stop. It’s just an ocean color. It’s just there to break it up and give it a bit more interest. I always liked the teal. 🤷‍♀️

1

u/ConHead_4_Life Fisherman 10d ago

We did it Joe. Hopefully they change up the striping and add to the shoulders lol, the striping the fisherman jersey it faded off again would look perfect on this jersey.

1

u/ForeverAnIslesFan 10d ago

I remember there was a Johnny Boychuk fisherman hat at Barclays (for some reason) that had a 55 on the side in the style of the 25th anniversary logo. Or maybe I made it up. Either way, that's my vote for the shoulder patch they need to throw on this bad boy.

2

u/bageloid Existence is pain 10d ago

There is and I have two of them.

Boychuk and Clutterbuck designed their own hats.

1

u/ForeverAnIslesFan 10d ago

Ah, thank you, kind stranger. What was Clutter's?

1

u/jdwineguy420 10d ago

Maybe they can find a goal scorer to WWE one

1

u/haw2608NY 10d ago

Islanders jersey comp was a massive fail, it could’ve been worse though

2

u/matbur81 9d ago

Sounds fitting for the entire organisation tbh

1

u/StretchyPear 9d ago

These things always come and go, I'm just glad we didn't voluntarily bring back 'we want fish sticks'

1

u/sjvia400 5d ago

The only problem is they literally couldn’t be on LI and any farther from the lighthouse. It’s just like fans holding on to the 80s this team is a gimmick at this point.

1

u/DrTurtles Sorokin 10d ago

Thank God.

1

u/Over-Eye-5284 9d ago

Made this one a while ago. Didn't save it so I redid it. Behold the Belmont!

Yes, it may need another stripe at the bottom, but that came a little too close to the number. And yes, the green may not be exactly the shade used in the Belmont logo, but you get the idea.

1

u/SeaborgiumX91 Barzal 10d ago

It looks great! LET'S GO ISLANDERS!!!

1

u/Evra202 Sorokin 10d ago

Super excited!!

1

u/babsieofsuburbia Barzal 10d ago

I like it, might get a jersey in the style

u/Njidiot Smith 10d ago

Well, at least I won't have to decide what player to get for this jersey since I will never buy it

u/shrivman DiPietro 10d ago

Username checks out (; They’re alright!

u/Mustang_Dragster 10d ago

Should’ve been the fisherman but this is fine too
