Once a widely panned fashion faux pas, the ill-fated Islanders fisherman logo will make its triumphant return Thursday night at UBS Arena.
The New York Islanders are bringing back their controversial fisherman logo on an updated white jersey for Thursday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes at UBS Arena. The uniform return is part of the NHL-Fanatics Hometown Remix initiative. Head coach Peter DeBoer and players expressed enthusiasm for wearing the design, noting positive buzz surrounding its return.
