0177: Four Stripes on the Island
I think this is a very cool and inventive New York Islanders concept by Justin Cox. We haven't seen one quite like this before. I like the stripes but the biggest problem I foresee is in the striping itself. These groups of four stripes were created on a patch for a purpose — to celebrate the club's four Stanley Cups. So what happens if they win another? Change the uniform again? That could get old if the team ever got good. Regardless, I like the anchor. Seems like anchors and lighthouses would be great symbolism for the Isles but they just don't seem to be interested.
