Islanders are Fans of New Stadium Series Jersey

The New York Islanders Stadium Series jerseys dropped on Friday and the Isles themselves are looking forward to picking theirs up.

“I love it,” Mathew Barzal said. “It looks old school. It looks outdoorsy. And I think we're going to look great over at MetLife there in those things. I was pumped to see them. I thought they looked awesome.”

Fans can pre-order their jerseys and shop the full Stadium Series collection now at IslesLab.com. The jerseys will hit team stores on Feb. 8.

The Stadium Series jersey is a departure from previous Isles jerseys, embracing the team nickname and featuring ISLES lettering across the chest. It’s big and bold, befitting of a venue like MetLife Stadium, the site of the Isles-Rangers clash on Feb. 18.

“It looks nice and we're looking forward to wearing it,” Anders Lee said. “The biggest thing is it's a special event. It's a cool thing that we get to do to play outdoors and play against the Rangers at MetLife. A lot of guys in this room haven't played in one, so it should be a great day.”

The Isles lettering is meant to evoke the Plimsoll line painted on the hull of ships, per a description on NHL.com, a subtle nod to the nautical ties of Long Island life.

“I like them,” Brock Nelson said. “It’s a good look that I think will look even better outdoors.”

Fans can still purchase tickets to rock their jerseys in person at the outdoor showcase on Feb. 18. With the jersey finally unveiled, the Stadium Series game feels one step closer to the Isles.

“It's kind of been on the backburner, so to get that little refresher that's coming up fairly quickly here coming out of the break, it's exciting,” Nelson said. “Fans, family, everyone's looking forward it.”
