Once a widely panned fashion faux pas, the ill-fated Islanders fisherman logo will make its triumphant return Thursday night at UBS Arena.
The Isles will wear an updated white version of the once-hated “Fish Sticks” jersey for their game against the Hurricanes as part of the Hometown Remix NHL-Fanatics initiative.
“I vaguely remember some controversy around it, but this is what I know: I know people are really excited about it,” said Isles coach Peter DeBoer, who donned a cap adorned with the logo after Wednesday’s practice. “There’s a really good buzz about it, and I like the fact that we’re wearing something different here. It’s exciting for our group, and I know our guys are excited about it too.”
