Yes, it is an unpopular opinion because nobody wants to have the Gorton’s fisherman as their mascot.

I agree. That is one the great hockey logos.

I immediately hear The Salty Sea Captain from The Simpsons whenever I see this.

I always actually like this logo. Just the 90s wavy piping was what threw it off. If it just had normal piping in traditional islanders colors, it would’ve been awesome

I don’t know about best ever, but it’s definitely grown on me a bit. When it first appeared back when, I thought it was terrible. Now it’s like the cult movie of team logos.

That is a very unpopular opinion.

They used this design as their retro jersey last season. It was pretty cool seeing guys like Barzal, Nelson, Horvat and Sorokin wearing the fisherman jersey.
Have no idea why they aren’t using it again this year.

The majority of people that hate it, myself included, are simply fans old enough to remember the 90s Millbury years.
The logo is fine, the memories it stirs are not so I hate it.
Fuck Mike Millbury.

Looks like one of those fictitious teams from NHL Hitz 2003 where the team is dressed up as sailors instead of wearing hockey gear.

Old man salt lost his rain slicker and fishing gear?

I don’t mind the wave motifs and extra cyan color that came with those jerseys, but Fish Sticks is awful imho. He was extremely unpopular at the time, and outside of a specific demographic I don’t think that perception has changed much within the fanbase.
The lighthouse shoulder patch that went along with Fish Sticks was great, though! I wish they would use that as the main logo. It does a great job of representing Long Island without looking, uh, crusty.
