Here are some photos that Newsday posted from Islanders practices of Rick DiPietro. I think its safe to assume these are the new 2007-2008 Reebok Edge Jersey's as several Islanders have been photographed in them.
The colors seem to be the same, however the sleeves and color has been changed quite a bit. I'm on the fence about the design, its doesn't get me excited nor do i hate it. They also have added the player number to the top front of both jersey's. I can't stand this, its clutter and doesn't help the viewer identify the player at all. The NHL really needs to outlaw this as it looks like a blob even on large HD tv. The other thing that I don't like is that only original six teams should be allowed to have the collar ties. I don't know maybe its just me but I think they should be reserved only for the original 6. The ties because of their colors along with the collar seem to be really busy and the tie seems to get lost.
If you're a traditionalist and hate change you can still pick up an "old" style jersey, check out these great deals on NHL Jerseys or if you're an Isles fan click here for the "old" Islanders Jersey. Check out my previous blogs and photos of the new Reebok Edge
Jersey's for the following
teams:
New York Rangers Reebok Edge Jersey.

Do you honestly have anything positive to say about any of the jerseys? It's one negative thing after another. "I don't like this, they should outlaw that...". Why don't you design your own jerseys and let US criticize them. Good luck.

I don't like the NY Islander's new jersy at all. Watching them skate on the ice with them, I don't even feel like I'm watching the Islanders.... bummer! Why didn't they keep the same design????? I feel like I'm watching the Flyers with their new away Jersy. Hate it!!!!! Lori
