Islanders open online contest for 2027-28 alternate jersey design

Submissions can incorporate elements from past uniforms, including the 1990s fisherman wave pattern and the classic NYI style. The site, islesjerseybuilder.com, went live Wednesday and received more than 11,000 entries in the first four hours. The contest closes July 24.

Fan input and team review Fans can select color combinations beyond the team's standard blue and orange, including gold, red, green, and purple. A notes section allows additional comments on design choices. Team staff and players will review the highest-voted submissions before a final selection is made.

Background on fan engagement The contest follows earlier fan discussion about past uniform styles, including an all-orange alternate from the mid-2000s. Officials said the process aims to produce a jersey that both fans and players support. The winner will be present when the chosen design debuts on the ice during the 2027-28 season.
