NY Islanders’ Rumored Hometown Remix Jersey Could Bring Fisherman Logo Back Again

The Fisherman may not be done haunting Long Island after all.

With rumors swirling about the NHL’s potential new “Hometown Remix” uniform program, a possible New York Islanders sweater has reportedly surfaced online through an eBay posting — and if the leak is even close to real, the most controversial logo in franchise history may be getting another resurrection.

Yes, the Fisherman. Again.

The infamous logo made a mostly triumphant return during the 2022-23 season as part of the Islanders’ Reverse Retro look. That version softened some of the original chaos, placing a slightly altered Fisherman logo on a dark navy jersey while leaving out the signature wave pattern that defined the mid-1990s sweater. It was nostalgic, cleaner, and far less offensive to the eye than many remembered.

This rumored Hometown Remix version, though, appears to take the idea in a different direction. Based on what has potentially leaked, it looks like something Isles Lab would have cooked up after being handed a blank check and told to make the Fisherman weird, modern and somehow magnificent.

The Hometown Remix concept is believed to be the NHL’s answer to the NBA’s City Edition or MLB’s City Connect uniforms — alternate looks that lean into local identity, experimentation and, occasionally, pure chaos. No official designs, logos or themes have been confirmed, but reports have suggested each team may have assigned primary colors.

For the Islanders, bringing back the Fisherman would guarantee reaction. Some fans never forgave the logo for replacing the dynasty-era crest in the 1990s. Others have fully embraced it as a cult classic. And at this point, that second group may be the majority.

Bridgeport even used the Fisherman as its primary logo for two seasons before the Islanders’ AHL affiliate announced its relocation to Hamilton. That seemed like the logo’s final resting place.

But if this leak is real, the Fisherman has one more life left.

And honestly? It might sell like crazy
