NewarkDevil5 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 During the mid90s while the Islanders were at their worst period of suckage, they came out with this as their new jersey: Note the fisherman and his similarities to the spokesman for Gorton's Fishsticks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgmamazin Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I never really noticed how close they looked, but very good call.......LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsTalkRadio Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I realize that I am probably in the extreme minority with this admission...however, with all of the "fishstick" lingo in regard to "that" previous Islanders sweater...I actually liked it and thought it was a good looking jersey. The fact that the uniform temporarily replaced the "dynasty" jersey and logo was where the problem was in my opinion. As I have made mention of to others in talking about that particular uniform - had the Isles been an expansion team coming into the league the exact year they dressed in those suits, with no previous history to them...I think the uniform would have been well accepted. Yes, I know I'm in the minority...so go ahead and blast away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 There were some that said Stan Fischler posed for the Fisherman logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Puddy Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 It's totally the same guy! I never saw it side-by-side with the Gorton's logo like that. In this one, he's even in the same position: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Remember the song... "Trust the Gorton's fisherman...(bamp bum bah)...from Gorton's of Gloucester..." Always wondered how they got pronunciation 'Gloster' from Gloucester. Then again I defer to that off-topic English language thread from the other day.
