Do the Islanders really have to go black & white?

I get it. New home means new unis. Those unis should match the uniform of the arena’s other resident. But somehow, I feel this is so forced.

The Islanders had a black jersey a couple seasons ago and nobody liked it. Yet somehow, adding a new black one seems like a good idea. I don’t think so. I wish the team could stick with their colors of blue and orange. I know they want to commemorate their new home, but I don’t if this is the way. Especially since black just doesn’t fit well into any of it.

We know for sure that they will wear black but the above jersey is only speculation. Either way, I really don’t like this at all. I prefer they bring back the fish sticks jersey instead.
