Isles selling 'Highliner' merch after not using logo for Reverse Retros

The New York Islanders may be trolling their fan base.

All 31 NHL teams revealed their Reverse Retro jerseys on Monday. The Islanders' design was met with criticism due to the subtle difference compared to the club's current jersey.

Fans wanted to see the return of the "Captain Highliner" design, which the team donned from 1995 to 1997. The logo was lambasted at the time for resembling that of Gorton's fish sticks, but it appears it holds some nostalgic value.

Oddly enough, the team announced Tuesday it would begin selling merchandise featuring the Fisherman logo.
