Will a move make them more visible and popular in the NYC area and the NHL?

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Yes, but they will still have to win. And if I'm them, I change logos and colors with the move. Their crappy blue/orange is not marketable.

:lol: The Islanders have been dealing with this issue for a couple years. Nassau County voted down a new arena last year, so the timing of this is not related to the lockout.

BTW, my guess is they will go to the Nets new black/white unis. The arena is apparently decked out in black/white already.

Better Brooklyn than Quebec City, Islanders fans.

It's going to be an awkward set-up for sure, but I didn't want to see the Islanders move out of the metro area.
