Best I can say about this first card is […]

If you've followed this blog for any length of time, you likely know that I'm a fan of the infamous New York Islanders' Fisherman jersey. That's not to say that I'm not fan of the traditional Islanders jersey nor am I trying to compare the two in terms of which one is better, but I always thought the Islanders were ahead of their time when the Fisherman debuted. The fact that the jerseys lasted for just two seasons after Islanders fans demanded the team go back to the original logo didn't get ...
