Islanders new third jersey

The Islanders are once again trying desperately to link themselves to their past. Especially the dynasty years from 1980-1983. They're going with the retro look that is just more lighter and brighter blue with the orange and white stripes. According to the Newsday article written by Mark Herrmann, former players are glad the Islanders are trying to go back to their roots of the glory years. " I love it. I always thought this was a fabulous jersey, " said Bobby Nystrom. "It brought back a lot of good memories." This definitely will try to breath life into a desperate fanbase who will probably go out and buy some of these retro looking jerseys because it links the older fans to the good old days. This move definitely comes with more acclaim than the failed fisherman logo that was worn during the mid 90's. Even the current Islanders are excited about the new uniforms. "It is awesome, you see video of them winning Cups in these jerseys and you want to do the same thing, " said Josh Bailey. This gives fans all the more reason to go out and buy them.

Possible New Owner for the Steelers

After owning the team for years, the Pittsburgh Steelers were looking at the possibility of not being run by the Rooney family for the first time ever, I believe. One of the very few people who were interested in buying out the majority of the Steelers is billionare, Stan Druckenmiller. Druckenmiller, by the way offered an all-cash deal to but out their families shares of the team. Two of the Rooney brothers are mulling their options and are considering selling their shares of the team. However: it looks like the elder of the Rooney brothers, Dan, is considering buying their shares and owning the majority of the Steelers. From my perspective, I think it's good from a Steelers perspective to have the Rooney's run their operations because they're one of the originals who are still around. Many other owners from the time of the merger are long gone and almost forgotten. To have the Rooneys still in the picture, is good for Steelers and the rest of football as well.
