| Dave Scatchard 1999-00 UD MVP Stanley Cup Edition #113 |
Had often wondered about the colored stripes on the shoulders of the New York Islanders jerseys.
Although no longer part of their uniform, the "4 stripe" emblem / patch was around for over a decade (from 1998-2010).

Apparently, the four diagonal stripes on the shoulder represents the four consecutive Stanley Cups that the Islanders won between 1980-1983.
Decided to pick out four Islanders cards showing the stripes.

Had to include this card of Dave Scatchard because of a background detail I couldn't ignore...
The zebra on the boards is turning its' head AWAY from the puck!

Felt obligated to choose another card featuring a white jersey.
Minus one point for AT&T ad on the boards.
While the stripes were on the regular home & away jerseys (for 12 years), when the third/alternate orange jersey was introduced (2002-2007) it was devoid of shoulder stripes.
