Hockey fans love sporting their team's third jersey. 

Now, fans of the New York Islanders have a chance to design one. 

The Islanders on Wednesday launched a third jersey design contest for the 2027-28 season, marking the first time an NHL team has asked its fans to come up with the design. 

Using an online design digital tool, fans can design the Islanders' third jersey using historic logos, patches, the official Islanders fonts and a wide color palette.

There is a "paint-by-number" setup so the jerseys match the League's official jersey template, and a note section so fans can explain their design choices. 

Entries can be submitted up to July 24, and from there five finalists will be selected and those five jerseys will then be put up to a fan vote in August. 

"Islanders fans are among the most passionate in all of sports, and their emotional investment is the heartbeat of this franchise," said Kelly Cheeseman, president of business operations for the Islanders and UBS Arena. "With this contest, we are breaking down traditional boundaries and inviting ‘Isles Nation' directly into the design room to do something that has never been done before in our league.

"Our third jersey will truly belong to the fans, born from their passion and chosen by their voice."

The jersey that wins the fan vote will become the Islanders official third jersey for 2027-28, and the winning creator will get a signed third jersey and tickets for the game when the jersey makes its debut.
