Happy and relieved in one way...very sad in another.
I am a Long Islander and have been all my life. The Islanders have been part of my own self identity for a long time and I actually feel more sadness than I expected.
Nassau didn't deserve it - neither the politicians nor the general public came through for them.
Noticed...name stays the same...logo stays the same (which "logo"???). No word about colors. Bet theyre gonna go black and white. Orange and blue are too "Nassau" probably.

Blue and orange are the colors of the NYC flag. If it works for the Mets and Knicks, it'll work for the Islanders. I would not be surprised though to see a radically different Net-like 3rd jersey which I guess can't be any worse than what we have now.
