The 2014-15 season will mark the end of the New York Islanders’ tenure at Nassau Coliseum, so it’s no surprise that the team will find some nice ways to say “Goodbye.” The team shared the shoulder patch the team will wear as part of that final victory lap:

Pretty cool. Apparently they’ll give out pucks with that logo, as well:

As much as their current building draws some rather harsh reviews - sometimes by its tenants, even - it’s been quite a run at Nassau. It’ll be interesting to see how much changes once the team moves from that old barn to a the swanky home of the Brooklyn Nets by the 2015-16 season, but in the meantime, we’ll wait and see if an intriguing team might just give that building a bigger send-off than mere memorabilia.
