Minimalism seems to be the name of the game for this design. Two large blocks of color on the sleeves and shoulder piping in grey — which isn't even an Islanders color. It's hard to imagine a design like this was ever actually in the running for the Isles.

That said, the elements present in this jersey were all present in the final design in some capacity — three big blocks of color on the sleeves, albeit divided by thin piping between the lower blocks, as well as the contrasting piping around the shoulders. The biggest difference is the addition of piping around the waist and a tie-up collar.

And here's some trivia. The tag dates this prototype to Nov. 14, 2005 — exactly a decade ago today! The tag also numbers the prototype as "124WJ.01" which doesn't exactly follow the numbering seen on other prototype jerseys.

It's also interesting to see how early this prototype was created. Reebok Edge jerseys didn't first appear on NHL ice until the All-Star Game in the 2006-07 season. All 30 teams were fully outfitted by Reebok the following year in 2007-08.

Oddly enough, both jerseys that came from these prototypes are no longer in use. The Sens retired their third jersey in 2011 in favor of their Heritage Jersey. The Islanders switched to a throwback road sweater styled after their original uniforms in 2010-11.
