The new Bridgeport Islanders logo features an iconic mark for the team's future. The strong letter B recognizes the great city of Bridgeport. The stick, which forms the letter B, has the parent Islanders NY logo as the tape on the blade, a subtle nod to the affiliation between the two clubs. The iconic Islanders' blue and orange colors remain the same.
