The New York Islanders have found a new home for the 2015-16 season

The New York Islanders, who have been playing in the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum ever since the team joined the league in  1972. Has seen many great players and great events such as a stretch of 4 straight Stanley cups from 1980-1983.

After a long stay here, they (Islanders) are moving to Brooklyn after their long stay in Uniondale. Previous attempts were made to renovate and build a new arena near the coliseum and keep the Islanders in Uniondale. 

The Islanders will keep there color scheme, logo and will still be the "New York" Islanders. Hope to see how they do when they make the move. They will also be sharing the arena with the Nets, who they shared the coliseum  in the early 70's.
There's no place like home, except when home is a 3 year old arena.

Below is some concept art if the Islanders were to change their logo
