Isles to Debut 3rd on November 1st?

I have some 3rd jersey news today. Chris over at Icethetics made a post today about an email he recieved by a reader who has the "On Ice" 3rd jersey release dates for a bunch of teams.

The Islanders are listed as wearing their alternates for the 1st time on November 1st, 2008 against the Montreal Canadiens. Retailers would get it on November 6th.

Now, this makes things interesting. Although this email cannot be considered a legit source, it could still very well be true. Thing is, that post from Islander Mania says that the jersey will be available for purchase before the season begins.

I guess only time will tell!
