GOING GORTON'S AGAIN? In N.Y., Stephen Lorenzo reports the Islanders "plan to unveil a modernized version of their infamous 'fisherman' logo uniforms" they wore in the '95-96 and '96-97 seasons. They will wear the jerseys "for warmups during a game at some point this winter and then auction off the gear for charity" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 10/8).
SHOW SOME GLASS: In Boston, Donna Goodison notes the Bruins' new practice facility at New Balance’s Boston Landing project "complements the high-glass design" of the company's adjacent HQ. Renderings show that the rink’s glass facade "will allow travelers along the Massachusetts Turnpike, which it fronts, to see into the Brighton practice facility for peeks of its stands and ceiling banners." It is "set for completion" in '16 (BOSTON HERALD, 10/8).
