Rangers, Isles honor police, firefighters for Stadium Series - ESPN

Talk about arriving in style. The New York Rangers pulled up to their Stadium Series clash against the New York Islanders on Sunday via NYPD police cruisers and FDNY rigs.

Rangers players walked into MetLife Stadium decked out in police- and fire-department-inspired sweaters, too — one set blue, the other red — alongside actual members of those departments.

Often, there's a teammate or two generating the main idea for outfit coordination. Rangers forward Barclay Goodrow wasn't sure who spearheaded the fits; he was just pleased with the final product.

«I thought it came together great,» he said. «It was great meeting those [service people]. Obviously, we all know what they do for our community. It was great to share that moment with them.»

Once the Rangers had made their way to the dressing room, it was the Islanders' turn to step out.
