Dynasty Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm not sure why some people are comparing the Flyers' use of gold to the Penguins. They're different shades for Christ sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 If this jersey was traditional Flyers style posters would complain about the lack of creativeness. If this jersey was super creative and had a wacky striping pattern, posters would complain it's not Philly... Basically find anything to complain about...

Yeah, that would have worked much better. The design itself looks much nicer when it's layed out on the floor rather than being worn. I also think the black waist stripe should be just a little bit bigger. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branding an iconic team like the Flyers takes discipline and creativity in proper doses... the Flyers current white jersey is one of the more distinct creative jerseys in the NHL and to back into an almost stock jersey solution is underwhelming at best.

While I may not like gold on the blues jersey, it would atleast make a little more sense than the Flyers using gold. Just replace the blues yellow with gold, I mean ok? It'd work but It's not necessary. I think the Flyers uniform looks good but used waaaay too much gold. Bleeding Blue since 1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Again...that gold...I had no idea the Flyers won the World Series last year (or this year). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 50 years is the gold anniversary. Not gonna let the fact that the Penguins used to wear the color stop them from celebrating it. It would look worse if they considered it and chose against it for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Obviously, it would be a horrendous primary jersey. But as a specialty jersey for select games only, I don't really mind this. The gold is a nice blend with the orange and black, for occasional use only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsaline Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think it would be much better if it was gold trim instead of gold numbers. It makes it look like they won something last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I just don't see that as a problem. There are plenty of rivals that use the same (or similar) colors as one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
