T-ROY Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 4 hours ago, the admiral said: They never had that much personality in the first place, and borrowed the Penguins' template for their original sweaters. The new logo looks more like a Florida panther than the old one ever did, which I count as an improvement. The military iconography is a little unfortunate, but they look good. Borrowed template? They both had slanted arm stripes, but borrowed template? No. The jerseys weren't at all similar other than that. Personality they did have. The colors were something the NHL hasn't seen since the Rockies who were blue primarily and the design was different, especially with the yoke. On the topic of Philly, I really do love the 90's uniforms. I disagree with @Morgo's comment about them being too top heavy since the cut off the cuff by changing to black defeats that notion. Philly's current set is bare and just doesn't work with the EDGE system. The TV numbers go over the extended yoke they have and the white on white captain's patches are dumb. I hate how the orange and white touch too, a look I'e never liked. IMO they set needs more black and the 90's uniforms had a perfect balance of it. Unfortunately, those jerseys aren't nostalgic enough for them to ever go back to them. They're more likely to have a fresh new look sometime in the next 5 years or so.

This was something that happened in the original and was a deliberate detail added by the team. That has nothing to do with the edge template, it was planned. It was a quirk that happened for a while, but when the jerseys came back, the Flyers adopted wholesale, just like the stupid off-color nameplates. It was a short-term quirk that was blown up to permanence with the throwback set I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 "We couldn't properly design a uniform the first time around" is hardly an excuse to repeat ugly mistakes, and then double down on them with the black nameplate on the white jersey. Plus, because of the weird striping inconsistencies in goalie-cut Edge jerseys, the sleeve numbers always fit properly on the goalies' jerseys.

chcarlson23 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I love the colored nameplate on the orange jersey, I don't know why... But the black one is meh... It's not that bad of an idea for the colored nameplate, but it really doesn't work for the Flyers road jersey...

MEANS Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 13 hours ago, BringBackTheVet said: No, much less custom. Many of the numbers look just like normal block. At first glance only the 1 stood out to me. The Vikings and Cardinals have numbers that were blatantly tampered with to make them "unique", including the addition of little notches that nobody designing a number set would ever add unless explicitly instructed to. Hell it might not even be a custom font - maybe just not one that's typically used in hockey. It's refreshing though, and sticks to the "traditional yet contemporary" vibe I get from these. No I can confirm, it is a custom font. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think most would be for their primary mark. NHL Panthers Shop The team primary logo is with "Panthers" the secondary logo is with "Florida". It makes sense that the home logo would be their primary and why the merchandise they are selling uses the primary logo. I am sure in time the secondary logo will be made more widely available. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I find that the template just fits the Panthers. This would've been an incredible upgrade. I generally like what the Panthers actually created, but this is just fantastic, and in keeping with the franchise's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never be a huge fan of the military imagery, but if they were going to go with it, this would've been a perfect execution. The wraparound stripe and solid blue numbers provide great balance. Also, the "FLORIDA" oversight on the away actually improves it - I prefer just using the standard primary shield (i.e. "PANTHERS") on both jerseys. This isn't baseball (or ever basketball) - there's no great tradition of having the city name on the road uniform, and team name on the home uniform in hockey. Hell, there's no tradition of having either name on any uniforms, for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I really like the "Florida" Shield better because when i look at it i read it as "Florida Panthers" versus the other one which all i see is "Panthers Panthers" seems kinda redundant to have the word Panthers over the image of a panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Super late to the party, but I'll add my $0.02 on Florida. I think it's a good set, I'll call it a "swing and a double". Not a home run, but definitely not a miss either. The logos are, as a whole, very good. Coming from a family with a strong military background, I'm always a sucker for military inspired marks and these look very good. The Panther renderings are sharp and the modernized Florida flag is fantastic. I do have three minor quibbles though - 1) the updated leaping panther, though pretty good, still leaves something to be desired. I'd rather it be a tad smoother, it needs the extending whiskers, and I wish the navy shading were a bit more consistent as far as area covered with its predecessor (compare the two heads and you'll see what I mean). 2) I think I prefer the original gold to the new one, and 3) the torso stripe not extending to the back is...not bad, just kinda odd to look at. So those kinda knock it down from home run to double for me, but hey, a double is still great! I'm cool with it all, especially considering the logos as a whole are so good. I even may pull the trigger on a shirt here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd scale back the shoulder/sleeve striping back to somewhere between the old ones and current ones, but keep the trim separating them from the base color. I'd keep the white nameplates on orange. 40 minutes ago, dont care said: I really like the "Florida" Shield better because when i look at it i read it as "Florida Panthers" versus the other one which all i see is "Panthers Panthers" seems kinda redundant to have the word Panthers over the image of a panther In a way, I agree, but it reminds me of the Canucks and their stupid "Vancouver" script, and I don't want to be reminded of such poor design. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it, this change for the Panthers is very comparable to when the Penguins went to vegas gold. Keep the animal but change the logo. Keep the colors but change to a gold instead of yellow. And look where the Penguins are now...about to change back to their originals. Watch in 15 years, the Panthers will be back in their original look. Also, the Flyers jerseys aren't perfect now. Anyone who is on this site knows that the numbers shouldn't overlap the striping like that, it looks horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
