What is that even supposed to be?Funny that you'd use that picture and not bring up how awful the Pens' template still is.I think we all know and all agree how bad the Pens' template is, it can go unsaid at this point, it's that bad and been around that long.The Flyers' edge sets could have been good...but the template had too many weird things going on. That sleeve action is exactly what doomed it. The Phantoms did an orange version for a brief time...it looked better, simply because it was orange, but it still didn't look good. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Going back to the last page and the photos of jerseys for a second, I don't think the Flyers' first Edge uniforms were bad, honestly. Give them an orange version of that instead of black and relegate the black to an alternate and you've got a great modern look that doesn't go overboard. I'm not complaining about what they've got now (besides the nameplate nonsense) but that Edge set had some potential.***SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT***You can't tell me this doesn't look better than their current uniform, with its nearly-white-on-white sleeve numbers, contrasting nameplate, and a sickly shade of orange.

Give them an orange version of that instead of black and relegate the black to an alternate and you've got a great modern look that doesn't go overboard. I'm not complaining about what they've got now (besides the nameplate nonsense) but that Edge set had some potential.I felt like the Flyers' Edge jersey was a good moden riff on their '70s look. Like you, I just wished they went with an orange jersey instead of black. But then they went full-throwback with their look and switched to a safety-cone shade of orange. The Flyers look worse now than they did at the Edge rollout, which is impressive in a perverse way.The Flyers Edge uniform was a fail in several ways.1. The sleeves tapered in to the neck line instead of being straight, which created a "little black dress" effect on the black jersey, and just an awkward look on the white.2. The black piping was just that - piping, instead of thicker ribbon trim like before. It didn't balance well against the logo. Honestly, having no black trim looks better to me than having too thin black trim.3. The Flyers "thing" has always been having orange or white sleeves. The Edge jerseys were basically orange or white shoulders, since the thing on the wrist came up to at least the elbow.4. No hem stripe, though this isn't that big a deal since it would have been black against the black pants anyway (but maybe could've avoided the diaper effect.)

However, a few posts back, someone pointed on how awful is the side view of the sleeves. So fix the awful looking spiky end, and then maybe it will be a step up over the current ones.

Only thing wrong with the current flyers jerseys are the nameplates. I'll even go as far as to call them one of the best looking teams in the league right now. Also your shade of orange looks no different from what is currently used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their current uniform is a throwback to the best the Flyers have ever looked and there's a very good reason for the contrasting nameplates. Also, they've been using the same shade of orange since the 1999-2000 season.Oh, wait, I forgot, you hate anything remotely traditional and/or conservative.

Sport Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 You don't need to go back to the awful edge 1.0 jerseys to fix the one problem with their current set - the contrasting nameplates. Just fix the nameplates and those uniforms are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
