Roger Clemente Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'm not against the "vintage white" being used for a throwback/"faux-back" (a la the Senators and the retired Blackhawks and Penguins thirds), but I can help but feel that this Flyers third jersey would look a lot better with regular white than vintage white, especially as it's not a "faux-back". I have the same issue with the Blue Jackets third as well, but I do like the Jackets' and Flyers' thirds regardless, but they'd both look a lot better with white. Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I really like that third jersey and was hoping they would have used it last year. It just seems odd they waited till now. Its a great combination of old and new because it contains elements (in terms of sweater design) of the old Philadelphia Quakers.Its a sharp looking Jersey and how anyone would want those generic black jerseys they wore awhile back as the third is beyond me.Of course I hate the while nameplates but then again they have that on their current homes.

oddball Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The problems I have with the Flyers third are the same issues with their regular jerseys, the different color name plate which looks horrible, and then the "vintage" white. What I love is the orange strip on the pants. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I got to briefly see the new Blues uniforms in action in their preseason game against Columbus today. They look great in motion. Good job, St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much all it is."We should have a third jersey. They change it up, give us something to promote, and they make money.""Alright, you have any ideas in mind? Something new that the fans will love?""Uh....nope. How about that Winter Classic jersey?""Will people buy it again?""There'll be no Winter Classic patch on it, so it's different""Alright, I'm sold."So we've seen Pittsburgh use theirs...twice. Washington uses theirs, Philly's first is now their away jersey, Chicago used theirs, Toronto uses theirs, Detroit would bust out their first one now and then...And we've never seen the return of one of the best ones: Boston.

Morgan33 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Boston used theirs twice in the regular season following the classic. They really should have made it the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have brought it back as the third or if the brown equipment was too much of a hassle, make a gold/black version. Would've been the perfect compliment to that already perfect set.

Would've been the perfect compliment to that already perfect set.Wholeheartedly agree. Their existing primaries plus the yellow jersey = best set in the league when viewed in totality. Is there another team with three jerseys that look as good? A decent topic for debate. I don't think any team that sports three jerseys on a consistent basis would be close. The Wild, to me, would be next, but they have many flaws... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEANS Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 There's about a dozen years post-Cooperals and pre-black thirds where the Flyers looked a lot better than this.I don't mind the WC third, even if it is a bit inexplicable to bring it back now. I think it uses a shade of orange closer to "warm red" than "traffic cone", the sleeve numbers actually fit in the design, and I'm a total sucker for that keystone Captain's letter.Thanks! https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they wanted to show the home fans the uniform because the game was played in Chicago. It was in no way a third jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 UNPOPULAR OPINION: These are fine as a throwback alt but too dated to become a primary jersey. Love the colors but the striping would need updating. Black and Yellow: Boston Bruins Black and Gold: Pittsburgh Penguins Couldn't address this until I got the official specs, but I was correct: Both the Bruins and Penguins' thirds use the exact same shade of Gold.

Morgan33 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Didn't Boston try and prevent the Penguins from using Black, White and Gold back in the early 80's, saying it encroached on their identity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell will probably freeze over before they bring back the blue, copper, and black of the '90sWinter Classics are meant to be a bit more vintage right? If I'm not mistaken they just use their white 'old-school' uniform, so maybe they'll just whip out a red version. I mean there's not much else they could throw back to that'll fit the 'Classic' theme, unless they come up with something completely new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
