AFirestormToPurify 396 Posted February 3 1 hour ago, Sport said: The real crime of our awful Reverse Retro jerseys is that they were too chicken to put Stinger on the shoulders or the pants. Also, it deprived us of a true throwback uniform for our 20th anniversary. Instead we got some weird Capitals cosplay. I'm a little bitter about that. The green made what is an otherwise stale and overused color scheme throughout sports more interesting and set them apart from the other navy blue and red teams in sports. My favorite part was they made sure to work the green onto the gloves of every player. I love the C flag logo they've been using for nearly 18 years now and I've come around on the cannon alternates, but I do have a soft spot for those original uniforms. Agreed 100%, except for the cannon 3rds ahah. Never liked those, and the fact that they came out when half the teams in the league had a double blue fauxback jersey with a roundel logo doesn't help 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only people who would want to honor Edina for something is someone from Edina. Everyone else pretty much hates Edina here in Minnesota.

B-mer 984 Posted February 4 I love the Flyers RR. They should switch back to this design, whether new color arrangement or classic. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ldconcepts 2,187 Posted February 4 Interesting that they're using their current number font on the navy helmets... either they're the stickers they already have on hand or they're thinking of doing the opposite of their gold Saturdays 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFirestormToPurify 396 Posted February 4 That shade of orange looks so much better than what they usually wear. And no stupid contrasting nameplates. I'd give these a solid 8/10. The 80s/90s template was better than the 60s/70s one 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These jerseys, minus the helmet ads, should be their primary jerseys, with the white and orange flipping for the away jerseys. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFirestormToPurify 396 Posted February 4 And they're wearing them 7 times! I thought 6 was the upper limit. Yeah I know, one of those is an outdoors game, technically 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bayne 1,128 Posted February 4 I like the Flyers' RR. The orange is darker, and the addition of black makes the jerseys heavier and meaner. I think it suits the Flyers well. I've got tired of their bright orange and white jerseys, especially with the new template how the collar area is all messed up. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seasaltvanilla 1,018 Posted February 4 9 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: What I hate about this sweater is the stripes don't match, and the color hierarchy is all wrong. The Wild should be a green-red-wheat team, but this jersey is green-wheat-red (and just a few years ago they were red-green-wheat!). It's especially jarring when contrasted with the away sweaters, where green and red are properly balanced. Having the very thin red outline on the numbers also looks terrible against the green. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always hated them, but the RRs just make them look so underdesigned and a little too trendy, like the Oilers'...poor attempt at an alternate uniform. The alts for Philly look like they were trying to a bad NHL version of the NFL's colour rush :censored:. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's nicer when the Flyers jersey has an outline around the arm stripe and that the shape is adjusted so that the full number can fit inside. The orange 2007 RBK version I thought was pretty good. I do like the contrasting nameplates, though. It's a unique feature for a team with a history of using it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bayne 1,128 Posted February 4 9 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: Aside from the fact that this logo is obviously leaning backwards and it annoys me so much, I much prefer the green and red version. The Wild look much better to me in a rich, earthy colour palette. Yellow and green is fine but it cheapens the brand IMO, and losing the wheat accent tone and replacing it with white removes some nice added heft that the current logo has, which I like. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well in an ideal world, wheat colored helmets wouldn't look disgusting and they could get away with a wheat away jersey lol 10 minutes ago, Osgiliath-Guard said: Damn, the RRs make the alternates look SOOO bad.

The alts for Philly look like they were trying to a bad NHL version of the NFL's colour rush :censored:. I don't think they're bad, just a bit plain. It's the huge sleeve numbers, contrasting nameplates and hollow back numbers that look awful. With normal lettering, they would look decent imo. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed a Color Rush vibe to a few recent alternates. Dallas is especially guilty of it. Trying to cash in on the Cowboy's popularity I guess, so I can't really blame them but mono white just doesn't work with hockey uniforms They're gonna wear the RR more than the true alternates this year.

I get that they've done it before, but that was a looong time ago and the reason for even doing it in the first place was because they were cheap. I'm sorry, contrasting nameplates look cheap and gimmicky. Just cause it's been done before doesn't mean they had to do it again. I get that they're trying to make it "their thing" but it's just another gimmick like when Buffalo used chest numbers 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
