They could prove me wrong but I’ve yet to see an idea that improves upon their classic design. I've said it before, but I think the Medicine Hat Tigers have a better Flyers jersey than the Flyers. The Tigers dark jerseys are black (hence the colour position change here in the white jersey) with orange sleeves and white cuffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Of course the Canucks new Skate jersey has no white. When they brought the 94' jersey back, they couldn't even get the crest right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And change the C/A back to black outlined in white (instead of the current white outlined in black). When you see Lindros and LeClair photos from the 90s, the black letters just look better (though apparently the font changed a bit along the way, as the A's below aren't quite the same). Sometimes It amazes me at how bright arena lighting is, because the orange was never as vibrant in real life as shown below...but the vibrancy here just looks great and adds to the legend of this set, IMO: 4 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Nordiks_19 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Maybe something based on their 2012's winter classic look, but with white and no contrasting nameplate ? They didn't mention it was a " brand new " design so who knows ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rangers are a blue team. The Kings are a black team. The Coyotes are....???? Always in the red -- In a way I prefer this colour for the Coyotes and I can appreciate the use of a Kachina design like their primary set, but its use here isn't well thought out. The wordmark looks like it was made for something else and the slightly jagged (rocky?) design isn't helping. The cactus 'A' patch is cute I guess. 1 Quote PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has worked in design know how often bad designs come from meddling clients who have no real conception about art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riccirulesall Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 shame that the flyers are going with a brand new design, would've love to see them go back to a 90s or reverse retro 1.0 look. I think this was a very strong design with better color distribution that emphasized black over white, which i think gives them way more of a punch than the white. just overall more striking and matches the logo. at the very least go back to the old orange and get rid of the contrasting nameplate. I like the new orange in a vacuum, but the old shade just seems to fit philly as a city better. mean and hard nosed 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFirestormToPurify Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Why do I feel like we're all gonna be hugely disappointed by Philly? I feel like they're gonna try way too hard and end up missing the mark by a mile when they only had to fix the shade of orange, drop the stupid contrasting nameplates, hollow captain letters and revert back to solid black gloves to have a 10/10 uniform 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you mean by "mean and hard nosed" though, as its pretty hard for me to associate that to orange as a whole. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that after the revival of the popular Kachina logo theyd go with text - anything to make a buck, I suppose. IMO worst downgrade is the hem pattern- the original is just worlds better than this. Stick the old howling coyote logo on there (or anything other than a wordmark) and it's not that bad. It's still mediocre but at least better. EDIT: NVM. Just saw the side panels. Those are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckDancer Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 It's really starting to get to the point where I have almost no faith in anyone when it comes to designing a good alternate jersey. It's so bad that honestly, many of these teams (Philly, Arizona, Toronto, Dallas, Washington, Tampa, Carolina) would have been better off using one of their reverse retro jerseys instead of their actual third as an alternate. Some of these reverse retros like Philly, Washington, Carolina and TB were in my opinion even better than their main home jersey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunat1 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I agree that the Flyers have a classic brand, and I think that's why it's gonna be so difficult for some people to accept whatever changes may come. Despite its "classic" status though, I've never particularly liked the Flyers' jerseys. The uninterrupted white-orange transition on the home sweater looks really jarring to me, and I don't like any jersey design where the yoke continues down the sleeve (especially this one). So much about it looks awkward, dated, and calling for a change, but I really don't trust the team to make those changes successfully. All in all, I think that the team needs new uniforms now just as much as they have for the last few decades. Whatever way they take it, just make it an improvement. I don't want a bad set with some history to be replaced by a bad set that was introduced out of the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
