For me, it's under the "big goofy crap that is an eyesore and ruins uniforms and I can't believe it's lasted so long" category. Actually Philly has several elements that have stuck around forever: The contrasting nameplates, the Phillies sleeve numbers, and everything about the Eagles. 4 1 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

They could've just kept the existing uniforms but changed the shade of orange and it would've been fine. These are pointless and the contrasting nameplates continue to be terrible. 1 hour ago, CaliforniaGlowin said: I have no idea how anyone can look at the jerseys side by side and have that response.

seasaltvanilla Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Also a fan of the nameplates. Thickening the arm stripes for the shoulder numbers is a good move. Probably should have outlines to match the back numbers (or all single layer numbers). Lateral move with the hemstripe. Another example further cementing that the people who defended ads are clowns. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure people are going to notice Gritty has a new set of threads. In light of that, I will reserve judgement until I see these on the ice and also being modelled by that wonderful orange monstrosity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Yeah, I don't think most fans will notice (which makes me wonder what the change does for jersey sales). It's not quite "Vikings logo update" subtle but most fans don't get hung up on some of the details that have changed. The more I look at this the more I think the sleeve numbers look really cheap and beer league-ish and I'm starting to prefer the old ones. 3 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

dannykraft Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I'm ambivalent about the color change and hem, but I love the all-black collar. The white one on the home always felt like it stood out too much and the away color looked awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckDancer Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 So just as I predicted they went ahead and pulled an Ottawa and just used an inferior interpretation of an old classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 The reason I loved the previous set is because of all the little things that made them feel 1970's-esque....namely the over-lapping numbers (which I originally hated) and the contrasting nameplate. I also much prefer the previous hem stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEANS Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I just don't get the love with the Burnt Orange, yeah it has historical connections (TEX) but it just looks so drab. Also the Crest hasn't change although Chris used the non crest logo on his comparison page. 3 Quote https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I like new look overall. It’s cleaner. The one gripe is the black number on the sleeve. I wish it were orange outlined in black, but I get it’s an inverse of the back number. I think these may stick out too much, but it’s a relatively minor quibble.

BBTV Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I don’t understand how it’s “cleaner”. The previous ones were about as “clean” as it gets, and now there’s the distraction of the mismatched sleeve numbers. 5 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I think it’s that the numbers (while mismatched) fit inside the sleeve stripe, the bottom stripe matches the bottom of the arm, and the consistent collars. 5 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."Dr. Kelso: My son is a big baseball fan.

WSU151 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I wish the sleeve numbers were outlined (orange outlines on the black numbers and black outlines on the white), and get rid of the nameplates. 2 1 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

AFirestormToPurify Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Yup, the contrasting nameplates still suck Overall, the only improvement here is the new shade of orange, everything else is a downgrade, especially the disgraceful powder blue sponsor patch 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 They could use outlines, but I am beyond happy that they fixed the shoulder numbers; I hated how they bled off the arm stripes. It feels like the color balance is a little better on these as well (not too much white, more black). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikWings Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 10 hours ago, JohnnyCowboy5 said: I feel like it needs the black trim/piping to separate the orange and white, but that's not a deal breaker and my other nitpick is that the sleeve numbers give a knockoff feel without the outlines, but otherwise these are pretty good, the darker orange is an improvement. And we all know the ad is bad. Huge missed opportunity though by keeping the current black alternate, instead of color swapping the orange, but that might only be temporary. Those black jerseys from the Lindros era were beloved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The single-layer numbers look cheap as hell, the black nameplates on white are a contrivance, and it would have been nice to keep the black trim between white and orange. It's a shadow of what it should be, which tracks, because the Flyers organization is a shadow of what it once was.

habsfan1 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I like the new changes. They kept the nameplates, fixed the overlapping numbers, got a slightly darker shade. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
