TruColor Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 CWx - how much different is the current throwback orange from the '90s orange?I just caught this request - hadn't even looked at this thread until now...Current colors (including throwbacks):The shade of Orange was changed between the 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 seasons.

Linus Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 The Flyers should just make an orange version of the home/away jerseys they wore this past season. Im not a fan of this jersey. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'd call it day-glo, but it's bright and vastly different shade of orange when compared to the orange on the current home & away. I'll have to get a picture of the jerseys next to each other.EDIT: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKAK Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Tavares is officially wearing #91Hmm... Are the Isles following in the Rangers footsteps and hemming up the stupid curve at the bottom? Or am I just seeing the picture wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchockey Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 ^ quirky fact: Smyth wears 94 because that's the year he graduated from high school... and the number of different hair sprays he uses.I would love to have a window like that with the Canucks logo somewhere in my room...

Billy B Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Tavares is officially wearing #91Hmm... Are the Isles following in the Rangers footsteps and hemming up the stupid curve at the bottom? Or am I just seeing the picture wrong?That jersey he is wearing is just a replica. It has the jock tag and the replica jerseys don't have the curved bottoms.

John in KY Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I hate how the two digits don't fit onto the white panel. Ugh.I agree. It looks sloppy. One of the few times I think "historical accuracy" needs to be forsaken for common sense.The Flyers have been able to fit both on the jersey before, I don't see why they can't now, unless it's the damn EDGE template that's causing this.It's not the Edge template, it's the year the orange jersey is supposed to represent. Aren't the Flyers orange jerseys supposed to be throwbacks to circa 1972-1974 (which is why they also include the white nameplate)? The version with the wider stripe section came later in the 1970s (after their two cup wins). The original version of the jersey (which the current orange replicates) was designed without sleeve numbers; the numbers always looked kind of tacked on until they made the stripes a bit wider to fit the numbers.However, even though the current orange jersey has serious historical meaning for Flyers fans, count me in the group that thinks it would look better if they went with the wider stripe section like the late 70s versions in the photo above.
