The Philadelphia Flyers in cleats?

I saw this today and immediately thought of our favorite contrasting nameplates. Not sure why this exists. Nameplates in HS *are* rare, though.

If I had to guess the school probably uses white nameplates on both their red and white jerseys for money or supply reasons. Or perhaps their PA announcer has poor eyesight and they did this for increased contrast.

I just did PA for the Erie Explosion vs Cincinnati Commandos game (Indoor Football) and Cincy had contrasting nameplates. Personally, I think it worked really well

Their road jerseys are actually silver, not white, and have the slightest green tint to them. Probably the best identity in indoor football, imo

To even have nameplates in HS is strange. Most HS uniforms are NNOB.

I'm confused, how does the title of the thread go with the actual thread?

The Philadelphia Flyers have a nameplate that does not match the color of the jersey its on.

Oh wow, I totally forgot about that I was not thinking thank you!

When I was in high school, my school paid for the football players' jerseys, and then if the player chipped in the extra (think it was $15 or $20), the school would order their jersey with their name on the back. So half the team had NOBs, and half didn't.

And I think these non-matching nameplates are a silly gimmick. On some dark jerseys (Flyers' orange), it definitely makes sense because either white or black lettering wouldn't contrast. But on that silver jersey Hockey Week posted, a silver nameplate with dark lettering should have sufficed.
