Link to the actual article for those interested. Flyers Reach Back Through Time for New Uniforms and Colours in 2023-24 – SportsLogos.Net News Thought fans here might find this interesting. Seems along with some of the house cleaning going on, the Flyers are also looking to aesthetically change the product on the ice by going back to the shade of orange used in the rough n tumble 80's and uniform designs and lines that fit that mold as well. These aren't final yet, but I understand whatever the final product is, will be very close to those former 'hard ass' teams of the past. Obviously, the team still needs better higher end players in order to truly change the culture there, but I thought this was a nice way to try and put certain things in the rearview and attempt to go back to what was always considered "Flyers Hockey"...at least visually. From my TB Lightning point of view, I could learn to hate your team once again, as THESE are the colors and sweater types that terrorized my little scrappy 90's Lightning teams way back when For those that might not understand (I doubt it, many of you are long time fans and know very well what is going on), being "hated" by other fanbases can be a good thing.....becasue it means they find you threatening and don't want THEIR team facing you in any sort of playoff scenarios. Bolts were liked by many for a long time. Two straight Cup wins later, I have found many who despise the Lightning. Yay for me! But anyways....this is only a cosmetic change for Philadelphia, sure, but if it goes hand in hand with changing out the faces and thought processes of the current front office, AND Philly goes and and starts getting better players to wear these new unis, then, if I am a Fly fan, I am liking this overhaul. It would definitely be worth other fans 'hating' the team once again! Discuss.

Yes...He took umbrage when I said "The Wild don't need no stinkin Kaprizov". I can't imagine why.

Beat the defending SC Champions while fending them off for the division lead, AND adding on to said lead? Absolutely!

Fantasy-wise, Zuccarello has failed me again, BUT, Gustavsson got me some nice numbers to go with the Widl win!

Hear that sound, Wild fans? Ya hear it?? I do... It's the sound of Avs fans stampeding to the exits after Freddie's game icer!

Yes!! That takes care of that... The Diet Coke of Gaudreaus....the low calorie Gaudreau.... the game SEALING Gaudreau!

6 on 4 for sure now. The ONLY saving grace here is, the Wild can ice this for the remaining 50 seconds. Still though...what a way to make things needlessly difficult!

Oh. Wow. Of all things.... delay of game???? Cmon Spurge....

There goes Georgiev....Wild need to control the puck now...

Haha... Gotta love the Reddit Avs fans completely in disbelief over the non-call!

Love seeing MacKinnon knocked on his arse by Sundquist!

Hah! It seems the Post Gods have now forsaken the Avalanche!

Atta boys, Wild. Walk away from the nonsense. Avs are flustered and trying to get you to take a penalty or go 4 on 4. They aren't too happy about their guys getting knocked around like pinballs either..

Newhook....GETS HAMMERED!

More great stick work, another good kill as a result...and even when the defense errs, Gustavsson is there to pick his team up!

Not sure what supplement was put into Minnesota's water bottles, but whatever it is, they need to keep using it! Their hand-eye coordination has been impeccable tonight through two periods with their stickwork! They keep disrupting Colorado potential plays, syphoning the puck to the proper areas, then moving it up the ice quickly and efficiently. And all without taking a bunch of hooking, tripping, or interference penalties.

Gus says...NO!!! Twice!

Yea, someone pointed that part out to me some weeks ago when I complained of a "zooming car" that was running around the rink for some car insurance. I was like...HTF are players supposed to concentrate with graphics zipping around them like that? Overlays. Thats how. For us...the home viewing audience. Ok well, if they can keep ads there and keep them mostly off the jerseys I guess I can live with it..

Ok, just confirmed it because now there is a NHL on TNT logo where the Jersey Mike's logo was....it's a TV overlay. Thankfully, the players don't have to deal with that.

Not sure if that is actually there, or if it's a TV overlay for the home viewers. Either way, I am half expecting players to TRIP over it!

The MAF cheering section certainly liked that Gaudreau goal!

The UN-JOHNNY! Gaudreau-lite! 1 small calorie...now you see him...now you don't! Short handed goal gives the Avs indigestion! 3-1 Wild!

Maybe it's just me, but I am very bothered by that big ol obnoxious "Jersey Mike's" logo just inside each blue line. It's a &^%$ing eyesore!

He is rehearsing for when Kap gets back!

Dallas fans CAN'T be happy with the development in the Central. Stars controlled the division almost all year, then slump a bit, while the Avs and Wild play out of their gourds and catch them, and now it's basically a flat footed three team race the rest of the way for the division title and home ice against everyone except possibly the winner of the Pacific.
