jammer2 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Early Saturday, the Flyers unveiled their new "stadium style" uniforms to be worn at their outdoor game against the Pens in January. I'm a fan. Not overly busy, straight forward but classy. The black background makes the logo pop IMHO. The nameplate, still a bit awkward, but that is their new style, like it or not. The new uni's come on the heels of their outdoor opponents, the Penguins new jersey, which has an awful lot of yellow. I'm biased, the Flyers look a lot more effective. The Flyers will also wear this attire when hosting the Penguins on March 15th in Philly. https://sports.yahoo.com/news/pass-or-fail-philadelphia-flyers-2017-stadium-series-jersey-photos-132649173.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I really, really like these. I put in a request for #9 at the top of my Christmas list. I can't believe the Flyers may only be wearing them twice this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe the Flyers may only be wearing them twice this year. Just saw the dates of the 2 games, Feb 25th on a Saturday night for the outdoor game, and I got the date wrong for the 2nd game they wear them, it's officially March 5th, not the 15th like I posted earlier. The 2nd time they wear them will also be against the Pens, this time on Wednesday night on NBC's Rivalry Night. Broad street comments on the new jersey....they make a valid point, the numbers on the back, all black with a single white line on the all black jersey could inevitably be a problem for the outdoor game, after all, it is gonna be a night game, might make seeing the numbers a bit tough. Also...they don't show them, but the helmet is supposed to be very nice, all black with orange logo and letters. Ditto for the gloves, predominately black with orange highlights. http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2016/12/10/13907052/philadelphia-flyers-black-nhl-stadium-series-jersey-2017-outdoor-game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I really don't like the name plate. It makes the spacing on the back really weird. Yeah, "awkward" is probably a good word. And valid point about the numbers. It's really only a C, for me, if I'm grading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll see them just fine on my big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they did not get to busy with them. The socks are very cool with the one single wider white stripe. Efficient look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I like the overall design, I am not a fan of, like Rux, of the 'name plate' look. Even on the Flyers regular season sweaters, that name plate thing just sticks out like a sore thumb...almost like a name was just "slapped on" the back of an otherwise, well designed sweater. I think something could have been done better with the letters around the name...maybe give them a brighter border to make them stand out...and blend in the square edges of the name plate so they don't stand out. Otherwise, sharp sweaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheslot Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Have to wait to see what they look like in action. Its the crest on the front not the name plate on the back ..... Go Flyers..rock the cat walk . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Jerseys, orange sleeves, still a nod to the classic design, but they get to have their predominantly black sweaters that they seem to like. Alternatively, I say do the same thing with the road jerseys. Orange sweaters with black sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakanekimiwa Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Love these sweaters. Don't usually get excited about any of the 3rd jerseys, but these are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Consensus seems to be: folks like them but the nameplate is not quite right - needs some white. There's no shortage of aggressive whiteness in the world right now, how could the Flyers miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakanekimiwa Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yeah.. maybe it's a bit better with the Name lettering in white. I dunno, though, I'm ok with the knockout black looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White outlining the black letters on the orange nameplate, like the sleeve numbers are, would be perfect...make 'em pop a touch more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
