My only two jerseys are a blank CCM 90s away and a Lindros pre-captaincy CCM home. Looking directly at them and it's just hilarious that they took that perfect template and went "WE CAN MAKE IT DIFFERENT THO!" Seriously just put the piping on, fix the numbers and socks, and be done with it.
And it was so obvious this was going to happen.
They were going to meddle. It's almost inevitable when teams introduce new jerseys.
"Hey, we'll have callbacks to different eras of Flyers uniforms! The monotone black sleeve numbers from '67. The contrasting nameplate from the early 70s and the last 10 years! An orange that's closer to the '84-'97 jerseys! But we'll eliminate the piping so it's different, too!"
Ugh. The Flyers' uniform shouldn't be a Frankensteined quilt of prior jerseys. It should be cohesive.
They had it. There was a reason the '84-'97 jerseys were classics. But whoever was in charge of design couldn't resist the urge to F with a good thing to make it THEIRS.
The new white jerseys I can live with. It's the orange jerseys with the white sleeves and monotone black numbers that are particularly appalling.
Those black sleeve numbers need an orange outline or, if they're going to be monotone, then they should be orange monotone.
It also doesn't make sense for both jerseys that the numbers on the back are outlined but the sleeve numbers are not. Again, incohesive.
Sigh.
