The Philadelphia Flyers unveiled their reverse retro jerseys Thursday, and they will be worn for eight games during the 2022-23 season.



According to the Flyers, the design gives a championship-level look from the franchises Stanley Cup-winning seasons in 1973-74 and 1974-75, and integrates unique elements from multiple eras.

“It’s fun to wear a new jersey, and I thought the pants were a nice addition,” defenseman Travis Sanheim said. “I’m excited to get wearing them.”

Also returning for the first time since the 1981-82 and 1982-83 seasons are Cooperalls, the full-length black nylon pants with an orange stripe down each leg. They will only be worn during warm-ups.

The reverse retro jerseys will be worn for eight games, beginning Nov. 8 against visiting St. Louis, coached by former Flyers coach and player Craig Berube.

The jerseys are available for pre-sale at shop.wfcphilly.com.

Here is the schedule for when the jerseys will be worn at Philadelphia Flyers home games:

  • Tuesday, Nov.  8 vs. St. Louis Blues.
  • Wednesday, Nov. 23 at Washington Capitals.
  • Friday, Nov. 25 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins | NHL Thanksgiving showdown.
  • Thursday, Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | ‘80s Throwback Thursday.
  • Thursday, Dec. 15 at New Jersey Devils.
  • Thursday, Jan. 5 vs. Arizona Coyotes | 90s Throwback Thursday.
  • Saturday, Jan. 14 at Washington Capitals.
  • Thursday, Jan. 19 vs. Chicago Blackhawks | 2000s Throwback Thursday.

I liked the Cooperalls when they wore them in the early 80s. NHL gave a ridiculous reason why they prohibited them by saying opposing goalies had trouble seeing the puck through the black legs. They were a more modern look. The League should consider allowing them. It would be better than the advertisements now permitted on jerseys. Soon, players will be skating billboards.

The jerseys have a simple and clean look. They simply reversed the colors of the striping, which is the point.
