Philadelphia Flyers
Which Flyers Jersey Would You Like to See Return?
The Colorado Avalanche are reportedly reviving the Blue Nordiques jerseys. That is pretty special. Beyond that, the New Jersey Devils are expected to be bringing the black “Jersey” jerseys back as well.
So what? Why care? Well, cool uniforms rock, and are worth talking about.
The Philadelphia Flyers have several slick sweaters from the past. Is there anything you want to see revived? I know I have my opinions. For me, the reverse retros were some of my favorites. The thing missing from both? A black base.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the Flyers’ current black jersey. To me, they’re good, not great.
You know which black jerseys were spectacular? The Eric Lindros, Peter Forsberg, even Rick Tocchet, if you will, era black jersey.
If I could bring back any Flyers jersey, it would be those. In my mind, it’s an absolute need.
The Flyers currently have three uniforms in rotation: home orange, away white, and the alternate black. Adrian Dater reported that the Avs will be reviving their Nordiques reverse retro with a blue version.
That got me thinking, what if the Flyers revived their reverse retro?

The Vision
Ok, so hear me out. It would be almost identical to the jersey I was talking about earlier, but take the reverse retro sweater pictured above. Then, flip the colors around. Make the burnt orange parts black, the white parts burnt orange, and the black parts white.
I’d also like to see the Flyers keep the burnt orange numbering.
To me, that would be the perfect sweater. Again, don’t get me wrong. I do like the current black sweaters, but they could easily be better. These hypothetical black sweaters would be light years better.
The Flyers should absolutely bring the black sweaters back. Would you like to see these uniforms return, or would you like to see something else?

The current black jersey sucks in plain English.
The 90s early 2000s black one would work since it’s just a pallet swap.id prefer a tougher more Judas Priest esque look myself but all the soy boys that make up the attendance probably would find that too aggressive.
1973-1974 uniform
Yes, they should replace the current black jerseys, which are not that great, with the older black ones you’re talking about. Those were sharp.
Get rid of the black altogether. It’s a tired idea. Let’s move past the Deion Sanders and the Atlanta Falcons era.
I’m a fan from the beginning and honestly, compared to other teams, our jerseys suck. All they do is reshuffle the colors. We need a change in style. Something that is busy. Like patches on the shoulders of the teams establishment or tilt the logo with orange and black stripes coming off of them. We should be afraid to step out there with the design. But I personally would like to see a jersey with Philly written on it with the Flyers logo under it. That would be so cool. Anything is better than the boring jerseys we have now. The only cool looking jersey we have is the black one with the orange bans on the arms and the black numbers outlined in white. I say trash the others and start from scratch. Give us something cool to wear for once!!!
1973-1974 home and away uniforms should be brought back
This is something. It’s called being iconic. Why change something that has stood the test of time. I’m going to guess you are on the younger side. Hell no to putting wording on the Jerseys, It does not look cool, and would just be copycating other teams that already do it. The current black jerseys are the 2nd worst Jersey, only behind the 3D metallic look from the early 2000’s.
The only correct answer is the Lindros era black jersey, with some small upgrades to modernize,
I’d just like to see them bring back the uniforms with the little Stanley Cup on the front signifying that they won the Cup the previous year.
Of course, we need to win the Cup first to do that.
Take a page from the Phillies city uniforms. Write Philly across the front, but keeping the same orange, white and black color scheme.
