The Philadelphia Flyers surprised many with a gold-touched jersey this week. Where does this style fall in the history of Flyers jerseys?
The Philadelphia Flyers are generally not a team to chase trendy looks. Although they’ve gone through a few 3rd jerseys, and tweaked their main jerseys once every few years recently, you always pretty much know what you’re gonna get.
The Flyers have always been the “Orange and Black,” with a simple design. When the Flyers unveiled their new 50th anniversary jersey the other day, they brought gold into the mix. This was their first truly new direction in a long time.
It is likely that the use of gold is a one time thing, in recognition of their “golden” anniversary. A one-off, disposable jersey is also a new thing for the franchise, and this look is already polarizing Flyers fans.
Before anyone gets too riled up by a jersey that may only be worn 12 times ever, here’s a look at some of the worst and best looks the Philadelphia Flyers have sported over the years.
