Don't see the need for a 3rd jersey

I used to like black, but I think too many teams around sports are using it as an alternate.

Agreed.

I could get on board with this as a matinee 3rd:



I like the white nameplate and the thick simple trim. Vintage.

i'd lose the orange/white on the shoulders but use that striping pattern on the arms and waist instead of the triple.

JerseyDatabase?

I like that as well, those dont look bad at all!

I just googled Flyers concepts and scrolled though. Do you know of any databases I could play with and make a concept on my own?

A quick google search yielded nothing

Can't really argue with that. However, black is actually a part of the Flyers logo so it's ok for them to use a black jersey
- Giroux_Is_God


Yeah. I really hate when teams switch colors for alternates. The Oregon Ducks drive me crazy.

Edit: Even if a team goes to an alternate, you should still know who is playing based on colors.

I could dig it.

Shoulder patterns can be ballsy. Either look really good or really not so good.

Dude I don't even know what colors they are any more they change their home and away schemes and jerseys every year and wear like 2 alternates throughout the season

EDIT: It depends on what they switch to. I for one really thought the Pens winter classics were cool. They don't wear blue, but they incorporated into the logo well. If you switch colors, at least pick a color that's going to make sense with your logo as is, not just some random scheme

I think they have 40 different jerseys and even more pants. I believe they have almost an infinite amount of combinations they can wear.

The CEO and founder of NIKE is an Oregon Alum I believe. Thats why they have all this poop.

A fine edit. I agree for the most part.

Wings really taking it to the Broons here.

That's exactly why. He donated some ridiculous amount to the school like 10 years ago and now they have these state of the art football and basketball facilities and weight rooms and everything else athletics. Money talks loudly in college.

Indeed. Have to sit here and "root" for the Bruins though so we can get that second rounder. That'd be awesome

All of this money is poured into college sports and none of it goes to taxes or the players. No one knows where it all goes.

Im rooting for the Bruins because I don't want to see the Pens or Rangers reach the finals. I feel the door swings wide open if the Bruins are eliminated.

Also a valid point.

I don't think the Pens make it past next round honestly.

Also, the Rangers won't make it out of this one

Hate the black jerseys. Just one of many pro teams (Esp football) that went to a black jersey in the mid 2000's. At least with the flyers black was always pas color (unlike eagles)

So am I. Of all the team, I want San Jose to win if the Flyers are eliminated. They have some decent fans and they have several veterans who have had great careers but haven't won a cup. I want 2real to be happy too.

Edit: I view Boston as the lesser of 3 evils
