Oh, I've had "Yes, dear" down pat for about 10 years. Now it's "Go ask your mother."



Okay, now I'm just confused.

Just get her a 50th anniversary jersey as a present for YOUR anniversary. If she doesn't understand then you made the wrong choice long ago

I don't think they're as bad as people make them out to be. Like a couple of you said they should bring back a black jersey for their alts

Not upset, just stating my opinion. It's not like I'm gonna lose a moment of sleep over a friggin hockey jersey.

Wasn't specifically referring to you or anyone on this board. More referring to those losers on Twitter. So if anyone of you are talking about it on Twitter then I'm referring to you

always was a fan of the black jerseys. They were better than this. Decidedly NOT a fan of the goldness.

May as well. Flyers will go 0-82. No reason to even ice a team.

I am one of the select few 'on the fence' about the new 'temporary' design. I like the gold around the flying P but think the rest is just a tad overkill. This time next year we'll be debating the possibilities of repeating as champs so, eh.

Some folks just can't seem to mentally connect the dots from 50th anniversary (AKA the golden anniversary) to the one-year addition of gold to the color scheme for in-game use 12 times.


I don't think that's it, Bill.

I, and many others understand why they are using gold.

It just doesn't look good.

Also not helpful: It is a primary color of one of their biggest rivals.

It is settled then. This season will be known as the one with the awful gold jerseys

Not referring to readers here. Referring to the social media crowd. Have seen dozens of folks who don't grasp why the gold is there in the first place.

Flyers also use black which is also a primary color of one of their biggest rivals

The jersey is hideous. Gold doesn't go with orange, it should have been kept to a minimum. Not a big deal though, at least I won't be tempted to buy one.
