The Flyers make their way to the Meadowlands on Saturday, February 17 to take on the New Jersey Devils in the Stadium Series.

And, finally, they have released their uniforms:

The sweater includes an extended nameplate that stretches all the way around to create “sleeve stripes” with the classic Flyers look. The whole thing comes together in Burnt Orange. The jersey initially received a blah response on social media with Flyers fans hoping for the 1990s style of dark orange or their older black ones. 

The NHL was going for “oversized numbers, letters and graphics that convey a futuristic vision of hockey, played outdoors in stadium settings,” for the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, and Flyers’ jerseys.

The Flyers said this in their release:

The Philadelphia Flyers, National Hockey League (NHL) and adidas today unveiled the 2024 adidas Authentic NHL Stadium Series jersey for the 2024 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series. Specifically designed for the Flyers vs. Devils matchup, the special-edition uniforms will make their on-ice debut when the Flyers hit the rink outdoors at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, February 17. The game will be broadcast at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN+.

The 2024 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series special-edition jersey features bold, statement designs including oversized numbers, letters and Flyers crest magnified to scale for MetLife Stadium. Most notably, the Flyers unique contrast name plate is stretched along the entire width of the sweater, creating the full black stripe complementing the Flyers official burnt orange stripe along the sleeve.

This year’s jerseys also include additional depth to adidas’ Primegreen dimensional cresting that feature layers of twill, embroidery and raised embroidery that add a pique texture. Customizing the jersey to the event, “STADIUM SERIES” appears on the inside back neck of each jersey, rendered in the Flyers’ distinctive font.

The jerseys are currently available for preorder on the Wells Fargo Center’s website. A blank jersey is $189.99. For jerseys of a specific player are $259.99. The players who are available for preorder are Cam Atkinson, Joel Farabee, Travis Sanheim, Jamie Drysdale, Owen Tippett, Tyson Foerster, Sean Couturier, Travis Konecny, and Samuel Ersson

Personally, I think the jersey is fine. The nameplate going around the sleeve is weird and so are the numbers. The helmet is also bad with a large number on the right and the logo just on the left. The more I look at them, though, the more I do not mind them. They are the definition of ok.

Here are all the jerseys:
