The Philadelphia Flyers will be wearing new uniforms with a heavy throwback look to them when they take the ice next season.
According to SportsLogos.Net’s reliable sources, the Flyers will soon be introducing new home and road uniforms for the 2023-24 season. These uniforms will use colours and design elements heavily inspired by portions of uniforms worn previously during the club’s 56-year history.
Before I get into a detailed breakdown, I’ve made a quick mockup of what I’m anticipating (based on what I’ve been told); note this may not be 100% exactly right, but it should be pretty darn close to what they wear:
Of course, the new uniform will be on the modern Adidas cut with that big collar thing and an NHL shield in there; for ease of Photoshopping, I simply used photos from the ’90s for this mockup and edited where necessary.
So what’s the difference? I’ll explain:
Starting with the colours, sources tell SportsLogos.Net that the Flyers will be bringing back their original shade of orange, which is a bit bolder than what the club is currently using.
The home orange and road white uniform designs will be a throwback to the style used for a quarter century from 1982 to 2007 — the ones with very wide stripes down each arm, made famous by former Flyers such as Eric Lindros, Rod Brind’Amour, Mark Recchi, Jeremy Roenick, and Ron Hextall. These uniforms all originally used that aforementioned shade of orange that the Flyers will be flipping back to.
There will be some changes, of course. The black trim that borders those wide sleeve stripes will not be returning, and the single orange or black stripe (depending on the jersey) that appears before the patch of black near the cuffs will also be gone.

The back of the jerseys adds another Flyers uniform element that was never worn with this style — the coloured nameplates, initially worn for a brief period in the 1970s and then again full-time from 2010 right up until the present day.
Note: there will not be a black uniform; there will not be an alternate uniform for the Flyers in 2023-24. Just the home orange and road white. Aside from the change to the shade of orange, the logo will remain exactly the same (and rightfully so!).
The Flyers last updated their uniforms back in 2010 when they ditched the initial Reebok Edge re-design after just three seasons immediately following their run to the Stanley Cup Final.
