Flyers Third Jerseys Hurt My Eyes

On Tuesday the Philadelphia Flyers unveiled their new third jerseys during an exclusive Season Ticket Holder Meeting, and all I have to say is I hope there were garbage cans or barf bags around because those things are terrible.

Sure I understand that the orange jerseys are part of the history of the Philadelphia Flyers, but I was hoping that's what it would remain, history. I thought there was a reason they got rid of the orange in the first place, and that it wouldn't rear it's ugly head again.

Were the designers going for the pumpkin look because somebody needs to tell them that Halloween was last month. Or maybe they're fine with the players looking like giant pylons. I mean because he's so slow, Flyers d-man Derian Hatcher is like a human pylon anyhow, at least now he'll look the part.

I'm also not a fan of the white block behind the lettering on the back. It looks like Red Green got hold of the jerseys and used the handyman's secret weapon (duct tape) and wrote the letters on with a sharpie.

These monstrosities make their on ice debut on November 28th against the Carolina Hurricanes, so make other plans that night.

Here's video of the unveiling, just in case you're into punishing your eyes. I would suggest putting on some sunglasses before pressing play. Thankfully as a safety precaution I always wear sunglasses indoors. I also like to pop my collar, but that's just the type of guy I am.
