Flyers Unveiling Third Jersey Tuesday
Monday · Nov 17 · 2008 | 9:33 AM PST
According to Philly Fan Fare (a sports blog from the Philadelphia Daily News), the Philadelphia Flyers will unveil their new orange third jersey tomorrow night at the "Meet The Team" event for season ticket holders.
Paul Vigna writes that the "new jerseys will go on sale the next day, Nov. 19, at philadelphiaflyers.com, and will be available for the first time in personat the Wachovia Center starting 7 a.m. on Black Friday (Nov. 28)."
Last week I posted the invitation to that event, which featured photos of the new sweater erasing any possibility of suspense. It turns out this will in fact serve as their official unveiling event. I'll try to have pictures here tomorrow.
By the way, I've got some unrelated notes briefly. You can now start rating the submitted logos for the North Division in the IceHL project. I'm honestly trying to get the voting started for the final three logos for the Pacific Division teams, but right now that and the Flashback '98 tournament are taking a back seat to third jersey news.
With any luck, that'll be over by the end of the month and I'll be able to get back to the IceHL, logo tournaments and concept art in full force in December.

Awesome, anyone know how the sizing runs with the new Reebok third jerseys?
Ironic that they debut the orange jerseys on Black Friday. Hopefully this is the first step to getting rid of black as one of their primary jerseys.

Well, I have XXL, and it's tight on me, I'm a 6'11" 300lb guy, so i think everyone else is safe :)
its pretty much the same with length and the sleeves....however it is tighter...i would suggest trying them on first...all the edge jerseys are made the same so it doesnt matter what one u try on...i usually get a large jersey (old cut) but ended up with a medium in the new RBK ones cuz it fit better...
Anyone know what the socks will look like? Retro orange with just one white stripe or is there black included? I kinda want to see just the orange and white.
Now we just need the Coyotes to unveil their jersey sooner for us NHL 09 guys.
can't wait to get this jersey!!!
Ya Flyers! Back over .500 now too! I think I might have to pick a jersey up for Xmas. I dont know if Id wanna wear it for shinny though..
