However, with the season almost over, the Flyers are currently ranked 26th in the league, and it appears that they will miss the playoffs for a second year in a row. The team has already made some changes in their management by firing Chuck Fletcher, their General Manager, who was criticized for not being active enough during the trade deadline.
Many fans are disappointed and frustrated, as they feel that the team has lost its identity. The Flyers have a rich history of being known as the Broadstreet Bullies, a team that was tough and physical on the ice. This identity was beloved by the city of Philadelphia and was seen as the true essence of the team.
To try and recapture some of that old form, the Flyers are bringing back one of their most popular jerseys of all time, according to Flyers Nation. This move is seen as an attempt to connect with their fans and bring back some nostalgia to a time when the team was more successful and had a stronger identity. Whether this move will have any impact on the team's performance remains to be seen, but it shows that the Flyers are aware of their fans' concerns and are willing to make changes to improve the team's future.
The #Flyers are reportedly changing their home and road uniforms for the 2023-2024 seasonthrowing it back to the 80's and 90's.
They will also switch to the original shade of orange used from 1967-1999.
