===Jerseys=== As with his logo design, Ciccone's [[hockey jersey|jersey]] design was meant to represent speed.<ref name="colornamelogo"/> The [[home (sports)|home]] jersey was orange with a white stripe down each shoulder and down the arms (meant to represent wings)<ref name="colornamelogo"/> with a white number on the back and black sleeve numbers. The [[away colours|away]] jersey was white with orange striping, an orange number on the back and white sleeve numbers. Other than a few minor alterations to the [[number (sports)|numbers]] and the switch the NHL made to wear white at home and dark on the road for [[1970β71 NHL season|1970β71]], this general design was used until the end of the [[1981β82 NHL season|1981β82 season]]. The Flyers unveiled second-generation jerseys for the [[1982β83 NHL season|1982β83 season]]. The main difference was the increased width of the shoulder and arm stripes with black trim added to the border of the stripes. Also, a pinstripe (black for the white jersey, orange for the dark) was added to the bottom of each sleeve. With the exception of a similarly designed black jersey replacing the orange and the NHL switching back to wearing darks at home and whites on the road prior to [[2003β04 NHL season|2003β04]], this design was used until the end of the [[2006β07 NHL season|2006β07 season]]. Many NHL teams started using third jerseys during the mid-1990s and the Flyers unveiled a black third jersey that was similar in design to their second-generation jerseys during the [[1997β98 NHL season|1997β98 season]]. During the [[2000 Stanley Cup playoffs]], the black jersey became the primary dark jersey with the orange jersey being retired after the [[2000β01 NHL season|2000β01 season]] (although it was worn for one final game early in the following season on Halloween night). In [[2002β03 NHL season|2002β03]], a new orange third jersey was introduced which was a radical departure from any jersey the Flyers had used before. Unique striping and fonts were used along with the aforementioned metallic 3D logo and the first use of a color other than orange, black or white on a Flyers jersey β silver/gray. These jerseys were used until the end of the [[2006β07 NHL season|2006β07 season]]. The Flyers, along with the rest of the NHL, unveiled new [[NHL uniform#Since 2007: Reebok Edge|Rbk Edge]] jerseys prior to the [[2007β08 NHL season|2007β08 season]]. The black jersey featured white shoulders with orange and black sections at the elbow and black cuffs. The white road jersey featured orange shoulders with black and white sections at the elbow, and black cuffs.<ref>{{cite web |date=September 14, 2007 |title=Slideshow |url=http://flyers.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=MediaGalleryPlayer&galleryId=2403 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217121031/http://flyers.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=MediaGalleryPlayer&galleryId=2403 |archive-date=December 17, 2007 |access-date=December 10, 2009 |publisher=National Hockey League}}</ref> The Flyers unveiled a new orange third jersey based on their [[1973β74 NHL season|1973β74]] jerseys during the [[2008β09 NHL season|2008β09 season]], featuring white player nameplates with black letters which were used occasionally during that season.<ref>{{cite web |title=Flyers' New Third Jersey |url=http://flyers.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=11953 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071010130812/http://flyers.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=11953 |archive-date=October 10, 2007 |access-date=December 10, 2009 |publisher=National Hockey League}}</ref> This uniform replaced the black jerseys as the primary home jersey during the [[2009 Stanley Cup playoffs]] and the subsequent [[2009β10 NHL season|2009β10 season]]. The team wore the 1973β74 white jersey β reverse of their current home uniform but with a black nameplate with white lettering β at the [[2010 NHL Winter Classic|2010 Winter Classic]] versus the [[Boston Bruins]] at [[Fenway Park]]. For the [[2010β11 NHL season|2010β11 season]], the Winter Classic jersey was adopted as the team's primary road jersey and the team's alternate black jersey was retired. In January 2012, for their second [[2012 NHL Winter Classic|Winter Classic]] appearance β this time against their [[FlyersβRangers rivalry|arch-rivals]] the [[New York Rangers]] at [[Citizens Bank Park]] β the Flyers wore a traditional sweater design in orange with cream and black trim, featuring a cream nameplate with black lettering, as well as black numbers. It also contained a neck tie string which no other Flyers jersey has had before it. This design was later adopted as a third jersey for the [[2014β15 NHL season|2014β15 season]]. For the 2016β17 season, the Flyers retired their Winter Classic third jerseys in favor of a commemorative 50th-anniversary jersey. The uniform is white with orange and black striping, along with gold numbers, black nameplate with white lettering bordered in gold, and the classic Flyers logo with gold borders. The franchise's founding season is inscribed on the neckline. The Flyers wore a black uniform for the [[2017 NHL Stadium Series|2017 Stadium Series]], featuring enlarged black numbers with white trim, orange striping on the sleeves and tail, and orange nameplate with black lettering. The said uniform will become the team's third uniform option starting in the [[2018β19 NHL season|2018β19 season]]. During the [[2019 NHL Stadium Series|2019 Stadium Series]], the Flyers wore orange and black uniforms minus the white elements. The black helmets also featured an enlarged Flyers logo on both sides. For the 2020β21 season, the Flyers released a special "Reverse Retro" alternate uniform. The design was a callback to the darker burnt orange jersey they wore from 1982 to 2001; however, the white and black colors on the sleeves and numbers were reversed. In the 2022β23 season, the Flyers' "Reverse Retro" uniform was based on their early 1980s uniforms, but with black and orange relegated to the logo and lower sleeves. The Flyers unveiled a new uniform design ahead of the 2023β24 season, reverting to the burnt orange shade they wore with the 1984β2007 uniforms. This design featured wider shoulder and sleeve stripes, single-colored sleeve numbers (black on the home uniform, white on the road uniform), and a black bottom stripe, all of which were visual nods to previous Flyers uniforms. The contrasting nameplate was also retained. The black alternate first used in the 2017 Stadium Series was also kept in circulation.<ref name="NewFlyersOrange" /> The Flyers' [[2024 NHL Stadium Series|2024 Stadium Series]] uniform featured a white base with the primary logo crest in front, thick black and orange sleeve stripes, orange numbers on the shoulders and back, and black nameplates which stretch from shoulder to shoulder.<ref>{{cite news|title=2024 NHL Stadium Series jerseys revealed for outdoor games |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/2024-nhl-stadium-series-jerseys-revealed-for-outdoor-games|website=NHL.com|access-date=January 26, 2024}}</ref>
