Is This The Stadium Series Jersey The Flyers Will Release Tomorrow?
Flyers press release:
The Philadelphia Flyers 2017 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series™ jersey will be released tomorrow, December 10, at 8 a.m. The team will wear this new jersey when they take on the Pittsburgh Penguins in an outdoor contest at Heinz Field on Saturday, February 25.
The NHL Stadium Series™ jersey will be available for purchase at the FanZone Powered by Reebok store at the Wells Fargo Center beginning at 8 a.m. Parking will be free until 10 a.m.
This jersey is floating around the interwebs today and, according to Broad Street Hockey, first surfaced on Amazon. So it must be real, right? Maybe. The Stadium Series jersey is supposed to incorporate black, but it’s worth noting that the seller on Amazon is a company called Zap, which sells an assortment of supposedly authentic sports apparel and has good ratings, but uses a Gmail address:
The jersey shown here does match the modern aesthetic most Stadium Series jerseys go for. That said, I can’t imagine the jerseys will actually feature the garish font shown here on Gostisbehere jersey uncovered by (@RyDeve):
These might be real, or they might go the way of the hideous Tony The Tiger jerseys from the Winter Classic. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.
UPDATE: I’m beginning to think these are real.
