Getting in some early work before the start of rookie camp, training camp, and the start of the NHL preseason, the Philadelphia Flyers have debuted their new Fanatics practice jerseys.
The official X (Twitter) account of the Philadelphia Flyers posted two emojis – a hockey stick and a “soon” emoji – with three photos of some Flyers skating at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees, NJ.
Veterans Scott Laughton and Erik Johnson led a group of players, including Cam York, Joel Farabee, Morgan Frost, and Tyson Foerster, in an informal skate session on Tuesday.

Because York’s body is facing the camera in the photo attached above, we can get a closer look at what the new threads are looking like. All in all, it’s a pretty standard jersey.
The Flyers logo in the center is flanked by a white outline circle with what appears to be “Property of Philadelphia” in black lettering. The IBX patch, which many fans apparently have a strong dislike for, sits on York’s right shoulder, while the new Fanatics logo is smaller and more innocuous on the left shoulder.
At the top of the shoulders, there’s a random black oval that interrupts the solid grey coloring, which I personally find strange. Just make the jersey fully grey or fully black, you know?
Truthfully, though, the difference in color will be far less visible to fans watching from afar or to us reporters up in the Training Center’s press box.
As always, let us know what you think in the comments section below this post.
