Though today is important to our Christian audience (Happy Easter to you), today for us is a return to Philadelphia. Many in this neck of the woods remember the fight that followed an earlier quarrel in Buffalo between the NHL's Sabres and Philadelphia Flyers which prompted the title to be blurted out by Sabres longtime play-by-play man Rick Jeanneret when these two brawled again the next time these clubs met. On Friday we saw the reinvention of the Wings. Here, we're continuing to show that. The franchise that once called the Spectrum and Wells Fargo Center its home has to slightly evolve but stay traditional in turn, so we took a crack at it.
We took some inspiration from the Buffalo Bandits here. While I personally cannot stand the "arm shields" that house the TV numbers, I think that could work here by using the outline of the logo. I also drew from the Bandits an idea to include the logo sublimated in the side panels. Since said panels being gradient-filled seems to be all the rage around the league, I stuck with it. I brought back the number striping that was used for the hem that Philly had used mid last decade. However, the alternate is rather traditional, with just the added "arm shields." All things considered, a "basic-modern" type of uniform became the end result.
