Adidas is taking over for Reebok as the NHL’s jersey provider beginning next season, and for at least a year, that change will mean that teams will only have two uniforms. Adidas will not create third jerseys for the Flyers or any other NHL team in 2017-18.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported the news this morning, saying that there will be no third jerseys “in order to make the initial implementation of the new sweaters easier.” That means we’ll just have the Flyers home orange and road white jerseys next season, and that the new black jersey that the team will wear next month in the Pittsburgh outdoor game will likely be retired after the season.
