Who all went yesterday then?
Whats everyones thoughts on the new jerseys? I quite like the Challenge cup one looks ace with the laces at the top like an old school Flyers Jersey, quite similar to the ones worn for the Legends game
Any thoughts on our new players those who met them yesterday?

I had a great time at the jersey launch last night, it was a chance not only to see the players and the new jersey but to catch up with some of my mates that I only see at the hockey nowadays. I think all three tops designs are really good but I've never been a fan of covering them in tons of sponsors logos, but it's understandable considering the cash required to run a club at this level so they'll need to maximise every revenue stream. I'm torn between the away(probably due to the fifab logo being less obvious on the white top) and the CC top as that one looks smart with the old F logo and the laces. Oh and I have to say hutchy loves the banter, laughed when some jokingly booed him and waved hankies when he was introduced, banter with the photographer during the introduction and the fans after it. Last night finally has me excited for this weekend so it pretty much ticked all the boxes.

The CC top will be a good seller. It's difficult to keep reinventing the wheel with regular home and away jerseys. Too similar to last season is one cry, then when it does change a little like last season, people miss the traditional Flyers wings, you can't win. Let's hope we have a play-off jersey to look forward to aswell.

I will defo be getting the CC Jersey, agree the home & aways look a bit busy with all the sponsors, same as last year with the big white box logo right on the front which spoils it for me, gotta say im more looking forward to the season now than I was a few weeks ago, maybe just being back in the Auld Barn!
Can't remember seeing Brooks, Jackman, Follmer or Moyer

I thought the jerseys were average, presentation pretty poor, dj back unfortunately. Spoke to the man with no skates Matt Sisca who is really a nice young man to talk to, rest easy though he is meant to pick up his kit this morning but if any problems would still be playing. I asked him how he felt having no enforcer to back him up compared to the 4/5 guys he had at Manchester to which he replied ....I'M THE ENFORCER ...lol, actually it would be nice to have a Nickerson / Fitzgerald in the squad but I have faith in the guys around me and was more worried about trying to beat Foxy at golf. I would have thought there was 1000 people at the launch last night and pretty loud at times with the intro music for each player. My guy to watch will be Chase Schaber, he has the swagger of a Fulton / Spadafora type player.

Wasn't there as was stuck at work but thought all the tops looked good in the photos. Not a fan of all the sponsors on the tops especially the white one makes it look far to busy but as others have said its just something the club have to do.
Love the Gold one first thought of the F was a bit like oh that's odd, but the more I see it the more it looks really good. Might even consider buying that one!!

I thought overall it was a decent wee do, I really like the CC top not so fussed for the other two, same reasons as already mentioned, too plain and caked in sponsors but needs must.
Finally feeling excited to see some hockey again

wasn't there, 75mile round trip on a thursday evening not worth it for me no problem with the sponsors on the tops for me, only thing I'd do different is have home and away differing, one the fife badge and one with flyers written, like some NHL teams do (Rangers, Wild etc) but really pleased we have 3 different colours this year

One things for sure the CC top is way better than the black one from last season. Not saying it was a bad hockey top but Flyers playing in Black just looked wrong.
