"Let's go Flyers!"

Apparently the season-ticketholders have received a brochure that includes the new sweater design, and one posted it online. The darks look sufficiently Islanderish. The lights…

…there’s a lot of orange.

Since one of the big reasons for the redesign was to let players wear the same helmets and pants and gloves with both teams, expect them to mirror the Islanders’. The plan is they’ll do the full jersey reveal when they announce the coach, which’ll be at least another week.

Meantime, free agency is on; caveat emptor. There are two things on that list that surprised me a bit (only one of which really matters now), and I’ve got a call in.
