These are the jerseys the Flyers will wear for their outdoor matchup against the Penguins at Heinz Field on Saturday, Feb. 25.

The Flyers have released the jerseys they'll be wearing for their outdoor game against the Penguins in Pittsburgh this season.

The team officially unveiled the sweaters Saturday. The jerseys will be worn for the 2017 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series matchup at Heinz Field on Saturday, Feb. 25, and one more time at home against the Penguins on Wednesday, March 25. Here's the team's description of the jerseys:

The new jersey stands as a contemporary homage to the unique characteristics of 50 years of the Flyers uniform – a bold design for a passionate city. The primary color of the uniform is black, fiercely showcasing the traditional winged-P on the chest. The single dominant orange bands are a reinterpretation of the singular bands of color on the team’s current home and away uniforms. In addition, these bands of color are complemented by a contrast color name-plate, which is a signature design feature of the Flyers’ NHL uniform.

The full uniform carries the theme of orange accents over solid black – black socks showcase a single orange stripe across black, gloves include orange highlights, and the black helmet includes numbers mirroring those on the jersey.

A video unveiling of the jerseys can be viewed here.

The release confirms rumors that the special jerseys would be mainly black with orange accents. Broad Street Hockey noticed Friday that jerseys for sale on Amazon could be the ones used for the Stadium Series Game, and it appears that was right, as the leaked sweater design looks almost identical to the one released by the team Saturday.
