The Story in 60 Seconds

Ryan Gilbert of Broad Street Hockey argues that the Philadelphia Flyers' new "Independence Edition" Hometown Remix jersey is a mediocre disappointment that matches the team's poor start to the season. The NHL officially released the Hometown Remix collection for all 32 teams on Monday morning, with the Flyers scheduled to debut their design on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Wild.

The critique follows a difficult October for the Flyers, who endured nine consecutive losses to begin the season before defeating the Mammoth 6-3 on Sunday.
