Now that we have Jonesy and Briere figured out, can we talk about the marketing dept.
May 11, 2023
Fly or die. Fueled by philly. Anytime anywhere. Bring it to broad. New era of orange. None of these really spark any feeling of excitement.

I’ve got it:
“FLYERS HOCKEY: Check Back in Five Years”
But in like, a really badass font.
Three years away from three years away
Fly or die was great but they had to shutter it early after Oskar’s diagnosis. It was something I loved to drunkenly shout out the window on my way out of the broad street lot but it kinda lost its fury
I saw this earlier and it feels like there’s someone in marketing who’s juuuuust a little shy of having grown up with the internet, and that they’re almost there with the slogans, but it’s always a miss.
I thought this was ridiculous.
“A new era of orange.” Like, moldy?
They’re a little corny, but the only one that would really bother me as an ongoing slogan is “new era of orange.” It’s weird and it makes me think of Syracuse. Also it makes me think Gritty got a new hairdo.
Best was “back with a vengeance” after the scf we lost. We know how that ended but it was fun to dream
To be fair, nothing the Flyers have done over the years sparked any feeling of excitement. It ain’t limited to marketing (although they are terrible)
They are pretty bad in general. I had a conversation with someone once at an event about how they are trying to be more family friendly yet hard push the old era fighting with the ring bell before a fight and fighting montages.
He said their campaign is to appeal to both parties. They want to be family-friendly, attracting kids, families, and younger fans while still putting up fighting montages for the older fans.
They can’t just move on like the rest of the league.
Great card.
Hard to market a turd to be honest. If the product was any good those wouldn’t be as bad
Hard for the marketing to be successful when the product on the ice is ass. I bet we would have no issue with some of these slogans if the team was actually good.
“orange you glad y’all been had”
The new slogan is a bit of a tongue twister. I tried to say “A New Era Of Orange” out loud but it came out as “Anoorahahrrrinj”. Let’s see how much better it comes out tonight after six beers and a Sixers win tonight.
“Anytime anywhere” was good. Especially for being the Canada year
Wasn’t “now or never” used during the 2020 playoff run?
It felt strange at the time but daaaamn was it prophetic
Nearly 50 years of misery…
Bring it to Broad would have been perfect if they were actually expected to go to the playoffs and make a cup run (i.e. Bring the Cup to Broad St). They really wasted it.
This is perfect
Goal song last few years has been a train wreck
I just don’t want to be marketed to until we start being competitive. No matter how much they spend on marketing, I’m not going to watch a bad team.
I think it’s time to push the envelope and go straight for “Fuck around and find out”. We won’t play hockey anymore(Not that we do now anyways) we’ll just spend 60 minutes fighting the other team until the benches run dry.
