Keith Jones is Sam Hinkie. Sam Hinkie is Keith Jones. This quiz proves the Flyers of 2023 are the Sixers of 2013.

Ever since their offseason began — and even before that, really — the Flyers have adopted a succession of changes and measures to make it clear that they are embarking on what their marketing department is calling “a new era of orange.”

They have a new chairman, Dan Hilferty, who in his background and words and tone has invoked comparisons to his longest-tenured and most influential predecessor. They have a new general manager, Danny Brière, who played for them and served an apprenticeship in their front office. They have a new president of hockey operations, Keith Jones, who played for the team, was a broadcaster for the team, and technically covered the team as a national hockey analyst. They have hired two of their former players, John LeClair and Patrick Sharp, as special advisers. They have new uniforms that look suspiciously like their old uniforms. And in an interview with WIP-FM (94.1) on Monday morning, Jones seemed to be speaking the same language of a beloved but controversial former sports executive in this city.

You know, Sam Hinkie.

Of course, there was a time when the mere mention of Hinkie and his plan to have the 76ers tank to accumulate talent and assets would set Flyers fans — and the most powerful members of the organization itself — into apoplexy. The contrast was one that everyone in orange-and-black was happy to point out: Hinkie and the Sixers were losing losers who were trying to lose, and the Flyers were above that, too honorable to give in to the incentive structure of a draft that generally rewards the worst teams with the best and most promising players.

“They want you to lose games so you can get a lottery pick,” Ed Snider told the Daily News in 2011. “They want you to lose! I’ve never understood that. I was never willing to gut the team and just build up cap space. … We tried to use our draft choices well and build a team. We tried to build with our first-round picks. Maybe we were wrong, but we always felt that now mattered, too.”

Well, as Dylan sang, you’d better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone. And since the Flyers have been sinking for more than a decade, Hilferty, Brière, and Jones have let it be known that the times, they are a-changin’. So much so that, if you didn’t know Jones was the one answering questions Monday morning, you’d have thought it was Hinkie.

Don’t believe me? Take the test below. I’ve listed 10 quotes — some from Jones during his WIP interview, some from Hinkie during his tenure with the Sixers. Can you guess who said what? I suspect you’ll be surprised how similar the messages are, even if you shouldn’t be.

1. “Our phone lines have been lighting up with different opportunities, some of them ridiculous, some of them intriguing, and we’ve got some really popular players, which in some ways is a great thing for us.”

2. “I like working with people who are hardworking and diligent and want to get better at their craft every day. That would be important. I think player development is critical, that coaches be willing to invest in that.”

3. “It’s not illogical to think some guys on our team are in play. We’re in a position with our team where we need to look to the future, and some of those guys are in positions in their careers where they’re more advanced than we’re going to be when we get there. Logically, some of the names would fit.”

4. “You really have to face yourself in the mirror every day and look at the reality of what’s here and the reality of what can be. This is a hard league. Everyone’s trying to get the same thing. There are no silver bullets where you do one thing and it makes it really easy overnight.”

5. “The draft choices, the higher picks, would definitely be a priority for us. There’s no question that we’re trying to build our draft capital and have all kinds of options as things move forward.”

6. “I believe a lot in optionality. … We are focused on, ‘How do you put the building blocks in place to have a chance to compete?’”

7, “We talk a lot about process, not outcome — about trying to consistently take all the information you can and make consistently good decisions. And sometimes they work. And sometimes they don’t. And you should reevaluate them all.”

8. “Just because you have first-round picks doesn’t mean you necessarily use them as far as drafting them and developing them. It just gives you more options further down the road. Whether it’s a long way down the road or a little bit shorter distance remains to be seen, but having those options really can put you in a position to advance your team at an adequate speed.”

9. “We try to keep our end goal in mind, which is to build a championship-caliber team in Philly. That won’t come overnight. That’s not a surprise. It’s not Dr. Doom to say that won’t come overnight. But we need to keep focused on that, and I’ll keep the pedal to the metal.”

10. “We have an idea of where we’re going to be a much more competitive team. It’s not that far away. It’s not going to be unchallenging. But we’re not going to be sitting around, waiting for this thing to take forever. I can tell you that.”
