I didn't like them when they were leaked or launched, but they don't actually look too bad on the TV. The numbering & lettering looks cool IMO. My main issue is the "Calgary" patch. I don't see any point re-branding the Flames logo. The Flaming C is iconic in my eyes & should be on every jersey.
And fans of the retro jersey -- look on the bright side: at least they'll be worth a load of money on eBay in a couple of years! The retro jersey is my favourite all-time, followed by the red 2004 jersey with the snot-horse shoulder patches. Monahan 23 in retro red would be the next jersey I bought, if they would actually make it.
