So, in other words, you didn't answer the question properly?

You can't interpret this as 42% of people would be happy with a jersey other than the retro. If the next most popular jersey was selected, only 11% of people would be getting their first choice. If you remove all the other options as a primary choice and just kept the top 2; ~85% of votes went to the retro which is huge. You can say that CP is a small sample size, but to say any other one jersey would satisfy close to as many fans as the retros would based on this poll is completely false.

What a strange way of interpreting what my interpretation actually was. Perhaps you should go back and read what I wrote again. You are saying that I said things that I didn't say.

Id like them to go retro but if not something new and no matter what it must have red helmets to match the red jersey. That's part or what makes the retros so good is the brightness of the red jersey and the shiny red helmets to match

There's a 4.7 percent chance of the helmets being red.

I'm on the "ok with black" wagon. I like the black C, and think the current jersey would be pretty good with less random piping and with the alternate patch instead of the flags.

Horsehead was a decent jersey that gets too much hate, much like the pedestal (likely because both jerseys were from an era where the team struggled mightily). Both of those are much better than having a black/burnt C and shoulder flags.

Apart from contrast issues which I mentioned a lot of times in 'KK please read' thread, there's a fundamental problem with the black flaming C. Black is the color of something that's burnt therefore every flaming logo in black simply loses its impact.

As for the contrast, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words so this is what, in my opinion Flames are doing to their logo:




Back to normal:



You'll never achieve the same contrast and impact with a black logo on red, even if its shape is perfect.

The interesting thing here is Lego comparison as in black it suffers from the same blending issue as the black flaming C. Clearly, the effect of double outline is lost as white and yellow blend together in small scale (or seen from a distance).

That's not a nice looking jersey. What's different from what they have now?

The thick-ass white collar is the most-obvious difference.

Last season's orange jersey had a thicker blue line and no separation between the white and blue lines. They also had the numbers on the shoulders last year.

NSFW!

This doesn't have a white collar on it



Hopefully putting an end to this Oilers talk...

It could be white only on the front half...

[Toonage]

There is way too much blue down the back of the jersey in the "leaked" photo in comparison to the teaser from Adidas. The Adidas teaser looks like, maybe a few inches from the top of the collar to just under the Adidas logo.

gross if so

[Sainters7]

I don't get why they'd go back to navy, the regular blue looks a lot better. That jersey was already ugly, now it's even worse

The white collar is awful and I don't love the white piping around the shoulders, but I think the rest of it would look ok (other than having a strike against it for being an Oilers jersey) if the person wearing it had shoulders.

Can we get those gross Oilers rags out of this thread?

Agreed.

With that in mind (and for those of us on Tapatalk), here's one of my favourite photos of all time, which I hope will act as a replacement image until we get some actual Flames unis updates.
