Ok, I'm convinced not to wear my white jersey, but I just bought a neon yellow windbreaker (basically a flames colour). Something like that will surely stand out in the crowd, especially in my lower bowl seats. That's ok, right guys?

But seriously, if one guy wants to wear his white jersey to the game, it's not a big deal.
The C of Red always has a tiny bit of white in it, just like a real fire.
Why is it so hard to just wear a red t-shirt?

It must feel really bad to go to a playoff game, look around and realize that you are the ONLY ONE in your section not wearing red.

It's literally that stark.

Heck, in 2004 there was a Canuck fan who sat in front of us that still wore a red bullroping shirt for round one. Even though his colour choice was probably motivated by cowardice he still made the right choice. RED.

Stupid white C's on the current retro homes making the C of Red less solid looking.

They're better jerseys than the black C 2004's in isolation, but dang I miss those homes since they made the C of Red look insane.

Gotta love a multiple choice question and come out 100% correct no matter which one you choose or if you choose them all!

However, I do have an old jersey from the early 90's where the home jersey is white with a red flaming C.

Even though both are acceptable for a home playoff game, the white Flaming C on red background > the black Flaming C on red background/enddebate

The current (retro) home reds are the best jerseys the Flames have ever had, but the black C jerseys made the C of Red look way more intimidating. Too much white in the crowd really detracts from the effect.

Nope. Are you sure it was neon?

Gotta be one of the best nights of my life. My god that was something else. I think my ear drums legit popped when Gelinas scored in OT. The best.

I like to appeal to tradition, the pun works and it predates whatever kid is questioning it.

Long story short there is no debate and no opinions to be had. You can either wear red, or you can be wrong and accept the fact that you are a horrible human being. Wear red. No other outcome is acceptable

If you want to put it that way... then, yes.

If you wanted to word it differently but still come to the conclusion that wearing red is the only acceptable outcome, then also yes.
