Flames Return of the Flames car flags???

I am getting some mad requests from out of town friends to ship them some Flames car flags for game #1.

I have tried calling Fan Attic a few times but no luck as it goes straight to voicemail.

Has anyone seen any at the stores around town? If so where and how much?

I have a few myself but looking to keep the magic in a few cities across Canada.

Thx

I know Canadian Tire carries (or atleast used to carry) them. Don't remember how much though.

Apparently Canadian Tire has them.

I'm bummed because mine from 2004 don't work with my car now, they're too short so it's insanely loud driving with them as the flags smack my car.

I bought mine at Rona three weeks ago, but they weren't very cheap, $15.99 I think.

$13 at Canadian Tire - picked up a couple yesterday from a LARGE supply - couldn't find my '04 flags as they are "somewhere" in a box in my storage unit.

But a pair of red flags looks pretty good on my red Ford F250!

I'm sure the people in BC when I return back there won't be too thrilled though.

i'm tempted to get cases of them and start going from parking lot to parking lot, removing the canucks flag and replacing it with the flames flag!

Got mine up already. The only car on the road in my neck of the woods sporting Flame flags.

Canucks flags have negative value so theft under a thousand would not apply!

Bought a couple two weeks ago presuming we'd make the playoffs! I'll be repping these in Edmonton during the playoffs!

I know, what the hell? The original car flags dont work anymore.

I might have to get a new one.

Fondest memories from that year include all the bootlegging of car flags. Lots of (questionable) money was made that year.

Just put mine up today. That 2004 run was so cool. Every 3nd car had a flag up it was incredible.

I have kept the smaller antenna flags on both of my vehicles year round since 2004. During the playoffs my wife and I don't drive in the same vehicle, I want to spread the exposure of flags to cars ratio here in Lethbridge.

This year I brought out the regular car flags. It feels more exciting so I want the extra flags.
