Final release: "WHY THE HELL IS THERE AN UBER LOGO ON THE JERSEY?!"

I voted other as there wasn't a 'Don't Care' option. I am actually astounded that so many people lose their #### over something so inconsequential as a patch or the colour of the C.

It's the one thing about the Oilers that I'm jealous of. (Could care less about McDiver) They gave their fans some retro jersey love with a twist, clean and flag free. I mean, they should after so many years of suckitude.
The Flames' mngmt need to get their heads out of their butts.

I'd bet the flags encourage tourists to buy the jersey's as souvenirs during stampede and owner's don't want to see that summer sales bump go away.

Just goes to show that our perception of a general sentiment isn't always the case. I see a lot of support for the flags (and disinterest for the retros) in those comments. Maybe not be the overwhelming majority, but you have to take in to account the fact that people who like the jerseys as they are, aren't going to be inclined to comment as much.

I literally only see one comment that isn't negative, so I'm not sure where you're getting the 2/3 thing from.

I read 29 comments and only 2 people liked the flags/current jerseys. Which is 7%, basically the same percentage of people on our poll who liked the current design.
You seem to be playing your usual contrarian role

Can a person still order a retro and get a name bar and number? Love the retros and I'd hate to miss out on owning one.

I like the idea of the flags but they don't look good in practice.

Heck yes! Best part, $70. I ordered an Iginla a few weeks ago and they had 50% off lettering as well! http://www.flamesport.com/store/cate...eys/Men%2527s/
Reaaaally happy today I bought (a second) retro.

 What are you reading? I see 3 comments that are actually positive about the flags, out of 90+ comments. It is a very small portion of commenters who like what they see.

In the first 14 comments there are 3 people who outright like the flags, and 3 who you could argue are (at worst) indifferent.
You could just learn to count/read instead of calling me a contrarian. I thought was funny reading the comments and see comments side beside to the tune of "Everyone hates the flags / I like the flags."
As I said, just gives you a different perspective. Sometimes we just in an echo chamber and forget there are people who like the flags and who don't like the retros, and if sales are good it's probably a high number.

couldn't agree more.
Its astounding how much some care about something so completely immaterial and then lose their minds when it isnt what they wanted.
This coming from a guy that loves and rocks the retros only.
As long as its clearly a Flames jersy...who cares?

That might not be the purpose of a team's sweater though. I assume you're just joking as the only ones who seem bothered by the design are Flames fans.

Obviously it will go on top of the pedestal.
