As much as I like the classic Flames uniforms of the 80's, when I was watching the game the other night against the Oilers I just couldn't help thinking that they either looked like pajamas or like lumberjack longjohns with stripes. I do like them, but I just think that although they are classic, they aren't worth so much as to compare them to other uniformly heralded classic jerseys like Montreal, Chicago, etc. I think we need a 'new' classic. I know this does bring up risks however, like with Phoenix when they went the polar opposite direction from their terrible jerseys to the super-boring ones they have now, when I think they were going for that 'new classic' look - but in my opinion missed the mark. That's why my vote is for the redesign above that uses the '04 pattern with updated striping - or something like it - reminiscent and classic looking but new. On any Red Helmet/Red Jersey/Red Pants/Red Socks combo - somehow we need to break up all the red. Some will disagree - just a thought.
