Also, because of when I was growing up (I was 6 when the flames made the playoffs for the last time in '96) I had very little interest in the Flames or hockey, but for some reason I really, REALLY wanted an NHL jersey. I remember me and my dad drove to some jersey store and he let me pick out a jersey and for some reason I picked an Oilers Fuhr jersey. No idea why. My next jersey after that was a random jersey that my mom found on sale somewhere. I think it's an old Kamloops Blazers jersey but I actually didn't figure out which team the jersey was until literally right this moment when I started to think about it.

Whats the jersey with K surrounded by fire?



It wasn't until '03 that I started watching the Flames for real and the only reason I did was... Yup. The new Jerseys. Well that and the fact that they started playing the games on tv more and more. I picked quite the year to start though!
That's the UHL's Fort Wayne Komets.
