Exactly. Sure, a lot of the designs are horrible - that's actually part of the fun - but there are some designs that truly are really, really good. These designs deserve something more than just a post on a message board. My underlying goal is really just to get some of them at least considered by the club.

Also, I would argue that if the the fans had been consulted at all, the heritage jerseys would not have looked the way they did. The Habs wore their '89 jerseys, why the heck didn't we? If they had gone back to their old Maroons jerseys, then sure, work the Cowboys into the whole thing. They didn't though, and the Calgary/Montreal rivalry of the mid-late 80's was awesome. They showed up with that in mind, and I have no idea why we didn't. Had the fans been involved in that, I suspect we would have seen our '89 jerseys that day.
