Why do you old people so desperately want to cling to what makes you feel young and like you were cool, even though you probably weren't?

What the hell is this? How old do you think I am dude?
Anyways.... putting aside the above poster's pre-pubescent rant, I just like the retro jerseys because they're clean, simple, classy and don't include any god awful black. When I see those jerseys I think of all the former Flames greats like Nieuwendyk, Lanny, Theo, MacInnis, and the 1989 Stanley Cup. That's what I sports uniform is supposed to do, it's supposed to tie in the present with the past. It seems like it would be an honour for a young player like Sven or Brodie to put on the same threads as previous Stanley Cup champions. The current jersey set is meaningless and looks absolutely brutal.
