And as much as I wish the Flames went full home and away retros, I have a feeling it's not going to happen.
I was at the Fanattic and found out they don't have the $300 authentic Retros anymore, and they aren't ordering anymore in. That leads me to believe the retro jersey could be on the way out. Take that for what it's worth anyways.

LOL the Laffs. They've had multiple jersey designs ever since RBK took over. Old for the sake of old is NOT a good thing. The Flyers and Oilers jerseys are far from attractive and in the case of Edmonton another gimmick to try and sell their fans on "the way it'was".
The Flames retros were a nice call-back during an anniversary year. They were way over used (infact used more than the actual home jerseys) the next year. We've had our little trip down memory lane, now it's time to move forward. And black isn't an awful colour when used properly. Just because some of you don't like it doesn't make it so. Seems there's other's who've agreed with me not to mention the vast number of Flames jerseys containing black in them throughout the Dome some 4 seasons after the retro's were brought back. The orange-red needs to be hung up for another 20 years.
