No those are "retro". Guess I should post the ugly Flyers jersey with number crossing uneven through stripes and a white name-bar, or the 2 (count them 2!) Penguins baby-blue ug-fests. The point stands that going retro IS a tacky gimmick being used to lure fans into spending more money on what is old is new again and to fool them into remembering good times of old while currently things are putrid. Or else then these are a beautiful example of honoring the past combined with the modern, from pre-NHL days.
(and yes, I LOVE these jerseys as a one-time event)
And even further to the point, $ven made an absolute statement based soley on opinion. If you are going to use that as your argument you just make yourself look the fool.
Very happy the Flames are a forward thinking and moving organization. Leave the tacky to the Oilers. They do it very well.
