Interesting that this thread was posted now, it has been on blog sites for a couple months that the flames have a new 3rd coming.

I think it's great that so many people love the retro designs. My problem with brining them back is that we would be tarnishing their legacy with the team we currently have. The argument that people have comparing Montreal, Chicago and Toronto jerseys with the Flames is a sad argument. We are not an original 6 team, we got our retros from a design in 1972. Yes, we won the cup with them in '89 but I believe we should bring those back when we have a team that is more deserving.

I also believe that our current set of home and away jerseys are amongst the best in the league. The only people I have ever heard complain about them are here on CP.

I have been participating on CP with 3rd jersey concepts (mine are the graphite version of our currents) and there has been mixed results but, I am excited to see what the Flames come up with. I really hope whomever is designing them hasn't read a single post on CP because there is nothing worse than a design by committee. I also think no matter what the design, the Flames should have a different 3rd jersey every year. The more Flames jerseys out there the better.
