I actually think the black jerseys from '99 (that generally are rejected by most here) with instead of the horse, the retro style flaming C in front to provide contrast and perhaps an altered lining (no diagonal branching) would look fantastic.
San Jose's black home (3rd) jerseys for example are so badass. The Kings..not as great. But if the black style is done well, it looks really sleek and again, just badass.
But then you just can't talk fans out of their deep liking of the old style (which we still see just about every saturday game), which is fine. But I think that at some point you've got to try something different. As a soon to be designer, it's just something I'd like to see with the Flames. Perhaps something to go along with a (hopefully) new, re-built Flames team to emerge in a few years?
I'm just thinking that instead of having the red jerseys with the black C, try black jerseys with the red/yellow C. I know someone did a mockup with this kind of style in the other thread, but had grey in it as well (not sure about that). I would change a few things but that's the right idea.
