With the playoffs coming up, thought it was time to address some of the common misconceptions regarding proper attire at flames games. Lots of new people to the city (and CP), I wouldn't want you to make a fool of yourself.

So your friend calls you up, and has secured 2 tickets to the flames first playoff game, you need to decide what to wear: -- keep this list, of common misconceptions, handy just in case.

*The flames tradition is a 'C' of red, not 'sea' of red. In order to maintain this tradition you must ensure that you wear red to all playoff games.

*Orange is not Red. Sure you don't own anything red, and Orange is "kinda" red, so it must be okay, right? No I'm sorry you are wrong, you should spend $5 on a cheap red t-shirt.

*I have spent over $100 on a flames White road Jersey and since this is "official" flames gear this is better than my crappy red sweater. --This is an area that took many people a while to understand last time, you should not wear a White flames jersey, and especially not a black flames jersey. These items are not red, you will look like a fool. You would be better off wearing a Red Wings Jersey than anything not Red.

*I've got a red shirt that I am wearing, but sometimes it get's cold in my seat, and I have to put on my jacket, surely everyone around me will understand? --Only if your Jacket is red should this be done, if you don't have a red item around you at all times in the seating bowl, please kindly sell your playoff tickets to a member here at CP.

*I think it's stupid to follow everyone else like sheep, and of course I'm way too cool to wear red. How am I supposed to pick up chicks in some dorky red shirt? --No girl will talk to you if you arn't wearing red, you are an obvious try hard "individual", and this is not the time or the place to try and stand out.

Wear RED
