It is a Sea of Red. C of red is just some Flames marketing slogan dreamed up in the 90's sometime.
The Sea of Red was born during the 1986 Flames-Oilers series (hereafter, the greatest playoff series ever played). Play by play guy Don Whitman, observed that most Oilers fans were wearing white that year and remarked towards the end of game 2 that the Oilers would surely face a 'Sea of Red' when they came to Calgary for game 3.
And, in fact, they did.
Thus endeth the lesson.
