Why do we want Bulls/Falcons colours so bad? Embrace the "real" Flames colours, it looks better anyway.

Agreed 100%. I'm not handy with the design software, but I'll try to describe my vision, and invite someone else to try to bring it to life.
Envision "traditional" or "old school" striping.
Home: Base colour red, secondary colour yellow, small amount of black trim and no white whatsoever. Black flaming C and numbers with yellow outline. Name on back yellow only. Black helmets and solid black pants.
Away: Base colour white, secondary colours red and yellow with small amount of black trim. Red flaming C and numbers with yellow and black outlines. Name on back red only. White helmet and solid black pants.
Thirds: Base colour black, secondary colours or red and yellow, no white whatsoever. Red flaming C and numbers with yellow trim. Name on back in yellow only. Black helmet and solid black pants. Limit use of these to 4 times a year at most.
I would also petition the league to wear the throwbacks as a fourth set of "Heritage" jerseys, worn only at home on Saturday nights.
