Given the flood, and all the pulling together of the community the past few months, I can certainly see a tie in with civic pride. It's probably the release of this being the mothballed jersey KK pulled a few years back, now more of a reason to be having "Calgary" on the front.
After all, the owners put the flags on the jersey to show the provincial and national pride when representing out of province and country; if that feels manufactured and contrived, putting "Calgary" on the front, for civic pride, seems much less so given the events since late June.

Ugh, I really hope they don't try to go the way of releasing an ugly jersey and then playing up some civic pride angle to make it okay. An ugly jersey does not have anything to do with civic pride, heck neither does a good looking jersey.
Just design something that looks nice and doesn't stray too far from the core elements. Leave the pandering garbage out of it.
