You know as much as we may be clamouring for the retros I suspect we're gonna end up with something completely unexpected and potentially ugly. If look at the Flames jersey history since '95 it's really trended towards cutting edge/contemporary designs.
The Pedestal. The Horse Head. '04-'07. The current home/aways. Really throw out the retros and you've got a team that's shied away from the traditional striping patterns in most cases.
I suspect we're gonna be seeing something fresh & new more along the lines of the Sharks, Senators, Penguins, Avalanche in terms of piping/cut. Plus there's gonna be a whack of folks looking to replace their Iginla jerseys, so why not give em something new?
Hopefully it won't be as bad as some of the recent Islanders/Sabres abortions have been... but it wouldn't shock me either.
