Speaking as a professional designer I can confirm that design by committee & crowd sourcing both typically lead the best designs. I recommend both to any and all clients.
Here's the thing we all need to remember, as fans we're but one stalk holder in the process. There's owners, players, the NHL, and Reebok all involved as well.
And you wanna know the best part about being the "fan" bucket there? We don't have to attend the meetings, or discuss the boring things like manufacturing, distribution, copyright or god forbid... a budget.
It's a 3rd jersey, it's the time to experiment with new things, sure we may all hate the combination of everything we see here... but maybe in a few years time the horrible Alberta patches get replaced with something we see here. Or maybe the Flames accept that black isn't working and finally go back to the retros full time. Who knows... maybe it's like the peace bridge and many people end up liking it after a few years.
