Just personal opinion anyway, hopefully they go back to the classic colors some day (doesn't look like it will be soon based on that new abortion of a 3rd jersey).
But even then we flipped between white and red Cs.

To be fair, those were the team colours for just under 14 years, and black has been a part of the Flames uniforms for over 19 years.
Nostalgia wise, the red/white/yellow is great, but the black has been a part of the jerseys for the larger part of the entire Flames history. I know you said it was your personal opinion and all, but sometimes I think people forget just how long black has been a part of our colour scheme. When you think of the Devils, do you think they should go back to Red and Green because those were "their colours"? They've only been using black on their jerseys for 2 years longer than we have, mind you.
I guess my point is that I get that people like the old colour scheme, but black is a lasting part of the Flames history. Taking the black from the Flames is like taking the black from the Devils. At this point, it's a bad call.
