Here's a pic of Carolina, who has the squared off shoulders, in action and from various viewing angles. The red goes down the back far enough to include the namebar. 
Minnesota, the other with the squared off shoulder, doesn't have this happen on the back, instead, a namebar looking like its for seniors its so large.
Wonder which the Flames pick, likely white names and numbers, using the black background for the name bar. |
I don't hate what Carolina did including the namebar with the shoulder yoke... it's kinda cool and I wouldn't mind if they did that.
But as both your pictures point out, neither Carolina or the Wild's shoulder yokes extend as far down the front as this EA render shows Calgary's. I really hope the real life version is much more similar to the Wild/Hurricane's where it stops much higher up on the jersey.
Edit: On second look, I hope they don't extend it down as far as Carolina's. Carolina's look fine (though the rest of the jersey is... Canadian), but the black on red will again just be a 'slab' I really hope it ends up being closer to the Wild's... and that EA neglected to include a bit of shoulder striping to break up the black 'slab'.
Edit Again: Just noticed in one of the pics you can see the back, and the yoke doesn't extend to the namebar. Phew!
