As a non-native english speaker, I probably can't fully express my frustration but I'll do my best. Well, there are so many flaws I don't even know where to start.

1. We are Calgary Flames. Not New Jersey Flames. Not Calgary Devils. We are CALGARY FLAMES. In other words, the look and feel of leaked jersey is embarrassingly similar to NJD home uniforms, especially when using the same black squared off yokes. Distinguishing ourselves from other teams should be
the first thing in mind when designing a new jersey. I don't like the amount of black on our current home uniforms either, but it's at least not located on the shoulder area.

2. If they really had to introduce the wordmark together with a down-sized logo on the front, why the heck using the same color and putting them so close to each other? It's a mess. IMHO the white flaming C would make it slightly better.

3. Yellow has been reduced to minimum so it's almost unnoticeable from distance.
This further emphasizes the NJD look.

4.Those pants do not match stripes on the jersey.

5. Last but not least... I still think that our primary logo looks best in white outlined in yellow (possibly in black as well). And we're getting rid of it ? Strange decision.

I'm very disappointed, hopefully these will not last very long.
