Seeing a new Third should get the entire fanbase excited and eager to buy one instantly, the last thing that a majority of the fan base should be doing is finding ways to tolerate a third jersey. So if that's the general feeling right now from most people, i hate to admit it but this is an epic fail of a third jersey.

Maybe.
Maybe because it's your favorite team you're likely more critical than is warranted. I can absolutely see why people wouldn't like it, it's nowhere close to perfect. They tried incorporating popular elements from other jerseys, and took a bit of a wager on a few unique touches. Some paid off (the shoulder patch) and some didn't (the front crest).
I can tell you for sure that the reaction from outside the people who LOVE the Flames is a lot more generous than the fanbase. I think it's decent jersey, and were I ever in the market for a Flames jersey, I'd buy that one over an away jersey, or the Heritage classic jersey.
I don't know, I'm still interested to see how it looks on a player. As I said before, jerseys in NHL 14 all look mostly cartoonish and bad, but there's no changing that crest unfortunately.
It's certainly not Buffalo or Islanders bad, so take a little comfort in that... I guess.
