It kind of looks off, but when they used a smaller Flaming C previously, it really didn't work either (see below). I like keeping the Atlanta logo, but it sort of feels like a no win situation.

The NHL told the Flames to change the captain's C when they tried it. Some stupidity about not duplicating the logo on the front. But in short, they can't do it. At least not in a style that resembles our usual logo.
Anyway, I liked the concept from the leak, and I like them more now that I've seen and bought one. I would still have preferred the Flaming-C on one shoulder rather than on the front, but it isn't as dominating/out of place as the EA leak made it seem. Really like the style of striping. I wouldn't be surprised if they repeat what they did in 2003 and use this striping with the primary logo when they replace the main jerseys in a few years.
Two things I really don't like though. The stripes around the arms don't go all the way around. That little "pocket" for the elbow pads causes a break and ruins the effect. Still looks better than the striping on those half-baked Oilers jerseys from a few years ago.
And yes, the number font. Terrible. I was going to get a Giordano jersey until I saw the font. Hopefully they correct that for next year.
