The official press release says existing pants and gloves will be used, but there will be a new sock for this uni, plus the script on the front will also be a sticker on the side of the black helmet when they wear these.
Be interested to see them with shoulder pads as a complete uniform.
Like them in general, playing up the civic angle is a selling point, especially for us lifetime or longtime Calgary residents.
Though they have to fix the upside down 2 used as a 5, but a refresh on the font is a welcome step ahead.
For a third Jersey, perfectly fine, maybe a bit too much black, and again, the move away from a retro means that the primary set will look more like the retro when it's done in the next few years.
However, if the replicas are as cheap as was posted here, maybe an authentic would be better, but they don't look to be available or not subject to 25% off.
Finally, interesting to see some of the games they want to showcase them, such as Iginla's return.
