Retro-White, retro-red full time and if they absolutely must then have the current red jersey as the third. Then leave the jersey design the fata alone forever.

Flames actually haven't been that bad. We seem to use jerseys for a 6 or 7 season period before we switch them up.
We have had one set since the forced Edge change, and only the retros in that time period as a third. So the same set of jerseys from 2007-2013.
Before that we had a set that was used from 2000-2006. The pedestal jerseys were used from 95-2000, and the classic retros from 81-94.
I actually think this is a precursor to a re-stylized version of the retros becoming our new home and away jerseys next season, with black only being used on the thirds.
On a different note I actually kind of liked the 5 when I first saw it yesterday.
