Some people hated the EA leak and like the jersey, others were hesitant about the EA leak and hate the jersey.
Personally, I like hearing what people find great or appalling about this jersey. It's kind of interesting that something so basic can result in so many mixed reactions.

I keep hearing this being thrown around by the 25% or so that love this jersey and while on the surface it seems like the Flames did everything right, the execution is wrong.
Sure we got classic lines, but we got a word mark + logo on the front. It's obviously a design by committee where one group wanted a word mark and the other didn't want to get rid of the Flaming C.
The shoulder yoke is also cheezy as hell. I'm usually not against western stuff, but this is just lame.
The secondary looks OK and I think most agree it's either awesome or OK. Nobody really hates it.
All this also doesn't even address the fact that you can't make an outfit look OK with 4 or more colours. That's the reason why the black haters hate black. It makes the jersey unnecessarily busy.
