I'm afraid they are going to phase out the primary jerseys with these.

The Fan-Attic stores are Flames org owned, so of course their going to push them. They'll push them if they aren't selling to try and get numbers up, and they'll push them if they are selling, to make more money.
But I wouldn't be worried about them ever phasing out the Flaming C or the general jersey design as it's been since the Flames moved to Calgary. As disastrous as our third jerseys have been (retros notwithstanding) the organization has done a pretty good job with with the logo and brand overall.
Look at the messes in Vancouver and New York Isle, teams with more history than the Flames but still not a recognizable brand/logo. Or at least as recognizable as they should be. The Flames have never messed around like that.
The Flaming C has been mentioned as one of the best non original six logos a few other places league-wise. It's a great logo that has never been changed, and I think the owners/management and anyone who would ever occupy those spots see that.
