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.

Have you forgotten about the horsehead abomination?
Keep the Flaming C as the primary logo on this and it would not have been quite so bad. The best Flames jersey has the big Flaming C. Not a fire-snot breathing horse head, not a small Flaming C tucked under the word Calgary, but a Flaming C. I'll proudly wear the Flaming C on my chest, and I won't buy any other Flames jersey that doesn't have the big Flaming C as the logo.
