The more I think of it, the more I feel that the black C needs to be retired and the white C need to become the secondary one once again, along with removing the black outline on any of the logos. Red and Gold, and by default, white are Flames colours, and that should be the case once again.
On the thirds, my gripe with it is the black shoulders. In general, the black colour may clash on it too much, which is why it may not be welled received by the vocal group. In any concept made, the black colour clashes too much for my liking. The black has only looked good on the 04 jerseys, and that might because of the black pants since it jelled the whole uniform together.
The retro alternative reaffirmed that the Flames look their best when they're using their three original colours. I really hope that Flames executives follow the trend of what other sports teams across the continent have been doing, and either going back to their true colours, or removing black from their colour palette. I don't care if they're in their retros or they make a new design, but the black trend has faded away, and it's time Flames go back to their roots of red, gold, and white being the colours on their uniforms once again.
