The people that want to dwell in jersey past can whine all they want but it won't matter because the team recognizes that you can't stay glued to the past. The retros will never be the full time jerseys again, I guarantee it.
The original uniforms never had black in them. They added black in the young guns era, making an abomination of one of the best logos and uniforms in all of sports. I loved the fact that Calgary didn't have black in their uniforms. Black was being added to every uniform at the time and it was cliche. I love the fact that the original six teams haven't screwed with their uniforms much. When they do, the quickly realize their mistake and go back to tradition. Tradition in Calgary is the first jersey which is also the Stanley Cup jersey.

Restore tradition! Ditch the black and go back to the 1988-89 uniform forever!
