No question the retros ARE the Calgary Flames. How great was it to see the Stanley Cup winners come out in the proper Flames jerseys, and then see the kids go out wearing the same threads. The Flames just look like a way better team in those jerseys. The organization needs to do the right thing here and make the Flames look like the Flames again. The pride in the organization will start to be restored with that simple change, from the players to the fans.
Also, the Flames would've won the cup in 2004 if they had the retro jerseys on!
