The third grew on me as well, I actually don't mind it anymore, save for that stupid Wal-Mart word-mark on the front. The problem for me isn't the third itself, but more that from far back it looks similar to our normal home unis. What's the point in having an alternate third if it's only going to look slightly different than the regular reds?

As for the retro talk, for those saying the retros should stay in the 80s, I don't even care about the retros themselves returning as much as just wanting the red & yellow colour-scheme in general, without the black. I'd very much be open to a modern design, using those colours only (and keeping the classic flaming C of course).

If they do drop the black on the regular unis, I'm more than fine with a black C third. As much as shoe-horning black into our colour scheme bugs me, I recognize its been there long enough that an entire generation of Flames fans identify with the black C as "the Flames". That and the '04 run instilled nostalgia in the black C era as well, so a third in that style just makes sense.
