Yeah, me and 70% of the posters on this board want them, crumb bum. My post from three months ago was referencing a poll on this board where the retros were the overwhelming favourite.
I'm used to black being an official colour, it's been that way due to an unfortunate, near sighted marketing ploy in the mid 90s to appeal to people who thought black was Pretty Hardcore. The Flames joined the myriad of teams with similar colours, weakening the brand and the general aesthetics of the kit. Unfortunately, black has been a part of the jerseys for longer than it hasn't and people stuck in the 90s totally dig it. That doesn't mean it was a dumb, ugly, incorrect, goofy looking, lame-o choice, made by the same team that made the flaming snot jersey, the pedestal jersey, and the little-bit-of-everything jersey with the cowboy shoulders.
