NHL 2017 Redsign

Came across this website and this poster is redesigning every NHL team's jersey. I like a lot of his work and think he did great with Calgary. With Adidas being the sponsor next year, hopefully the Flames listen to the majority of their fan base and go with the retros full-time or at least a modernized look of the retros. It's classic, clean and just a beautiful looking jersey. I'm not sure how I feel on the black alternate jersey. If the Flames are adamant on keeping black in the color scheme, hopefully they bring back the 04 jersey.

Here are his notes:

Calgary might have the worst look the league. Blunt but honest. The random piping, the flags on the shoulders. Yeah it needs to go. I think the answer for them lies in the past.

- Dropped black from the home and away uniforms.
- Look reminiscent of the 80's, but made a new striping pattern.
- Dumped the name font and went to a block font, but kept the numbers
- Pants have a new stripe.
- I loved the logo from the now retired alternate jersey, so that gets used here
- Kept the pointy yoke but added stripes to it, and I'll explain why.
- The double stripes come from the old Calgary Stampeders (WHL, not CFL)
- And I then extended the design across the board.
