To those saying it's a simple money-making business decision to not return to the retros full time, what do you think about the best jerseys in the game? DET, CHI, NYR, TOR, BOS, PHI, etc. Why don't these teams go full time to some ugly gimmick like the Flames and sell their retros on the side? Why did PIT, STL, BUF, etc ditch ugly gold, ugly pyjama design, buffaslug, etc and return to something classic?
There are more variables to consider than "ugly abomination + retro = $$$$$$". There are costs involved with wearing reebok edge 2007 designs in 2017 - pride in one's team, for example. It's all laundry after all.
