Not surprisingly the Flames are guilty of both.

I was around on the Stamps end of things when this jersey was being designed. The design was done with just one thing in mind, basically what is seen on the Smith and #11 jerseys. It was realized that the design wouldn't really work with the lineman cut jerseys. Reebok didn't care and just came up with having a second shape for that type of jersey cut. I remember thinking it was weird to have two different designs on the same jersey set.
There were several large issues with Reebok when they took over the CFL contract. I thought a lot of it had to do with the fact it was the CFL so it wasn't very high profile. Wouldn't surprise me if there were some similar issues going through the Edge change. Not sure how things differ with Adidas as the name behind the jerseys considering it's the same company. Point is, sometimes the teams don't get exactly what they want or things can go wrong because too many people/sides are involved.
