Completely agree. The Flames used to have a unique colour scheme but now look like a slight variation of all the other red and black teams.
The addition of black seems stuck in the 90s when it was considered the best colour ever and so many teams were adopting it. The Kings changed to it, Minnesota and Calgary added it, then Boston, Philly, and Chicago all came out with a black jersey. Most of the expansion and relocated teams of the era also had black in some form including San Jose, Ottawa, Tampa, Colorado, Dallas, Phoenix, and Carolina. It wasn't even immune to the NHL as the Blue Jays adopted that horrible black colour scheme. At least in that case one of my favourite teams listened to fan feedback and eventually went back to their proper colours.
