Many people here keep saying things like - "hey listen to us Flames! The vast majority of people want to go back to retros!"
I also want to throw in my anecdotal evidence that the retros are not universally loved, and also point out that our small CP community does not represent everyone who has an opinion on the uniforms.
But what I'd like to stop hearing is the whole "everybody wants the retros back!"
No they don't.

What a strange way of interpreting the poll. Firstly, 58% is a very strong majority, especially in a poll with several different options. Next, lumping all the other categories together doesn't represent anything as there can only be one jersey. You can't interpret this as 42% of people would be happy with a jersey other than the retro. If the next most popular jersey was selected, only 11% of people would be getting their first choice. If you remove all the other options as a primary choice and just kept the top 2; ~85% of votes went to the retro which is huge. You can say that CP is a small sample size, but to say any other
one jersey would satisfy close to as many fans as the retros would based on this poll is completely false.
