I'm happy with them. I find they're a marginal improvement, which is better than no improvement. I honestly expected worse.
People feel angry because they convinced themselves this would be something different even against the word of the Flames themselves. It's hard to have sympathy for that. We knew exactly what we were getting and they delivered. People will buy these jerseys just like they did the last ones, and some people won't (just like they didn't the last ones). In the end, we'll all get used to them and they'll keep selling.
In the end, it's important to remember that they DO look cleaner, the numbers and lettering is a nice improvement, and the door isn't closed on a redesign.
