Hell even if they were money grubbing capitalists you'd think they'd see the gains in getting people to buy a new concept in a hockey market.

I think the plan has always been to have a full redesign which may be retro, when they entered a new building.
The owners, and not just one of them, wanted the flags. They just wanted the maple leaf and the Alberta flag shield, but weren't allowed.
Recall the Flames and Tampa had sock stripes for two seasons where the stripes didn't meet at the back. So Calgary was all in on being a Guinea pig for Reebok. I'd rather have had the more stripes then the Walmart practice jersey style the Oilers adopted with theeague wide change.
Plus, jersey contract also stated that they couldn't change for x number of years.
But in the end, again, the Flames are/were ways waiting for that next chapter in club history, and not before, that being a new building, to make the "big" change when it came to jerseys and uniforms.
