Then, we find out that the new third is going to be the retro again. We've been down this road before. Retro is third, then discontinued. Then retro is third, then discontinued.
It just seems like a rehash of the same road we've been down. I want something new. I don't want the retros to be the thirds. I want the retros to be the full time jerseys, and then something new and interesting for the thirds. In my perfect world, it'd be something based upon the shoulder logo from our wordmark jerseys. But not the wordmark jerseys themselves. I was most definitely not a fan of those.
And ditch the black.

Couldn't agree more.
I remember doing backflips and even pre-ordering before the reveal when the new Reebok Edge jerseys were coming out. I was on pins and needles waiting for the Flames to announce beautiful jerseys last year and... nope.
Just feels like we're going to be disappointed one way or another. I'll be happy to finally get a Tkachuk throwback, but until they change the primaries this feels like a brief moment where they appease the fans before we see more of their vision of the team.
