I remember. For the first time in three years, they looked like their sweaters didn't come from Canadian Tire. I thought they'd have to be the dumbest organization in sports to not go with these full time, if not now then at least for the playoffs, and subsequently full time next year.
Flags. Blue flags on a red jersey. Piping. Always with the piping. Even the wordmark thirds knew better than to have ####ing piping. They could've called Reebok or Adidas at any point in the last seven years, said 'hey man, can you send us one without piping? Yeah keep the flags. And the numbers. Just no piping. Thanks.'
Nope. #### you, fans. The commercial was right - we sure don't wear red because you guys made such cool shirts.
