It'll be interesting to see how ownership takes this. This is not a poor response to the jersey itself, but to it being the same thing people have seen over and over.
Hopefully ownership realizes that this is the result of covering your ears for the last decade. From the majority of the feedback the ownership is receiving, fans have purchased one jersey from them since 2007 that they are happy with; and today they brought it back for you to buy it again! It's kind of like your Christmas gift being something they stole from you last year.
Can you imagine the wildly different response they'd be receiving today if they reinstated the retros when they should have last year and rolled out a well-done 3rd jersey today instead?

While I like the retro and it was the right decision for right now, they haven't actually designed anything NEW that looks half decent since they wisely went to the red primaries with the '04 shirts. Since then, we've got flags, scripts, black, and the Ronald one-off for the Heritage Classic. Not a great track record. They can pat themselves on the back for going retro again, but until they actually design something new that isn't terrible, I'll fear the next primaries. They haven't had a design home run in what will be at least 15 years.

Hell, they're allowed a 3rd and a retro. Imagine if this was the primary, you tried something cool and wild with your 3rd... and rolled out your Blasty retro.
You're printing money at this point.
