I just find them better as thirds. Maybe the retros will grow on me more.
I really hate the Adidas home and away jerseys. Who the hell decided to switch to the non italic font, and those disgusting stripes on the side. I kinda want the Flames to bring back the CCM home and away jerseys.

Love the black C too, but I am so excited to see the Retro Reds in the playoffs. I started watching the Flames when they got the pedestal jersey, and just after they started plummeting into the basement in the young guns era (was not around when they were introduced in 94-95) and the Retros were these seemingly magical unis that symbolized how good the Flames once were, memorialized in grainy VHS tapes/tv clips of glories past. I love that they are making a comeback.
Agree about the Adidas silks, but I actually like the normal font. I have always thought the italic font and numbering on the jerseys, as far back as the pedestal years when they first came into effect, were incredibly tacky. Like the comic sans of NHL jersey fonts. I find the non-italic ones to be more...forthright. Just my $0.02.
