I love the retros. Part of that might be nostalgia, but we've also had some garish modern jerseys for a while now featuring bright blue shoulder flag patches and ugly black piping for a while too. Plus the failure of a 3rd Cowboy style jersey. So in comparison I can see why the cleaner retro jerseys are favoured by almost everyone I hear / read opinions from.
It's definitely not limited to just Flames fans either. I see on other generic NHL forums that the average hockey fan considers the Flames retros to be one of the best in the NHL.
