Re Blasty, I'm getting the idea, when he talked early about Adidas doing some new and different programs in the next couple years, that one of those said programs may include a special set for teams to use one season, for each team, for the 90s, and Flames would use Blasty or some variation for that special program, and just that program, as opposed to a full time return of the logo.

Also, the pic in the article of Popowich's concepts, the jersey 3rd from the back with the black arms and some sort of logo sublimated into the shoulder looks intriguing. And, does it have a red/retro collar, or is that the collar for the jersey ahead of it (which itself is some sort of Frankenstein, as it has the CF mountain patch on it on the current Adidas template,regardless of the collar)?

Be interested to see what all of those look like. From the pic the first four look like the current sets, as far as colors and patches (though the first one with retro colors only had a yellow piping on colllar, not white and yellow) so for them to be a concept kept out of sight, it must mean a different chest logo.

Also, finally, Infer the impression from all the comments that he has had over the past year, that a return to the retro isn't going to be the case, and that there will be a modernization of the retros for the new full time set.

Can they hold out on release on the next new set until the new building?
