As long as they finally make the retros the primaires next season (or a modern version of it if they want something new still), then I'll be happy.
This just doesn't make sense to me. You release the same jersey kits with a new shoulder patch and yo have a whole host of people buying that new jersey, not to mention a new, originally designed logo that you can now put on merchandise. How does that not make more money than continuing to use the same jersey with logos that you don't even own the trademark for? It's not like they can sell hats with the AB flag as "Flames" merch, not that anyone would buy it.
