I think I like the retro whites (3) the best. They just look so good.

The CCM white (7) has a lot of sentimentel value for me.
It was my first Flames jersey back in 1996.
Remember, internet wasn't really around yet so good luck finding a Flames (or any hockey) jersey in The Netherlands.
I finally found an address and they had only one Flames jersey and in one size only.
It was way too big when I was 17 and it still is but I still wore it every single day for 2 years I guess.

2 years later I went back to the same place cause the owner had phoned me that he had a new Flames jersey for me (the black horsehead)
I couldn't check if it was a real Flames jersey but he convinced me I should buy it because it was the only one in Europe. He said he took it from a fair he attended and he wasn't allowed to sell it really.
Ofcourse that made it more interesting for me so I bought it and I probably overpaid
The owner also had a game worn Gretzky jersey... it was the first and last time I ever touched an oilers jersey.
