Trevor Kidd's dope gear could make anything look good..aside from his own game of course. I actually had that exact jersey: red pedestal Kidd #37, and I loved it back in the day. Agreed its aged poorly once we came out of the zany late 90s, plus its forever tied to the pitiful Young Guns era which combined with relocation threats, was the darkest era in team history. But when they first debuted they were actually pretty well-received.
They're definitely not great in hindsight, plus they opened the door for black to begin to seep its way in to infect our pristine colour scheme for 25 years. But the Blasty era was pretty much despised at the time - I recall it being called Horse Snot back then - and now suddenly everyone wants it back, so things can change. I'm guessing due to fans who were kids just getting into the Flames back then are now in their 20s and see their own youth in those jerseys so they want them back..never underestimate the power of nostalgia.
