That would be the most Jason Kenney thing ever, SuperMatt.

But I think it probably has to do with the logistics of bringing in twice as many sets of pants and gloves into the bubble. I imagine laundry will be crazy enough as it stands. The Flames' current home/away rotation uses the same gloves and pants, but the retro reds use red pants and gloves which would have doubled the Flames' cleaning load if used in conjunction with the standard white kits. Of course you'd think the additional laundry concerns might have been abated if the Flames were allowed to use their retro white kits, which also use the red pants and gloves, but it doesn't sound like the NHL was ever going to allow them to use those.
