Interesting observation, but a fairly benign issue IMO. Besides, you're not just replacing the straps, but the ear loops as well.
If you want to get technical, the more interesting question is why the Flames used to wear crimson red helmets that were a different shade than the rest of the jersey. Try to un-see THAT:
As for real issues, I'm hoping Monahan wears his chinstrap a little tighter next year. It not only looks dumb when it gets knocked off, but it hurts the team if he has to leave the ice (or worse if he gets a penalty).
