So the Flames are just bringing back Blasty on a black jersey? Flames taken the safe route on the reverse retro theme, then.
The year noted is either the year style/color of jersey that teams are using as the basis (see Colorado and the 1979 Nordiques recolor) or an element from that year of jersey (if the Isles 80 is blue as it appears and they are not flipping jersey colors, they would likely have a different logo on the front).
So if that is the case, since the Flames already had a black jersey in 1998 (with Blasty) it's either flipping the red/white pedestal to make it a black pedestal as the "reverse color" route, or, taking the route of using an element from the 1998 jersey set (Blasty) and underwhelmingly putting it on another era jersey design (and that only reasonably could be the 1980-95 set since the 2004-2007 jersey design is the same as the original 1998 Blasty design and I doubt they use the Edge design or Western design) that is black.
So, my guess then since Blasty talk isn't going away, is the latter. Therefore I think it looks like this, except the jersey is black and not white.
