I think more than anything this shows how polarized the jersey market is. You see jerseys that I think are incredible that people hate more than anything, and vice-versa. You clearly can't make everyone happy, so why not generate more revenue streams?
I LOVE Blasty but I wish that they had changed up the color scheme a bit; this looks more like a sweatshirt I would buy as opposed to a jersey. But whatever.
Pretend it's two years ago and the Flames said "We are going to go back to our classic "retro" jerseys as the full-time jersey, and a few times a year we'll use wacky Blasty to change things up." How many of you would be angry? Let's be grateful we now have some of the most beautiful everyday jerseys, and take Blasty for what he is.
A godlike beast of passion.
