He goes out of his way to say that it is really a personal preference for him. He doesn't like the horse logo and doesn't like black on a Flames jersey. I agree with him on both points but for something like this I don't think it's a big deal. Let the fans enjoy it if that's what the majority likes.

I love Blasty and have defended it many times in this thread.

With that being said, it should never be in discussion to be a primary Jersey for the Flames. The design works because it’s a fun, unique alternative to our classic sweaters.

I firmly believe once you have nailed your home/away kits you should be a little “out there” with your alternate and specialty jerseys.

Pretty outrageous he has some of those other monstrosities ahead of Blasty though.

It’s clear he’s big on the 80’s and more traditional retros with him having Minny, Colorado, LA, Montreal, and Carolina so high. I bet he loves our home and away jerseys.
