The worst thing about the pedestial era was that it was part of the 1990s "black is cool - let's put it on everything" trend. The Flames just carried it on for a couple of decades longer than necessary, all the way through the prolonged flag era. Black on a third like Blasty? Sure. But the trim, pants, helmets, etc. on the primaries all went black and only recently went back.
May the proper colour palette of red, yellow, and white forever grace our primaries, and the club can do whatever they want on the third jerseys.
