I think we just have to accept that people will wear black and other colours to games in the regular season. The Blasty jersey is an incredibly popular look around the league, not just in Calgary.
But as long as the Flames message it right then I think people will leave the black jerseys in their closet come playoff time. The Flames had a black jersey in 2004 and it didn't really have any impact on the C of Red.
It's like the old argument I used to read here that the Flames didn't want to design a good white jersey because then more people would buy it and break up the sea. I don't think it matters much in the regular season, wear whatever Flames jersey you want. In the playoffs? People will always wear red.
