It sounds like a lot of people prefer B. And I have trouble understanding why.
Third option
C) the pride jersey is literally the Flames jersey, so the players wear them as the uniform they play for. Perhaps that is too close to option B, but the players don’t have an option and that is ok. They don’t just pick any old jersey to warm up in, or even practice in. This isn’t beer league.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
