I like them more than the maroon ones we wore vs Montreal in our first outdoor game though.

Xzibit would be proud.

Disagree on both these takes to be honest.
The Flames jersey looks really nice and actually looks like a really traditional hockey jersey in terms of the colors and striping pattern. Don't think it looks wal-mart quality at all (when I think of Walmart quality generally it's ugly busy striping and weird colors).
All Oilers jerseys look Wal-Mart quality - so no change there.
And I don't think the Flaming C within the circle makes it seem goofy. The Penguins, Blackhawks, Blues etc have all done it. Actually something not uncommon for the era of the 40/50s they are trying to represent here.
Think Adidas and the Flames did a good job here with what they were trying to achieve which was a Flames version of the old Stampeders hockey team jerseys.
