Well who would disagree with that?
There were certainly plenty of Iggy jerseys before that. Obviously a cup run and a team the city fell in love with pushed merch sales through the roof.
I think we are on the same page. I just think Iginla reaching superstar status and the team contending basically went hand in hand, with maybe a season or 2 that didn't overlap.
There was also a beautiful new red jersey that came out in 2003/2004 that sold like hotcakes. Iginla was obviously the most crested name on that one
