I spoke with a reliable source yesterday regarding the flames retro jerseys in the playoffs and made in Canada Adidas jerseys vs. Indozeroes. A couple things to point out:

The flames retro gameworn jerseys have not gone on sale yet for a very specific reason. They will be wearing their current sets into the playoffs. No new retro sets will be made, but a new away set will. Made in Canada retros will likely go on sale after this season.

The source didn't want to confirm away retros being introduced next year but all signs and rumours certainly point to their release. Would not confirm or deny.

When asked about no retail version of made in Canada Adidas jerseys being available, the source responded by saying that Adidas simply could not keep up with the manufacturing demands, hence; no third jerseys in the first year. They were also very confused as to why Adidas would market the indozero as "on-ice authentics" when most fans won't know the difference. The source finally went on to say that a made in Canada retail variant could be on the horizon but had no real set timeline.

TLDR; flames will wear current retro sets into the playoffs. A new away set will be made, but no new retro set. Retro gamer jerseys will go on sale after the playoffs end. All signs point to the release of retro away jerseys next season but no confirmation as of yet. Retail Made in Canada Adidas jerseys could be available at some point.
