There's a very specific reason why we kept the same jersey for 10 years and have now released a slightly modified version, while at the same time the Calgary script jersey was only around for 3 seasons: These ones sell.
The Flames brass don't care about public opinion or letter writing or whatever else. They care about what's going to sell. If these don't sell they'll be more motivated to release a better jersey. However, if people continue to purchase these jerseys, they'll continue to run with them.
Sure, some might make the argument that new retros or an entirely new design might sell more, but that's speculative. These jerseys continue to be the most popular jerseys the team has had in terms of sales.
Vote with your wallet friends.
