Default Throwback Thursdays at the Dome?
Just got my season ticket package today. It looks like there are 6 home games designated as "Throwback Thursdays". Do you think that means they wear the retro jerseys on those nights? Anyone know anything about Throwback Thursdays?

Maybe they're throwing back to the young guns era.

The oilers ran something like this at the end of the year last year. It was nights where you could throw your jersey back on the ice!

I honestly hope they wear the retros for more than just 6 games next year. Is there anything about the third jersey mentioned??

Yay, another thread that will turn into whining about the retro's being discontinued.

My guess is either bringing in an old player or doing throwback prices at the concession. Nachos for $5, just like they were 20 years ago! Or having no sponsorships for those games so all the boards are white (so Sportsnet can superimpose their own ads)

Did they ever actually "discontinue" the retros? They wore them once last year.

Sounds like more of a nod to the recognition of the Twitter and Facebook trend of "Throwback Thursdays" and trying to relate to that audience.

Without retro jerseys around, the Flames do have almost 35 years of archive footage they could dip into for between whistle segments, that they currently crank out on the one or two "Retro" nights per season; that's probably about as far as its going to go, I would doubt they'd go back to concession pricing.

Your guesses are all laughably outlandish

Yes the GM and ownership want to 'throwback' to 1990's revenue

Nothing like a marketing gimmick that loses you money.

I'm guessing it's just like retro night. Old school jerseys and tunes.
