Hopefully this means we will start to see these come back with regularity. The sooner those Jim Peplinski collection at Walmart 3rds go away, the better.

Worst jersey in the league by a long, long stretch.

It's not even the worst jersey we currently wear. The only thing that doesn't suck about our primary sweaters is the primary logo.

Once in a blue moon a retro night is ok, otherwise leave them buried.

I say Buffalo's yellow thirds are worse, but the Flames' thirds aren't winning any prizes either.

I can only hope Burke took 'em all to Russia with him and leaves them somewhere.

I once saw one of our current 3rd jerseys stab a kid in the parking lot of the Saddledome. The kid was like 6 years old. How does a jersey even hold a knife?

Get rid of them.

Does Burke even bother with these sorts of things. Does he really deal with what the flames are wearing?

I like the retros but I agree that maybe once or twice a season is good and that is it. The 3rds we are currently wearing can go, we don't need them! Money grab.

He gave the thumbs up when Hartley asked to reverse the curse. So at some level maybe.

The retro third should be the regular home jersey, with a matching white one designed for the away jersey. That would be so much better than the current home/away jerseys.

Totally agree. Much prefer the retros over the new third.
