Is it possible for a fan to begin selling "unofficial" jerseys? What if fans wore them to the games? Would Flames management have the clout to deny entry?
The plain red jerseys look really good. The minimal amount of gold and more red allow it to look striking.
as a fan (or even me with my business) i can make whatever i want with which ever logos i want. the key is that i'm not allowed to sell the stuff that i make becuz i'm using registered trademarked logos without permission.
every fall there is a trade show for western canada in calgary. the company i get most of my production supplies from has a really cool product that is called 'prisma' - it's two layers of plastic. the first layer has thin bands of colours printed on to it, the top layer is clear and has a bunch of different angles... like a prism. the result is a material that appears to change colour depending on the angle that you are looking at it from.
the owner of this embroidery supply company and i were chatting and came up with the idea of making up a few jerseys that could be displayed at the trade show to show off the prisma material. she supplied the materials needed and i did the rest - all free of charge. the trade show came and went and everything was good... then my phone rang and i had a business man calling me about the jerseys that were on display and this guy was going off - i guess he owned a company that was a registered producer for the nhl. once he found out that everything was supplied and i just put everything together and no money was exchanged he cooled down.
i remember asking him if i was correct in saying that i can put whatever logo i want on stuff, as long as i'm not profiting becuz of the logos it's pretty much fine. he did agree with that. the vibe i was eventually getting from him is that he was choked that what i had made looked pretty cool and he wanted to do the same thing and sell it! ha! ha!
some pics of this prisma material....
Spoiler!
the first 2 pics are the same hoodie. you can see how much the flaming c changes depending on the angle you are looking from....

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the black flaming horse head jerseys.
You know what, those weren't all that bad. In fact, they destroy the current set of Home and Away. The horsehead probably never should have been anything more than an alternate, but I think it wins if compared to the Alberta flag jerseys we currently have. Yuck. Ken King def needs to get rid of the flag patches, and get rid of the black/burnt flaming C. Or better yet, let's just get rid of Ken King!
Those are some of the ugliest jerseys I have ever seen. Betman is taking this parity thing too far.
Also, those are some of the worst abbreviations for hockey teams ever too. Calgary is CFL? Umh... That thing, I do not think it means what you think it means.
