				 Jets to wear white classic jersey tonight at home, Flames will wear red on the road 
 
			
			Yeah maybe not that thread worthy on it's own, but come on Calgary, don't blow this opportunity to make something beautiful. Wear the retros!

The retros would be great and I bet the Jets would be all for it too, it would look gorgeous

			Only a one game road trip so can't use logistical issues as an excuse either

			It would almost be insulting not to wear the retros.

			If the Flames wore the retros, it will be the most beautiful event in Winnipeg's history. Winnipeg, however, is not worthy of such beauty. Regular reds for them.

			I thought I read somewhere that the jerseys for each game are decided before the season starts?

I think they designate stuff like retro nights ahead of time but things always change. I remember the first year with the walmart thirds they decided to not wear them last minute because the team was on a winning streak and didn't want to jinx it by wearing a jersey they had a bad record in.

			Jets way not want us stealing their thunder by wearing our retros. One glimpse of us in them will convert any Jets fan to a Flames fan in a heartbeat, Winnipeg "heritage" jerseys be damned.

Seriously is no one on the Flames smart enough to catch something like this? 
 
What a perfect opportunity to wear your retro reds away from the Dome against a team wearing their old uniforms as well. No no.. we don't want to do that, it's so obvious we'll just ignore it.

			I get the impression this was a last minute decision by the home team. Selfish Jets.

You think the Flames would be. 
 
I don't see WPG just deciding yesterday they wanted to wear their Heritage Classic uniforms. The uniform sched is usually released before the season starts so they had every opportunity to pull this off.
