My guess though is that Adidas is coming out with these for now, and people will want the current jersey so the sales will be good. Then the alternates will come out and sales will be crazy good. Then teams will start making changes to their home and away and even more sales!


They are not good. The vertical stripes, the flags, the piping, the reliance on black equipment, the ugly font.

They are among the worst in the NHL. Right there with Ottawa and Colorado.

All teams are being hyped via the exact same teasers. Assuming the hype is Adidas mandated and not up to the Fames.

But like... didn't they say that the Flames were one of few teams in the league that were actually going to change SOMETHING on their jerseys?? How dare they betray us.

Fingers crossed for no piping

No italics in the name bar... isn't that enough for you?

The Flames have a flawless, almost universally loved jersey design that they simply refuse to use, instead they give us the same ugly one for over a decade.

Amazing.

I've been mining for optimism with every bit of news on these jerseys.

Honestly thought it'd be silly to not see the return of the white C, but was curious to see HOW they were going to bring it back. An entirely new design? A refresh of the classic? So interested, can't wait!

Ok... black C. Stupid, but we've all worked for 'those bosses' before. Perhaps we'll at least see a cleaned up version of what we have now. Clearly what we have now isn't good. Anyone can see that, and surely they're going to reward this fanbase's patience with something clean and proud. Though they've ignored a good portion of the fanbase that wanted a white C, maybe they're about to show us something so cool it'll blow our minds. Surely this proud organization in the midst of a rebirth and excitement to do more damage in the post-season is working on a good design, right?

Then I saw the flags. And I don't mean to climb on the hysteria train... but... #### you. This garbage was a joke when you first released it. Your fanbase, had you listened, really don't like them. There are a few, for sure. But there are also some (myself) that thought the pedestal was kinda neat. Your fanbase is trying to talk to you. The internet is LOUSY with great designs for you to consider. Listen.

Open your stupid ears and give the paying fanbase what you want. Your designs are garbage, and you're shoving it down our throats like an insolent child that can't take 'no'.

Just put some damn effort into it and come up with something good. You want the tax payers to pay for your arena, yet you shoved a terrible RBK Edge template on the ice year after year and ignored everyone asking for change. From one of the ONLY teams that continued to wear that crap template right up to it's retirement, anything less than fantastic is a failure. The Alberta flag and the black C is certainly stepping a great distance from 'fantastic'. We are looking to be the ####tiest team on the ice, yet again.

I can't be bothered getting too worked up about this, but I do have to admit that this will keep me from buying a new jersey this year.

Unusual business strategy.

They should replace the Alberta flag on the jerseys with the one in my Sig, maybe then we really could land Ovechkin.

Future teaser: "God all that piping is still there! Well at least there's no ads on the uniforms."

Final release: "WHY THE HELL IS THERE AN UBER LOGO ON THE JERSEY?!"
I'd take tasteful ads in black on the shoulders over the flags.
