[getbak]

Red pants, helmet, and gloves with this could be an interesting look.

Gotta say Montreal is my favorite. Thry nailed the "reverse" part of reverse retro.
I guess we just went with remixed retro.

We took a jersey from the darkest timeline of our teams existent. Removed one panel of striping and showboat it around like its some great desgin feat. Im really lost what the point of this big reveal was?

Thank you. I guessed Gelinas because of the A on the jersey. I'm guessing that is Photoshopped in.

I like the “black out” appearance these jerseys give off. Minimal striping and will look very sharp on the ice.

My initial reaction was that they didn't do a great job on the stripes (not enough white on the front to balance with the white C's and the white numbers). But, I think these will look great as a full uniform set. Hopefully the pant shells complement the jersey well. Also interested to see if there is anything new with the helmets and what the socks look like. On TV, they could look very black and white and it might have a really cool effect.

Big reveal? Every team got a reverse retro, and they're all being promoted the exact same way, and were teased and released the exact same way.

It's not like the Flames are showboating like it's a design feat. All the promotion is the exact same way across the board.

This is because horse's eyes look dumb from the front with the way they bulge out the side. They aren't tucked in and facing forward like they do with tonal horse. It's also why you don't typically get many good views staring straight onto a horse, because horses turn their heads to see you better.



It's not a horse logo, it's a cartoon horse, a small but important difference. Cartoon's as logos are for minor leagues.

The Flames will be wearing black pants, gloves, and helmets with this jersey.

I like my original Blasty better but I will still buy one of these. What is better than a Blasty jersey? Two of them!

[habernac]

Snot horse sucks. And I must be in the minority as I hate the Habs in blue.

[CalgaryFan1988]

The black blasty was already a reverse retro, that was ahead of it's time.

Also I've seen fan renders that are much more interesting.

My original fits like a garbage bag so there's one good reason to buy a new one.

[GreenLantern2814]

Capitals, Blues, Kings, Ducks, Stars, Habs, and Canucks all executed this concept really well.

[dammage79]

Val Bure approves!

I want a Bennett Blasty Jersey.

Knowing the Flames, they will ruin this by having "V" style socks circa the 1978 Canucks:

[Burning Beard]

Darn right I'm buying one of these.

We have the best primary sets in the league now with the retros and I think this is the perfect time to bring the old horse head jersey back for a few games a year.

the Wild jersey is amazing.

Agreed, the Habs in Blue looks horrible

I think the Flames get a passing grade, but it's just... fine. Definitely were ways to improve on the design and just feels like this was the boring, easy option.

Actually its kind of funny looking at those Canucks V jerseys. You could literally do a GIF of the V lowering itself down to the waist and the arm bands extending, then with Flames logos appearing. LOL Inspiration from the one of the ugliest NHL jerseys of all times...
