I love the Vegas jerseys. Hard to make them any better.
This one looks good but is now their 3rd best jersey.

Not surprised. I've known for years.

That said, I'll miss the soon-to-be old sets, as seen below.

If the announcement on the 5th is true can the Flames ever break away from the retros again?

Yes. They need to stick with minor tweaks though, like Chicago and the Rangers have done for the most part.

Y’know, I was on the fence and then L’il John showed up.

Not a cooler franchise in the game than VGK. Those threads are amazing.

With the draft, I think many teams are releasing this weekend.

Vegas looks good, though I thought (like Seattle will when they do a third jersey) they would put the/a secondary logo as the main logo on that 3rd jersey.

A permanent flag on the back of the helmet or something, 10000% support that.

But the jersey is different, needs to fit a colour scheme/flow and whatnot

Consider me in the minority but I actually prefer the 04 red jerseys to the 89 ones. I think the 89 ones are super nice as well, but the 04 ones are just a little bit sharper IMO.

Spoiler!

The 04 jerseys are definitely the best jerseys, but I feel like they've been forever tainted by the last two jersey sets.

It's insane to me that they only used the 04 red jersey for two seasons. 04 and the year after the lock out, thats it. After that they went with basically the current jersey for 14 seasons.

What even was the thought process to switch up from the CCM style to the Reebok style? Everything became worse about the jersey

The material, construction, and fit of the jerseys became drastically different. Reebok threw a bunch of piping and vertical stripes onto the jerseys to highlight the "Reebok Edge" jerseys, which were being highlighting for their breathable design. Unfortunately it was pretty far off from what defines a hockey jersey. IMO hockey jersey need the horizontal stripes. Piping is not a thing.

Everything. Every single change or slight alteration they made to that jersey made it worse.

- Made the crest smaller (or lower, or it just looked worse with everything else)
- Added ribbing
- Changed the arm stripes
- Changed the sides and bottom
- Added ####ing flags in place of the horse head

Plus they changed the pants and changed the socks.

How in the world do you make so many changes and have every single one of them look worse than the previous version?

It's so gaudy, but also so Vegas.

3 seasons. The Edge designs were introduced in 2007-08.

13 seasons with the flags. They only wore the retros for the first 14 seasons in Calgary.
