They look nice mind you, but...its Atlanta. A place with the unique distinction of having lost two NHL Franchises.

Yeah, I can understand not wanting to wear them in an actual game. But as a one-off thing for a warmup ... I think it's pretty damn cool. The logo rocks.

They look great. The colour of red looks slightly darker than the present day jerseys, but still nice.
I think they would make a great 3rd. A can stand for Alberta too…
I mean we are Alberta’s team.

I'd say that's a precursor to next season's Reverse Retro.
Red with the 1972 Atlanta striping.

I always loved the old Atlanta jersies and this is a cool take on them. Will definitely pick one up if they become available.

I wonder if the Jets will ever make a version of their old Atlanta jersies? I'm not sure if you can produce something nice from something so ugly, but...

Winnipeg is No Good, so it'd just be more No Good on top of the No Good.
I think they prefer to draw their lineage from the WHA Jets.

I'm sure they would prefer that. The alternative is to admit that a city that is going to make its team play in 3,000 seat arena next year was once considered a better hockey market than Winnipeg.

Well done Scorp. Nice little piece of Flames history.
Like how they used the Flames style "5" on the 50th patch.

Patch and the pattern within the numbers are cool.
Color is off because it's just an Adidas generic practice jersey with the required name, number and patch additions.

Atlanta was awarded a NHL Franchise in November 1971 and the team was named in June 1972. I'm not sure what the significance of doing this commemoration in March is.

Because the 1972 Atlanta Flames could even beat the 2022 Edmonton Oilers. C'mon Reg.

Those threads are beautiful. I’d 100% like to see the team where them in a game.
Lots of people would buy them too.

Just for the memes I would like to see Winnipeg and Calgary both play against each other in Atlanta retros, just once. Would be cool to do it in atlanta too, I’m sure there’s at least a couple hockey fans down there that would really appreciate that.
