Thanks for the feedback guys.

- made numbers and "C" white for improved readability.
- Added silver outline around numbers and logos.
- made charcoal cloth of jersey and socks a bit lighter (to avoid one big black blob).

hope you like.

Loving both sets of Black/charcoal unis you created.

I think it'd be great to have one of those, or something like that as a third....

Good concept with one change, the Flaming C being red with a yellow border.

Okay, this is a design I made somewhat quickly, but the general idea is there. I've noticed a trend amongst some other teams (Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Florida & Columbus) to make this style as an alternate jersey.

I wouldn't want it as our primary Home jersey, but I'd love it for an alternate.

The idea of having another jersey colour option isn't to replace the main jerseys but to add some variety.

We are the C of red.

Of course, but most people don't buy more than one.

Replace the thick yellow at the end of the sleeves with black to match the collar, and you got yourself a deal! Looks great!

The original jersey and the original black crested flaming C (from last Stanley Cup run) are superb jerseys. Nothing else is needed. The black horse head jersey ranks as the worst jersey in Flames history, yes, worse than pedestal C. Shame on any concept design that removes the flaming C or moves away from red as the primary jersey color.

Ken...if you are reading this thread please ignore these silly designs and stay the course! These guys all forgot their ADHD meds today!

I understand the concept you are going for, but IMO it doesn't work. Specifically the colours chosen are too feminine (sorry girls) for a NHL team. I know some teams have lighter colours for 3rds and it works for them. But light red is really pink, and pink doesn't fit with a NHL team.

I think the best solution is retro red for home, retro red for away and 2004 red with black c for 3rd.

This. Black is so 1990s.

Tomo made a very nice looking jersey. However I don't feel that black should ever again be the primary colour for a Flames jersey. Black is a great accent colour but the primary should be red or nothing.

Tyler · 05-03-2012, 08:40 AM

Guys, it's not black... it's graphite!

Yeah, the red could be darker. I was going more for a maroon, but slightly muted.

You know it's spring and the Flames are golfing when the jersey threads are out in full force!

I'm glad so many of you still enjoy that old set I made waaaay back. I did it when it was announced that Reebok was taking over the NHL jerseys and the only template available at the time was the All-Star template from the previous year. That's exactly what it is - a recolour of the All-star jersey. The only "creative" thing I did was add the Alberta shoulder patches - which, honestly is just a rip-off of what Dallas did... just waaaay better.

I'm a huge fan of NO BLACK on the jersey. Not even as an accent. That isn't to say I don't like it - I actually love the Black 'C' but I think the Flames have always looked best in Red/Gold/White only. It's just so... classy.

I found this one I did a couple of years ago on my laptop this morning and thought I'd contribute it. Basically just a tweak of our old set. The shoulders might need a nice shoulder patch or something. I just like a clean look. Something our current home/away are NOT.

Anyway, please debate. I love these threads and how completely polarizing some of the opinions are!

Is graphite red?

I rest my case.

Bumping these from some discussion before they unveiled the retro 3rds...

I like the shoulder logos on these:

Someone had also posted this shoulderpatch idea:

Icon · 05-03-2012, 10:48 AM

^ Just noticed these were posted in this thread already; had skipped that page I guess.

Regardless, me still likey.

tomo · 05-03-2012, 10:53 AM

Like I have said before, I love the original Flames jerseys and I think our current jerseys are some of the finest in the league. Yes we are the sea of red, yes I love the retro jerseys. I'm not trying to replace any of them, well that's not completely true because I would like my concept to replace the previous black flaming horses head jersey.

My concept is more of an edit than a redesign of our current jerseys. All I have done is changed the colours a bit, added a couple stripes. I did this because personally I like the idea of a black or grey coloured jersey. I think that it adds a bit of variety and gets rid of the homogenization of only having a red or a white jersey.

For some reason when I look at that jersey I think of Flash Gordon.
