Who is the retailer?

Well in this case the retailer would be the Flames FanAttic stores.

And I'd disagree that this isn't a concession, any discount is a concession to consumers. The motivations may be based on a number of things, and I'd agree that 'fan appreciation' likely doesn't top that list, but it's still a concession.

Well I cannot complain!!

Hello Lanny'sDaMan,

The jersey will be ready for pick-up during business hours after January 31st, 2013 at the Flames main reception located on the Northeast side of the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Oh sure, but you still have to buy the 50/50 ticket. What a way to take advantage of the fans.

[Rhettzky]

So the Flames have:
-Put all Flames related merchandise at the Fanatic to 50% off from now until game 2
-Put the 50/50 for the first two games of the season at a guaranteed 100k
-Offered food for 50% off for the first two games, and
-Allowed season ticket holders free ticket e-mails and transfers until February 20th

Not too bad, IMO.

I looked at Flames Authentic Third Jerseys and they only had sizes 46 and 50. While it's a great deal the amount available are very limited.

[Envitro]

Not bad...

I wasn't planning on attending any games for the first month of the season but as a hot house member I was advised that I will recieve tickets to one of the first 2 games. I wasn't going to spend any money on merchandise this year but with 50% off a jersey I might pick up that Baertschi jersey I have been wanting.

You win this round Flames.

Really, you'd rather they give you $5 worth of Nacho's then potentially save you $100 on a Jersey or something?

I get the concept behind you still have to spend $100 to get that $100 discount on a jersey. But if that's not appealing, $5 worth of snacks will make it better?

How big is size 46? That sounds really big, if it's comparable to suit sizing.

[Kickazzflames]

If they make beer 50% they got me sold.

[Kickazzflames]

Also.. Can I apply my STH fan attic card and get additional savings?

46 is the smallest they make. A 52 fits somewhat like a medium.

Are you sure (on the 52)?

I am pretty sure that I either get a 50 or a 52 jersey and I am a large in most things (6'1" 42" chest)

[MissTeeks]

Oh man, those jerseys are tempting! I would really like a new retro as the one I have now is a men's small and it looks like a freaking dress on me.

Here's the size chart from the NHL store if that helps you guys:

I just picked up a 52 at the dome fanattic. It was also an Edge 2.0.

Nice!
On the neck, did it say Reebok, or have the old RBK logo?

[Magnum PEI]

^
reebok written, not the logo.

What's the difference?
