I don't know, I'm not big on this and I certianly don't get the 'somebody had the balls to try something like this' comment. It seems to me looking around the league everybody has the balls to try something like this.

Isn't every single third jersey made now have this circle with the team logo inside it? St Louis, Columbus, Florida, Minnesota, Pittsburgh.

That Jones one a few posts earlier is the best tweak of a Flames jersey I have ever seen.

True that, most teams now have the circle logo as their 3rd alternate but I'd like to see how it would like in a Flames Uniform.

ok - so tonight i was working on a couple of baby blankets (my wife is preggers with our first child!!). i decided that on the red side of the blanket i wanted to do a 3-colour flaming c... white inside, then red, then yellow.

i made up the patch and thought, 'man... that looks really sweet.... i wonder what it would look like on the retro jerseys?!?!?' so i grabbed a jersey and i think i actually squealed with delight! this pic has the logo on the back of the jersey since the patch i made for the blanket is smaller than the patch on the front of the jersey - but you'll get the idea....




personally, i love it - i think it looks sweet. i should just make my version of the logo bigger and replace the front patch on my jersey..... hmmmm

The front crest flaming "C" needs to be slightly bigger, and lose the stripe on all the pants, and those are pretty fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

Not close to finished, but just thought I'd post up something I've been toying around with (while avoiding any kind of real work...)

The font is too small for the names but other than that, I like it a lot (the second one better)

Edit: I also would like to see how it looks with a smaller yellow horizontal strip on the bottom instead of the larger one that you currently have. Perhaps the same size as the smaller strip on the sleeve, if that makes sense.

Thanks bud, and good call on the font.

Here it is with a thinner belt line. Personally, I dig the waist high yellow, but this also looks damn clean:

Why do we use the laces, we were not part of that era of hockey?

And to finish off the concept, the away threads:

[FakenHaken]

Like both but prefer the larger yellow stripe at bottom as you had mentioned. Also the aways look great as well. Love the off white not the super bleached whites we have now.

[red sky]

Yeah, I think I like it better with the big stripe as well. Sign me up, I'll take a home Mackinnon jersey

This.

Damn solid concept. Good job. Would love to see the Flames in those.

Love this concept.
I would make a couple edits.
1. The name on the back needs a subtle change. Right now it is a similar typeface as what Phoenix uses, it's nice but not with the minimal design of this jersey.
2. Would love to see the alternate logo taken off the shoulder and a smaller version where the Reebok logo is. Reebok logo moved to the bottom center, maybe in the yellow stripe.
3. The laced neck makes the front a bit busy. Might look cleaner without them. Less is more...

But sweet design. This would be nice to combine it with my graphite concept as well for a 3rd...

[Coach]

Those are a great concept. I think its pretty obvious the vast majority of people (at least those on here) like the retro look or some variation of those colors with a simple template. They can go nuts on a 3rd. Make it baby blue for all I care, but please, please, please keep the regulars with these concepts.

[sevenarms]

I really like that sleeve. Agree that the bottom needs a little work but that is a damn fine jersey.
