Yeah, the font looks off. Here are the others for reference:

Should have had the names in the same script as the front.

From the intro video, the other concepts they were working with:
So...it could have been worse.

^ What. The. Hell.
Which elementary school was tasked with the design?

A jersey with that combo boot/skate logo would have been the laughing stock of the league.
And horseshoes? Especially with the "U" shape of the horseshoe upside down? That means your luck will run out!!!

Ha ha, that would have been insane. But I like the idea. If we are going to have clown jerseys might as well go all out.

I like the jersey.
I hate the wordmark/logo.
Judging from the concepts above, it looks like they were set on a wordmark one way or the other.

The boot skate lol. I just realized I do not own a jersey that has a current player playing for the Flames. Iggys gone Kipper is gone. I need to get something. I still don't see myself buying one of these jerseys.

Straight up Bad! Their design firm should be fired. I would be embarrassed to show off those concepts. The final design is no better. Trash pile after year one. Back to the drawing board. Yuck
Many of the designs contained within this forum are far superior.

How the heck do we have such amazing digital content being produced - but our jersey designs are apparently outsourced to elementary students in a school with no art program?

It kind of looks off, but when they used a smaller Flaming C previously, it really didn't work either (see below). I like keeping the Atlanta logo, but it sort of feels like a no win situation.

The NHL told the Flames to change the captain's C when they tried it. Some stupidity about not duplicating the logo on the front. But in short, they can't do it. At least not in a style that resembles our usual logo.
Anyway, I liked the concept from the leak, and I like them more now that I've seen and bought one. I would still have preferred the Flaming-C on one shoulder rather than on the front, but it isn't as dominating/out of place as the EA leak made it seem. Really like the style of striping. I wouldn't be surprised if they repeat what they did in 2003 and use this striping with the primary logo when they replace the main jerseys in a few years.
Two things I really don't like though. The stripes around the arms don't go all the way around. That little "pocket" for the elbow pads causes a break and ruins the effect. Still looks better than the striping on those half-baked Oilers jerseys from a few years ago.
And yes, the number font. Terrible. I was going to get a Giordano jersey until I saw the font. Hopefully they correct that for next year.

Also, there is something ridiculous about people whining about how ugly the REJECTED concepts were. Something tells me most of you have never been involved in anything like that. There are always 20 bad designs to every good one when you are in the spitball phase.

Anything with an F and C overlaid like that makes me think FC, like "Football Club" for all the European soccer teams.

You're right, but that boot skate is just ridiculous. And someone liked the yellow version enough to want to see it in black.
Having said that, I think we'd all be happy if there had been one good design for those 20 bad ones.

I think that was their intention. It's similar to me hanging out with ugly, pathetic losers. I may not be great, but at least I'm better than those turds.

I like it.
I'll add it to my collection and if I didn't I would probably still add it to my collection.
If you don't like it don't buy it, it's as simple as that. There are worse jerseys out there

That boot logo reminds me of the old Calgary Spurs AJHL logo:
Other than the 5, I like the font for all the other numbers and the name font.
I think we're going to be seeing a lot of these with the #23 on them.
