There would be a light at the end of the tunnel if we learnt KKing went out on a limb and said these will sell like Alberta flapjacks or you can fire me at season end.

They really are brutal...these are on par with the Burger King jerseys. Either way, the the result won't change one way or the other.

Can someone also do an analysis of our record since we started yelling "C" and "Red" during the American anthem? I think the numbers would be scary bad. We should stop that.

Yup, If I remeber correctly started sometime around end of the last season when we actually made the playoffs. We sure weren't doing it before then.

The loudest I've ever heard it was at the Heritage Classic, which the Flames won 4-0. Clearly, the problem is that not enough people are yelling it.

Do we know if they have plans to stop wearing the jersey next season? Or has it been confirmed that they'll be wearing this next year too?

I would assume that with all the hype the organization tried to build around these things that they will be back next year.

The NHL has rules on third jerseys, they will be back next year 100%, and possibly the 15-16 season, I can't remember the rules exactly, but third jerseys cannot be 'one-and-done' even if the team no longer wants to wear them.

I actually like the third jerseys myself, I think they look great out on the ice! Clearly I'm in the minority? Haha

I don't know about the record nor do I know when we started doing it, but it is damn fun yelling that out during the American Anthem.

Why did they play the American anthem during a game between Montreal and Calgary?

So we could yell out "C" and "RED", I guess.

I'm kind of glad they put the Retro thirds away for this season.

I'd hate to watch the team wearing those BEAUTIFUL jerseys getting clobbered in them game after game.

Bring 'em back though, if/when the rebuild is complete,and we have (hopefully) a juggernaut.

What I hate the most about them is the big "Calgary" across the front. Replace that with the black flaming C, change the shoulder blazes and I think they'd be good.

I just can't get past the fact that I laughed at the idiot 9anucks for plastering Vancouver across the front of their unis, figuring that either their players or fans were too f'ing stupid to remember where they lived....and then we went and did the same thing.

LOL at the Jets fans yelling out "True North" during the National Anthem the other day...

Winnipeg still gets a pass from me, they're still recovering from 15 years of no hockey. A little homage to the guys who brought good times back to the 'peg is a fair tribute.
