my first thought with that flames white was remove 'c' and throw on the german's hockey logo - you'd have a great jersey for the german olympic hockey team

Flip the red and black on the striping and shoulders on the white jersey and you have a win. And add the new shoulder patch.

I hadn't seen this one before - it's.......interesting.... Needs at least the flaming C on the shoulder - but overall based on the new secondary patch with the angles and arm stripes - I'd actually have preferred this 10x more than the 3rd jersey they went with...

'04 Jersey, but replace the horse head with the flags or the new shoulder patch.

[Tyler]

Sorry, but there is just something wrong with the flaming C not being on the front of our jersey that bothers me

[strombad]

Yeah, no Flaming C? Pass.

Plus that looks an awwwwful lot like the NYI third. And I use the word "awwwwful" very purposefully.

[Dr. Pepper]

Any takers?

[bc-chris]

first impression of the black jerseys is that it reminds me of this....




....so no thanks

[normtwofinger]

Can we let this thread die?

[SportsJunky]

Not if Dr. Pepper can help it.

You are close but all you really have to do is take the Flames 80's jersey and change all the red to black and it's done. Black, yellow, and red is just too much IMO.

[Magnum PEI]

nm wrong thread

[Bend it like Bourgeois]

Figured this could only be bumped for something like this






Fans will be snapping those bad boys up

Flags show lack of imagination and need to go

[Flashpoint]

Why wear a bag if you aren't wearing a jersey? Nobody knows which team you're embarrassed by.

I mean WE know. But nobody else will.

[$ven27]

Yes...they sadly will.

The more I think of it, the more I feel that the black C needs to be retired and the white C need to become the secondary one once again, along with removing the black outline on any of the logos. Red and Gold, and by default, white are Flames colours, and that should be the case once again.

On the thirds, my gripe with it is the black shoulders. In general, the black colour may clash on it too much, which is why it may not be welled received by the vocal group. In any concept made, the black colour clashes too much for my liking. The black has only looked good on the 04 jerseys, and that might because of the black pants since it jelled the whole uniform together.

The retro alternative reaffirmed that the Flames look their best when they're using their three original colours. I really hope that Flames executives follow the trend of what other sports teams across the continent have been doing, and either going back to their true colours, or removing black from their colour palette. I don't care if they're in their retros or they make a new design, but the black trend has faded away, and it's time Flames go back to their roots of red, gold, and white being the colours on their uniforms once again.

[btimbit]

Been rumours for a while that they'll keep the current thirds as thirds and bring back the retro thirds as the new regulars. I'd support that 100%

[CSharp]

The retro red jerseys or the red that you see with on the picture above with Hudler, those are the only two "HOT" Flames red. Leave the Flaming C logo the way it is, either white or red with embossed yellow on the outside.

When you're drunk at the Saddledome, you won't be able to read that word from the front of the jersey with a small logo. The new jersey is so dang amateurish in its design that it makes them look even more like a minor league team. Leave the Flaming C alone as it is and stop spelling things out!
