Actually I was just thinking how '04 was only a year removed from the switch from whites being the home color and that most likely contributed to the Red/Not Red confusion.

I can't imagine there are too many people out there that still only have a white jersey when Red has been the home color for more than a decade.

I want to bring buckets of red paint, PETA style, to all home playoff games. Not wearing red is our version of wearing fur. Red paint shower for you!

The 'C of Red' is a logo that is stitched onto the Flames away jerseys.

The Sea of Red is what the Saddledome is called during playoffs.

I don't care if the club has officially adopted 'C of Red.' They are wrong.

Disagree. The fans in the Saddledome have never been the "Sea of Red". Not in 1986 when it was created, and not in 2004 when it was re-born.

C of Red. Deal with it.

I propose this thread be locked until the Flames actually clinch a playoff spot.

Let's make sure the team is in before arguing about what to wear to the games.

It's C of Red. Been that way since 1986.

That's the thing about the C of Red -- there is no "we" and "they".

I prefer Sea of Red to the gimmicky "C" of Red.

The KC Chiefs have dibs on the Sea of Red. We're good with C of Red.

It's C of Red. The same as the C of Champions VHS tape from '89
