Because the image is darkened, it is difficult to say what shade of red the jersey is. It would be neat if it was retro red with a black C.

Taking a while to get to 5000

So long as there are no flags or piping, its a win.

retro red and the red they currently use with the black C is the same colour

This should be simple!
Why can't they just get this right! White C, retro red jersey, retro red helmets.
Why does something so obvious have to be so difficult!

While I am disappointed, I hope they take the opportunity to -
- use the 3rd jersey shoulder patches
- clean up the jersey (piping, etc)
- take out the terrible flags
I can kind of imagine that they didn't want to go back to retros because they felt they could get more sales from introducing a new jersey versus just shifting the retros (which had already been in circulation) to the full-time home jersey.

Ugg of course the Flames are keeping the black. Their desire to keep their brand based in contemporary design is so frustrating.

I agree with you 100%. Love the black C, love the shoulder patch from the 3rd. Just get rid of the flags and piping and it'll be perfect.

From what I can find, every team except Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Colorado, Pittsburgh, and Nashville have tweeted out their teaser images so far. Of those, Colorado is the only one who might make a significant change to their look.
Of the ones that have tweeted already, the Oilers switching to orange full time (which was already known) and the Wild switching to a green primary with a white middle stripe appear to be the only significant changes from last season for any team. Of course, the base colour and main logo are the things that are least-likely change for any team, so it's not surprising that we haven't seen too many departures for now.
Also, it looks like Vegas will have a dark grey primary jersey, which was speculated about based on other images they've revealed, but not fully confirmed until now.
All of the teasers can be seen here: https://twitter.com/adidashockey

Minnesota also looks to have a significant change with a white line/bar going horizontally across/around the jersey.

Looks like the actual logo is same material as the jersey?

I reserve judgement until I see the entire jersey. I don't mind the black C if the rest of the jersey looks retro.

Looks like I will not be purchasing a new jersey. The Flames are truly idiots.
