Apparently very hokey, cartoonish, and epically hideous designs based on the first post.
I honestly don't know though. I didn't have whatever this is explained to me either.
If we're going full bad ours should be 100,000 AB flags woven into a jersey with blasty on the front.

I would have thought the "white blasty" jersey rumour would have painted a pretty clear picture of what a reverse retro is.
It's a jersey from a team's past, but in the opposite colour scheme than previously used.

Or post #1 which has 4 jerseys that are flipped colour schemes (or updated to new colours) as one of their designs of old.

It’s why I think a Red Blasty is what we’ll end up getting. Not the original black, not white, but red to fit in the C of Red.

Credit to Beaviwi for the White Blasty concept, that was my inspiration for throwing these together.

As I surmised earlier, it technically should be a very modern space age jersey.

Sounds like it just required downloading the roster update to fix.
Still not a good look, but that's par for the course for EA.

Had the Flames not put in the pedestal, and kept the helmet red in 1995 the new concept would have been much more palatable IMO.

Yeah, I actually don't mind the black logo jersey with the red helmet and gloves. The black with the retros is a no go though.

And I agree that home jerseys should say "Flames" and away should say "Calgary," so if they were doing a home reverse-retro, then more-or-less inverting the colours of the sweater would be awesome. For an away jersey, just turn the sweater into the jersey and replace "Flames" with "Calgary." |
A reddit poster did a mock-up! Thanks u/EdmontonsNoGood ... though you credited me as 'drivethru' ... but I accept nonetheless.
Spoilered for size.

Wouldn’t be my first choice for a Jersey, but this is really clean. A red version that says “FLAMES” would be great too

My personal take is it's going to be one of two things.
1) If the team colors are still the same as they were at the time of the original jersey, then they will just be a flip of the colors of the original jersey.
Examples: The Penguins and Flyers jerseys seen in this thread
2) If the team colors have been changed then I think it will be a re-coloring of the original jersey to now match the new team colors
Examples: The rumoured Ducks Wild Wing jersey now being in the teams Black & Orange

Maybe an accident by EA but im glad we saw that. That should actually be the alternate look for the team. Old primaries but with red helmets and gloves. Actually looks half decent.

That attention to detail and love of classic Flames colours is who I want in charge of our branding.
