Got mine pre-ordered. Can’t wait! The CGY Team Store has some close-up pictures of the jersey. The weird panel where the pedestal is looks odd but up close it’s not too bad.

Not into dropping $200 on authentic. Hopefully they have the replicas.

It's a $50 difference between Fanatics and Adidas, and it's 100% worth it. Fanatics quality is absolute trash, and you have the pleasure of knowing you didn't give $150 to Fanatics, which is an abhorrent and terrible company that needs to go bankrupt.

Got a blank pre-ordered. Might look into getting a name on the back once it arrives. Not making the same mistake I made with the blasty reverse.


Curious if one can do a pre-order at the game and get the STH discount?

Pre-ordered with Kadri. Will reserve my judgement for now and decide when I see it in person.

Wondering what the entire set will look like.

These might look slightly better than crappy with red pants, gloves and helmets. Like only on TV.... and only at a distance.... and if you squint.

We should get a poll going. That reverse retro jersey is straight garbage and one of the worst in the league

That should be the poll options
A) Straight Garbage
B) Worst in the League
C) Both

Suppose option D could be admitting to a lack of style or vision I suppose.

The horsehead jersey is über popular at the moment and they now have the black one as their official third. Pairing it with a red blasty or even white one would've been incredible, Minnesota flipped their white RR with green ones. They look great. More than one team went with white jerseys as well so you can't claim yellow is the only option.

The 2011 Heritage Classic jersey updated in white and red would've looked cool too. So many options, all better. Reverse Retro allows for a lot of creativity, and it seems the Flames lack it or dont listen.
A lot of fans like the pedestal ... seems like you just don't like them not catering to your specific tastes. The demand was significant.

They've already done the pedestal in red and white. Going back to either of those wouldn't have been "reverse" at all.

Nothing wrong with the Flames wearing black in the regular season. It's fine.

The pedestal is fine it’s the colour choices that are like a poorly done create a jersey option in a video game.

Edit: Nevermind I didn’t notice the ridiculous extra seam for the pedestal. I stick with my original reaction that someone’s child designed this

Nah. I have this weird opinion where once you win a cup you should just wear that uniform time immemorial and it will become its own classic over time.
