They both look like Walmart specialty jerseys.
I like them more than the maroon ones we wore vs Montreal in our first outdoor game though.

I see a clown face on the Oilers jersey when you get a blank one...
Spoiler for size

Super boring jerseys, yep. The striping and colours on the Flames one is bland enough, but more importantly the Flaming C is already a logo, and they put it inside another logo, basically. It makes the little Flaming C look goofy.
Xzibit would be proud.

Based on this, I'm not sure how the Flames jersey looks. It could be good... It could be bad... but beside that Oilers abomination it looks not too bad!

The Calgary jersey striping is typical of the period they are evoking. Something team managers would order of of the Eatons catalogue. You had a variety of colours, all with that striping.
The Calgary Flames word mark looks like it was drawn with a Leroy lettering kit.
Also, pants were canvas then.

Yeah, that totally looks like Adidas had surplus Red Wing jerseys and just put the Flames crest on it.

I like it for what it's trying to accomplish.
The Heritage game has always had a look back at old local unis and this one got it right in my opinion. (So this looks basic or like a Canadian Tire jersey is expected)
It doesn't replace or supplant their existing look, which is on point, but for the role this jersey is trying to fill, I think they nailed it.

Disagree on both these takes to be honest.
The Flames jersey looks really nice and actually looks like a really traditional hockey jersey in terms of the colors and striping pattern. Don't think it looks wal-mart quality at all (when I think of Walmart quality generally it's ugly busy striping and weird colors).
All Oilers jerseys look Wal-Mart quality - so no change there.
And I don't think the Flaming C within the circle makes it seem goofy. The Penguins, Blackhawks, Blues etc have all done it. Actually something not uncommon for the era of the 40/50s they are trying to represent here.
Think Adidas and the Flames did a good job here with what they were trying to achieve which was a Flames version of the old Stampeders hockey team jerseys.

These are Heritage Classic jersey's. Please refer to them appropriately as Woolco quality if that's how you feel.

Thin gold piping on the red stripes would've looked sharp, but all-in-all, that's a decent looking Calgary set. The crest is a bit practise jersey-esque, but as others have pointed out, its consistent with the era.

As it said, inspired by the Calgary Stampeders HC of the 50's and 60's... Similar but slightly different. I do not mind it at all.
Oilers could have done something with the 52 Olympics or the Maple Leaf in the logo to really make it worthy, the oil drop does not support the bannering.

I think there's enough yellow on the crest.

Awful. Oiler's jerseys are better than ours. I'm pretty much a lock to buy every Flames jersey on pre-sale as soon as they are announced, and this is the first I won't be buying.

I actually really like the Flames jersey. It's period appropriate for the look they're going for and I dig the simplicity of it. The little embellishments in the flames on the logo are pretty cool too.
The oilers one on the other hand.... if a dog puked on a dead raccoon then ate it and crapped the whole thing out in a steaming mess of diarrhea, it would look better than that God awful jersey.
