There's an exclusivity thing around the RR program, and, the league and teams want to make money off this.
For the first week or so after R1 in 2004, there were no red Flames.jerseys to purchase locally until they shipped more and the factory pumped out more (which were all CCM, where the usual home jerseys were Koho branded).
Point being, a very large amount of Flames fans and Calgarians,.casual fans and otherwise, picked up a jersey then during the run and still have it now. For other teams bringing back a 2004 jersey may seem retro but the Flames won't sell a bunch because mant Flames fans still have that jersey.
You could do a reverse retro of that jersey and make it black (and a white C) but then you'd effectively have the Horsehead jersey with a white C.
