I still like the red.

But full time third jersey or next reverse retro for sure.

I'd love to never see another black jersey again. I think the Blasty jersey looks good on tv even though I'm not a fan.

I think the reverse retros are just awful.

I'd like to see a black version of the current reds though.

I don't like either Blasty or the reverse retros, and would prefer no black jerseys, but if they're going to go with anything black then a black version of the classic reds is what I would like to see.

Are there any renderings of this?

[TheScorpion]

Hmmmm. I almost feel like it might be better with white striping replacing the yellow ... but then I think you start to look like the Carolina Hurricanes.

[TheScorpion]

Oh wait. Nevermind. White and yellow striping on a black jersey? With a white logo?

That could be really cool. Wonder if you'd have any red on there as an accent colour.

I thought that the reverse retros looked good live. I’m probably biased since I was wearing one as well.

[1qqaaz]

I dislike it when the Flames take out the yellow on any of their designs.

There's a ton of red/white/black teams in the league.
The yellow is what makes the Flames the Flames (other than the red).

Actually good point. It's not the same as Chicago because we are introducing a new colour in black.

The Hawks could do a full inverse.

The Flames would have to have red in it I would think, but three colour striping (including black and white as colours) may make it busy

[TheScorpion]

I think you do white and yellow striping against the black to differentiate against Chicago and Carolina. White logo for sure, but maybe you put a red outline on it as well? It'd be very interesting to mock up.

As it is, I think the two black jerseys the Flames already have are nothing short of outstanding.

[Jordan!]

The reverse retros last night were the best looking on ice jersey the flames have ever worn. Imo.

Surpassed the 2004 reds imo.

Recency bias I guess. They’re just sharp as hell and the font is so good!

Here's my first attempt. Text looks busy but it's better than white with yellow outline alone.

Next reserve retro needs to be white or red blasty. Enough pretending there are some strict rules to this.

The jerseys looked much better on ice with the full uniform. Weird they're only wearing them four times, you'd figure they'd put them on for a post Christmas appearance since they'll be under the tree for some people, including myself. Sigh.

Don't forget Ottawa, or Vegas!

This is the perfect reason black jerseys should go away. There are too many that look alike already. It's just incredibly boring.

The RR font is top notch. My favorite part.

Also never been complimented for wearing a jersey at the dome. But the Iggi #24 was a huge hit.

True. I should have said they added more white and could have added a white stripe to match the pants when they took away the extra red. They had more red in the chevron striping for the original Blastys. Someone mocked it up with a white stripe added last year and it was way better imo. The pants striping doesn't match the new striping regardless. I don't know why the Flames designs often have striping that isn't standardized within the jersey and uniform.

But with the helmets, pants, glove and pants they look pretty sharp.

The team looks a lot bigger in the black as well.

Pretty sure I like them more as a change than loving them on their own, but not as gaudy as I expected them to be.

The good thing about the reverse retro ones is, they have red on the sleeves, this should help keep the “C” of red when they are worn by fans…

[TheScorpion]

I don't think we'll ever see Reverse Retro again after this year. It's an Adidas brand, there isn't currently another line planned, and Adidas isn't renewing its contract with the NHL.

My suggestion is to use the Red Flaming C on the jersey. 3 colours with the outline being white like on the Flames black media backdrop. Make the numbers 3 colours to match the Flaming C and make the names white on red.
