Flames fans would want to cut ties with the 1998 era Flames as well.

IMO, I see the Avs, Canes and Wild as using those old team's colors, but overall you'll still see the Avs Canes and Wild logos and thus the overall look will be of the current team.

Fleur de lis and the cartoon whale are nice touches (and I expect to see the N for North Stars on the shoulder of the.Wild) but again, I think when you look at the jersey in the end it will mostly be "Hey that's a Carolina Hurricanes jersey that is colored like the Whalers" rather then, "That's a Whalers jersey that Carolina is wearing", IMO.

If you look at the collars of the jerseys they have the year that each team is representing with their reverse retro.

Calgary is 98 so should be blasty

This may be obvious or someone might have pointed it out already and sorry if done. But the numbers would give you an idea of the era of each jersey

Isles for example is in the 80s so no fish sticks

Yeah, I would be completely shocked if it wasn't a blasty jersey due to Lucic's comment and it being based off of a 98 jersey . I was only kidding around, but I guess it was just funny to me

Islanders have Lamoreillo in charge, their reverse retros will probably be identical to their normal jerseys.

You're likely close to the truth.


Here's their preview image...



The difference between this and their normal jersey is that it has the white stripe above the orange stripe...




The jerseys they wore during their Cup years also had the white strip above the orange...





That very well may be as retro as Lou let them go.

Agreed. It's too bad it obviously wont be the main logo, although it does feature nicely as a shoulder patch.

Way nicer than the black/silver/red version. Their blue/yellow/white colour scheme is nice. It's a shame the Hasek era of the Sabres will always be associated with the black jerseys.

I just don't get how the Flames can call this a reverse of something when all signs are pointing to it being the same jersey with only the C logo on the shoulder reversed.

Seems like the Calgary Flames thing to do.

Maybe they’ve changed the colour scheme of blasty?

Also sounds like the jerseys won't be going on sale until December 1, although you'll be able to pre-order them as soon as they're unveiled tomorrow.

I remember Iggy going roof daddy on Jocelyn Thibault to score his 50th goal in 02. Blasty had the best seat in the house for that goal. Hopefully Blasty gets to see another Flame score his 50th.

Lets hope it doesnt take 6 years for the Flames to next make the playoffs like it did the last time they started using Blasty.

Sending Blasty out to pasture was the reason the team made the playoffs.

Resurrecting the abomination will only anger the hockey gods.
