The 'Blasty' jersey is gorgeous. The Flames will look sharp as hell this year.

Just my opinion, but I don't understand why anyone would ignore the history of the franchise and where the Flames came from. They never changed the name. They embraced the flaming "A" for alternate captains. It does not have to be anything about Alberta.
I think a black version of the flaming "A" >>>> dusting off Blasty

Wow, the wild's is by far the best, that is a slick jersey. Like the Jets too. Also, anything Whalers is great
I do like blasty back, I regret selling mine to Newsboy from X929 when I was reducing my jersey collection.

Most of the new jerseys around the league look good. Some look really good.
Versions posted in this thread look better than what the Flames chose. The outlines are really odd. Seeing the logo, the captain's C and the numbers all with different outline colors looks off. This jersey is the one step back following the two steps forward of the move to full red and white retros.
Oh well, the red and white retros are still a great move.

I never liked Blasty, but I actually think the striping on this one is slick. Next year do this motif with the shoulder patch from the wordmark jerseys in white on the front instead of blasty and I think you have a really killer modern 3rd.

That logo definitely deserves some more use.

Those jerseys are a swing and a miss for me. Well, maybe a bunt and a miss really.
The black hems make it look like a black blasty cape is being worn over a black shirt.
I think these look like "university graduation jerseys", if that was a thing. Plus the logo looks too big.
Basically they're as good (or bad) as the original snot-horse jerseys.
Edit: the more I look at it, the more I notice details like the mismatched outlines around the numbers, captain's "C", and logo, and the more it gives the whole package a distinctly Wal-Martian or dodgy-tourist-shop kind of vibe.

i've never understood why the 'N' in TOROnTO is lower case 
and yea - that front logo looks massive!

If they were going to take the original and slightly change the stripes, then adding white was the way to go IMO. I think all 3 of these are better:
I also made the captain's C match the numbers with the yellow.

Don't be sour grapes.
We have the sacred retros as full time home and away jerseys. All Flames fans can agree this was the right move and we should be happy.
For limited one-off 3rds, they can go with anything and this time it's a reverse retro Blasty. There's obviously a segment of the fanbase that fell in love with them back in the day, and most of those people now have money. These will sell like mad.
I hope they continue to crank out modern/retro/mashup 3rds on a regular basis, and just leave the retros as they are, full time.
