This is fair, and it's not the current group's fault that the NHL has pushed reverse retros while the Flames have a history with such ugly jerseys in it.

Well, from the T-shirt leak a month or so ago, it’s all but confirmed to be a black jersey with a white C. Just depends if it’s pedestal or not.

If it is a pedestal, it will compete well with the Oilers Macfarline mechano-sperm jersey, now featuring orange sperm and trim lines that look like a safety vest, for the worst jersey of the RR program this year.




Though I am sure there will be again some uninspired ones like the Leafs and Wings did last year.

T-shirts were leaked for the RR program that gives a glimpse into the logos and colors likely to be used.

I can't recall ever having seen that Sharks logo before.

It isnt, it is the font of the California Golden Seals…my guess their RR will be California Golden Seals unis or at least colors but with “Sharks” instead of “Seals”.




Wild look to be doing the NorthStars recolouring again, but probably as a green jersey this year, not white like last year.

Other teams seem to be a lot more creative then the Flames with this program who lazily and now uselessly just dusted off Blasty as a RR (and nothing was reversed - could’ve made it white or red) last year, only to make the same jersey a full time alternate this year.

Jury is out on this year, looks to be a simple recolour of an old jersey, which is a half step forward, but how about think a bit out of the box as other teams do? Do something different with the pedestal lines. Or, like the Sharks, recolor the WHA Cowboys jerseys.

It’s styled like the California Golden Seals.

Easily better than the Ronald McDonald jersey and the calgary script alternate.

As long as the team is good I could care less which second or third jerseys they wear for a few games of the year. None of them are that offensive and aren't the reverse retros supposed to be kind of dumb anyway?

Yeah, when you look at the group from 2 years ago, most of them are horribad. We lucked out getting one of the few decent ones.

If I were ranking them, I'd probably put Vancouver's blue-green gradient in my top-5, which tells you how bad the majority were.

Reverse retros? I thought the majority were actually really cool. Vancouver's blue green gradient was awful, easily in the bottom 5.

Look through that list. Literally the only bad ones were Vancouver, Toronto, Stars (cause they blew it and didn't add a different colour under the star) Jets and Wings. Everything else was neat at worst and really cool at best.

Yeah, looking at them again, they're even worse than I remember.

Calgary and the two New York teams are the only ones that aren't just awful and it's not surprising they're the ones that they made the least changes to from a real uniform the teams have worn.

Objectively wrong.

I really liked the last reverse retro. Lots of great colours and take on old classic jerseys.
