That is absolutely hilarious! I would laugh every time I see that logo on our jersey, lol.

I don't know why I find it absolutely hilarious to look at.

And Chinese Democracy will probably sound better than the jersey looks.

Great, now all I do is laugh when I see it too.

The lower part is way too blocky and wide. After looking at it for the first time since I made and posted it, I thinks it's beyond hideous

It's better than Chinese Democracy though...

It's pretty much on par, if it makes you feel any better.

Can someone do a concept with the black C on the retros? Maybe throw in some black trim? I would like to see what that looks like. Much appreciated

I think the key question regarding the jersey design for the Flames is whether to keep black. It was introduced, as far as I remember in mid 90s and there were some rumours at the time about the black color being associated with more aggression.
I remember former Flames assistant coach Slavomir Lener saying that in 90s some NHL teams (notably Minnesota, New Jersey and Calgary) added black color to their uniforms just because of this factor. Some recent studies tend to confirm this e.g.

http://spp.sagepub.com/content/early...18535.abstract

Regardless of the truthfulness of that speculations (not to mention the fact that tough players like McGrattan will kick opponent's asses even if dressed in pink pajamas), I'd personally keep black (for me it makes jerseys look sharper), but make it less dominant (compared to our current home uniforms). Here are two proposals with the old-school stripping (edited in hurry)

I actually really like that do up. If be curious to see what black lettering (and maybe a black C on the home) looks like, but even as is, I really like that mock up. Good job!

thanks for the review, I will perhaps rework it using better jersey template and more precise photoshopping

Lol. There is no feel invovled. The design wasn't even mine.

Maybe I should take the time to make my own mockup though. I could use another piece for my portfolio. I've got a good idea for the general taste here..
