Oh I agree. If anything, I think it's silly as having them as thirds because they either belong as our primaries or just our retros. Thirds, to me, are for new ideas and more interesting concepts. The retros are a classic, having them be relegated to a third jersey is kind of pointless.

Thanks for doing the work. They do have a slight style variation, but still very very close to being inverted versions of one another.
I still think the 5 looks a little funny, but I take larger issue with the wordmark/logo hybrid on the front.

Just need to crop the 5 a bit and it looks normal (ish)

The stripes on the bottom looks horrible, also seeing those concepts.. oh man. That could definitely be worse for Flames fans.

One issue I have with all the new reebok jerseys is why they feel the need to cram the crest so high up on the chest.
Move the logo down a couple of inches and you would have much better spacing to fit in the Captains badges.

It's not my cup of tea, but I thought the Winter Classic jersey was ugly and bought one just the same. Will be interesting to see how its sells.
I would trade all my jerseys for an '89 Gilmour though. That old jersey is the one that I have the fondest memories of.

Why would you buy something that you find to be ugly?

I would like to see a new poll done after the detroit game to compare numbers to. It sounds like there would be a little more even of a distribution. I am still in the no camp but I do like the cowboy shirt shaped shoulder bar. That is a nice western touch without beating you over the head with it.
I also always hope on thirds they go way off board. Its why I like things like the horse head. I didn't like the result of the horsehead jersey but I like the spirt behind it. This one is like they tried to be conventional and non offensive in every way.
By going way off board with the Retros it allows your main Jerseys to never change while still pusing jersey sales.

The Flames need to take a lesson from these clubs and realize they have a good story that doesn't need to be messed with. We don't need to start including "western" themes and fake heritage that was never there.
Btw, in my experience, people in "Marketing" always ruin everything. They are the people who aren't clever enough for Creative or smart enough for Business, yet always seem to think they can do both.

I love when Montreal went full cash grab during their 2 season, 100 year celebration. You know the owners, who understand the brand and know they can't touch it, jumped for joy at the opportunity to go buck wild and use any possible jersey and uniform they could.
Besides their normal home and away, here are the others they wore, in game, during those two seasons.

This for me as well. Just too old fashioned in a bad way.Take out the black shoulder treatment (leave the patch), maybe it would be better?

Aaaaaand that's what finally ruined them for me. I didn't like them on the EA leak, but they slowly grew on me - especially the new shoulder patch. I started liking the striping. Then I started seeing the new numbers and lettering, which after seeing for real, I quite like. But then they went and put a STUPID western style little 'v' in the front of the shoulder yoke. And then of course the front script logo - awful. It's like seeing your favorite meal in front of you, and then the rules are that you have to eat this bowl of vomit at the same time if you want it. SO FRUSTRATING!
The fan attic online store has a very clear view of the shoulder yoke western style awfulness:
