Neither yet. I can tell you that’s the day it will go on sale though. And it is a retro orange.

What's retro orange? Is this a new colour scheme altogether?

Not sure. Just passing along the info I have. Wording wasn’t great, sorry. Just know that it will be an orange similar to the previous retro jersey.

Yeah the red on the last retro is the exact shade they use on the regular set. Same with the yellow. Same colour scheme just no black

Call it whatever you want then. It was described to me as an orangy red, and the swatch is very orange to me, but I am colourblind. Just trying to pass along the info I have.

And the zipper merge is the most effective way to keep traffic flowing.

All CP users should know these two rules by now.

Gotcha, was just legitimately worried the Flames could introduce an Oiler-orange jersey and think it was a good idea.

It is interesting how much different red can look, orangey, if you will, when the accompanying accent trim is brighter yellow and white, and sans any black elements.

So a full retro, or do they do a twist on retro, keeping the retro color scheme but maybe changing up the striping pattern and or the name and number fonts?

I can't believe over 10 years later we still have those flags. It's baffling. Nobody among the higher ups can see they look horrible? Really?

That lines up with the date haiku suggested, which of course can only mean one thing.

Boomer is haiku.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was a temporary logo, but I can't find a reference anywhere so I'm not sure if my mind made that up (a la Shutter Island) as a coping mechanism to deal with such a horrendous aesthetic.
