The Ken King Jersey Discussion Thread

[playmaker]

If the Flames decide to keep black on their uniforms, I hope the result will be similar to what Bastian Schmulling proposed a few years ago in his concept:

Spoiler!

The best thing about it is that yellow and red really stand out - something that helps to distinguish us from teams such as Devils or Senators.
The white logo helps to improve the overall contrast as well. I just made the slight modification to the Bastian's concept by adding the new Flames shoulder patch ...

Those are really sharp. The only thing I don't care for is the italicized font. Similarly to our current threads, I find it so NASCAR. I prefer the big, bold, block type letting of the retro set. Other than that though these are outstanding.

^^ Those are nice. I was rather indifferent to the white C, but those are sharp.
Seems clear that this board just wants to get rid of the piping, the flags and keep the lettering/numbering simple.
Do it, take my money, I am ready to retire the '04s.

This is unanimous

[Jordan!]

Black pants/red helmet is done already

[Dr. Pepper]

Wow - I'm not sure I've seen this concept before. Made even better by the addition of the new shoulder crest (really the only good thing to come out of the current 3rds - IMHO). Lots to like - as other posters have mentioned above. I would love to see these with a more traditional numbering / lettering font - with better outlining contrast, but other than that - yessssss. I know the Flames love the black C right now, but the red jersey with a black C would look good as a 3rd with this set. Hell - even keep the current 3rds for all I care if I get these as primary's. Beautiful.

I hope we get new thirds next year. Something totally different and new. But nothing to do with cowboys, horses or the old west please.

[N-E-B]

Kind of OT, but I got one of those new pedestal hats from the Fan-Attic for my birthday, and the more I look at the white C, the more I love it. The black looks sharp if used minimally. I'm all in favour of returning to the white C.

That looks like a worse version of the young guns era white jersey.

To me, that's a big step down from what we have currently and I think the Flames have one of the worst regular jerseys in the league.

I would much prefer the retros full time than that.

The white C needs some yellow around it.

Yes, for the white C the black they added to it was not just a matter of flipping colours around. The black used was a thin outline around the white with a larger swatch of yellow than used on the black C.

After seeing the World Cup jerseys yesterday I figured I couldn't do any worse so decided to throw together some ideas for new Flames threads next year. Hoping that we at least get rid of the piping and maybe even lose the flags and use our new secondary logo on the shoulders.

[Tyler]

Really like #1. Would probably like it ever more without the shoulder patches

The first and fifth ones are decent, but the rest are pretty garish.

[lazypucker]

#1 and #2 are nice for away and third jerseys. #3 is good for home too, but I would remove the white piping on the shoulders.

Needs to be sent to the Flames for approval and manufacturing for next year so they finally look like a real team.

[Harry Lime]

Enough with the subtle changes. White, black and red are all over the league. Option #2.

With red pants, red helmet, orange socks.

[N-E-B]

1 and 5 are awesome, my only concern is they're pretty much a rip-off of the Boston Bruins template. I'd also remove the shoulder patches or get rid of the black in them.

[Enoch Root]

I like #s 1 and 5 as well. #6 is an abomination though

[Scary Eloranta]

Forgot to add a black C version...
