This is the second season that the Calgary Flames jerseys have not had piping on them.

I think the Flames need to get back to the retros and have those be their main jerseys forever. It helps establish the brand, and then from there you can have one-off jerseys, or more experimental 3rd jerseys.

Fans demanding an Ol Blasty jersey? Hell, bring it back for a few nights one year. Sell a boatload, and everyone is happy.

Yeah, I love this. There could even be a 'modernization' in the future, but the brand looks a lot better in red/yellow/white IMO.

On special nights, I'd love to see the team try cowboy shoulders again, I definitely want to see blasty back, the black C will be around here and there, and I'd love to see a pedestal attempt again someday just for kicks. There's so much that can be done with "The Flames", but they just need to get the identity and primaries correct.

I think they can even have a heritage jersey too if I'm not mistaken?

Throwback red
Throwback white
Blasty
Cool new idea

2023 could be a good looking year!

On the logo popping more in black, to my eyes the contrast between the red and the C is much greater on the retro whites. You can also usually spot the retros in the stands, and it's a pretty clear 'C' when a Calgary retro pops up in a road game. The black C works out as a bit bland to me, and disappears in a sea of Senators or Devils fans.

I think where they differ is clarity and the yellow outline on the logo. ComixZone's Iggy avatar is a good example of how much the C stands out on the red jerseys, but the logo always seems a touch blurry. I'm sure we'll see some offset outline variations that will look as crisp as the black C does

This one's off to a good start:

I'd love to order one too if we have a t-shirt printer.

This dude did a redesign. I don't like the shape of the flaming C but I like the notion of black, yellow and white all there.

Spoiler!

I took some liberties on his quotes

[Otto-matic]

I actually just prefer the font without the logo.

You don't tug on supermans cape and you don't touch the Flames logo.

Look at this heretical bull#### right here.

[Locke]

Yeah, I dont think conventional designing wisdom would substantiate changing the iconic logo.

[getbak]

I went more player specific with the Mania logo...

No thank you!!!!!

[fanman]

I generally love checking out fan redesigns of the jerseys, but the flaming C logo is the one part that should never, under any circumstances, be tampered with.

Very happy to hear they'll be going with the retros, and I hope the rumors of a full time switch are true. The black jerseys should be saved for thirds. Oh, and no blue flags please. Can't wait for playoffs!

I've seen some love for it in here so I just wanted to counter by saying I hate the horse head logo. I hated it then and I still hate it now. There is something just off about all animal/human logos that are facing forward. Then you add in it is mostly yellow, the Flames look like tissues when blowing a nose, the mouth looks like the horse is happy when it is supposed to be angry per the eyes and nostrils, and finally the only good thing about it, the symmetry, is ruined by that flame on the forehead. I do not like this design at all.

Why do people like this? Surely it can't be the good memories of the teams that wore these jerseys? Do you all just want to watch the world burn?

It's not like I don't want change. I absolutely loved the shoulder patch logo on the recent word mark thirds. Using the sun in the west was very creative and this logo represents the Calgary Flames well. Give me this on a new third jersey or even a fresh take on the Flaming C. Just no horse head please or really anything with a horse or a "Western" theme at all.

I guess it could be worse. The horse is in a league above the all time ugliest logos like Captain Highliner, Buffaslug, Uterus Star, and the Oilers.

The atlanta "A" needs to be on there.

Can someone help tell me how to post photo's on here instead of linking a URL.

Hated the black horsehead jerseys. It was the '04 shoulder crest version that I liked. Just a terrible mistake putting the Alberta and Canadian flags on instead.

The black jerseys though, that's right up with there with that goofy looking redesign of the Flaming C. Hate when they screw with the logo.

I find black home jerseys in general stupid looking unless it's the Kings or Bruins.

The Lightnings current 3rd is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

I'm not saying to change the logo shape. Just the colour scheme.
