I think these are fantastic. Exactly what I would want.

Gross & Walmartesque. Get rid of the black. They look like the 90's slanted bottom minus the slant.

Dude, crack first thing in the morning on Mother's Day? Those look nothing like the pedestal jerseys.

What are you talking about? The striping on the white is exactly the same as the pedestal jerseys and the red is very similar. The only major difference other than the pedestal itself on the white is the shoulder yolk doesn't extend down the sleeve.

Okay, let me break it down for you. The striping pattern isn't angled on either of the sleeves and the shoulder yoke (it's not an egg) has the old St. Louis Blues striping pattern. The Flames have used the same sleeve and sock stripes across a few different jerseys and I don't think I've ever heard of anyone saying they look like the pedestal jerseys. Also, the Calgary Flames have used the same shade of red for their entire existence (186). It has never changed.

You stated they look "nothing like" the pedestal jersey, that is simply false because as I pointed out the striping around the waist is the same. I certainly see the similarity between the two, it's really not that hard if you pull your head out of your ass. I also never said a thing about the shade of red, so I don't know what your point is in bringing it up.

Pull your own head out of your ass then as you certainly did bring up the shade of red. It was your second point of justification.

I was referring to the striping on the red jersey, not the shade of red.

The red is very similar? What else would you be referring to if not the shade? The fabric weave?

Considering I referred to the white jersey as "the white", it shouldn't be this difficult for you.

And as I said it was referring to the red jersey, ie the home jersey.

Totally different except for maybe the bottom striping.

I guess it's my fault that you can't be bothered to structure a sentence and use proper nouns. Weird.

Which is exactly what I was referring to. The striping being the same on the white jersey and similar on the red jersey is certainly makes saying they are "nothing like the pedestal jerseys" a false statement, that is quite a strong similarity.

I'm not perfect but I do have the ability to concisely convey thoughts and ideas in written word. Maybe start with that.

[TheScorpion]

Is this bickering really necessary?

[sun]

Can you guys get it over with and make out already?

I really like these ones. I think a little bit of black is needed. I like the black C, but even as an accent it is great

[playmaker]

The flaming C should be white. This is, in fact, not about personal preferences. It's all about contrast.

In a small scale or seen from a distance, a white logo on red will always be recognized as SOMETHING, mostly retaining its shape and brand identity. On the other hand, a black logo on red will be, well, a splash of black color on red. That's it and you a can't really do anything about it, especially in today's digital era.

Imagine the great Red Wings home uniform with a black logo and black stripes - no more explanation is needed.

Flames retro uniforms are almost perfect. The only downside is the yellow logo outline touching the white, making the white C look too thick and the red C too thin. Yellow and white will simply blend together into a yellowish white on a small scale, thus they should be IMO always separated.

Long story short, based on my observation and knowledge, this is the the optimal variation for the fantastic flaming C design:
