I somewhat like those. They just look good. Vast improvement over some of the monstrosities in this thread.

While I don't want to see us go all black, I think having some black works to ground the uniforms, especially on the bottom of the jersey.

I think removing too much black could be detrimental.

I have this hoodie at home and think a jersey based on this would look good.

If there is one thing we do not need is a new logo. They can change anything they want except the logo and the primary color.

The logo should never, and will never be changed

IMO, the logo will live on in the NHL future as one of the most iconic and timeless of the logos. Chicago, Montreal, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, Colorado, Detroit, NJ and Calgary are all teams that will only ever slightly tweak their logo.

I agree..Look how well it turned out for the Islanders..All that tradition and they change their logo to that stupid captain highliner logo..It was brutal, lasted only a year or two then they switched back.l

13 pages of ideas and not one decent design. I don't want to be too harsh but man, they all suck IMO, sorry.

Our current jersey is awesome, the retro 3rd is awesome. My only request would be to have a white retro Jersey, Im sure we will see it someday.

Im sure glad none of you guys are doing design work for the Flames....

Edit: Ken King Please DO NOT read this thread. Sheesh

No one ever read any of Mike Vernon's posts. I'm sorry, not to be harsh - but they all suck IMO, sorry (except not really, because they suck).

Edit: Ken King, I like Giraffes and pickle pot pies. Sheesh.

I agree, the Flames have a great logo, changing it would be a huge mistake.

I don't think they all suck, but I don't think any of them are all that good, either. Goes to show just how difficult it is to design a jersey that can stand the test of time.

It's also pretty difficult when your muse on this is Flames. It is extremely difficult to not get something that is fugly just on the nature of the subject.

I don't want to see the Flames change the logo drastically like the Coyotes did back in 03-04. But I wouldn't be opposed to a slight modification.

If any team needs a new logo it's the Carolina Hurricanes.

Them, and the Sabres. They left a clean, impactful and significant logo for something they considered more modern... and they ultimately returned to their original style after enduring years of fan hate.

I can totally get behind, and get excited about tweaks and 3rd jerseys... but these teams have nailed their logos and trying to improve will only end in disaster.

The only 'iconic' teams I can see benefiting from a redesign are the Rangers (just permanently switch to the Liberty head already) and Toronto. Toronto being tougher, but a sans-serif font sitting on a Maple Leaf is hardly a perfect design.

Anywho... I digress...

Idea that was posted earlier... but I am really liking the Flyers Classic as Flames silks. Just a super quick colour and logo adjustment:
