I agree with the shoulder patches. That blue on red was so goddamn tacky it always bugged the hell outta me.

I've never understood the mcdonalds comparison.
Our regular retros look way more like mcdonalds than the heritage jerseys did. It makes no sense.

For me it was the clearly knock-off Heritage jerseys that reminded me of Ronald Mcdonald

I don't understand it either. Ronald McDonald wears red and white stripes with yellow overalls, it's nothing like the heritage jersey. Besides pretty much every team in the league shares their colours with a major brand, it's not a big deal. That said the current Flames jerseys make me think of Lego.
I'm not a big fan of the heritage jerseys though, there is something not quite right about them. I think it is a combination of:
1. Another "jersey by committee" trying to combine the Flames and Tigers looks.
2. The Flames already had a great retro jersey which was worn against Montreal in 2 Stanley Cups.
3. Other outdoor games had great jerseys, these are just meh in comparison.

All I can get

I think the new design will be cleaner and less busy. I do think there'll be some vertical Adidas three stripes incorporated somewhere.

The fake knock off heritage classic jerseys using the retro red/yellow that came out before the real ones did is where the McDonalds look came from. They botched the roll out by revealing the design before they had jerseys to sell
So the knock off companies screwed them all up.
The actual Jeresies looked fantastic.
We really have had 2 good Jerseys which worked well for their time. The retros and the 03-07. Black is getting tires so time to move away from it so something retroish is the way to go.
For a third jersey I liked the Horsehead. That is what a third jersey should be. Try out different stuff and see what it looks like. I think a Black on Black jersey with a black C with just red and yellow piping around the C would be pretty slick for a third. Or do something else that is out there like Yellow as the main colour. Keep the the regular uniforms modifications around a classic theme then each year push an ultra modern third of which some will be terrible and some will be cools

I don't think most people under 30 know who ronald mcdonald is... Maybe older. I haven't seen him on tv since the 80s. If the flames are taking heat for looking like him its a pretty dated reference. Not that I think those jerseys should come back anyway.

The 2003-2007 jerseys are nice and easily the 2nd best ever. Unfortunately they have one glaring ugly flaw that prevented me from ever buying one:

The Flaming Snot Horsehead logo was perfectly fine as a shoulder patch. For me, the only flaw of the 2003-2007 jerseys was the font used for name and numbers.

It is a stupid, ugly logo no matter what part of the jersey it is on. The fact it is described as flaming snot should be enough evidence of that. The creation of that gross monstrosity is a very dark part of Flames history.

I completely disagree, I love the horse head logo. I know many don't but it is definitely not a "dark part of Flames history". I still have my sweet black horse head third Jersey and rock it at least once a year.

I'm surprised at the love for the horse head. I thought it was almost universally hated but clearly I was wrong. I'm willing to admit it was at least the best third jersey in Flames history though.

The only Flames Jerseys that I really liked when they came out besides our originals were the 94/95 Jerseys as well as the 03/04 Jerseys. Everything else has been a dissapointment.

They've only had three jersey designs, you said you liked two of them and hated the rest.
