They could do what Vancouver did previously and sell them for $550 in limited quantities...
But do get why NHL didn't like the bad optics of that too as people complained about the price.

I actually don't disagree that the government was a little harsh on them in retrospect, knowing how it all played out. But no one had that foresight then.
What I have no empathy for is people still playing the victim card well after the world has returned to normal, or wearing it like a badge of honour.
Get on with your life like every one else has and mend those relationships with your friends and families. If you're letting a past event still divide you from your neighbours, then that's on you. Time to get reconnected with reality.
Feeling fearful and distrusting? Seek help for that.

Ah, so instead of one jersey you were able to afford 3 dome beers?

I am pretty sure it's been said before about the indigenous jerseys and not being able to sell them to the public, but it's an NHL thing he Flames are not allowed because of the NHL. The particulars of it, I don't know, I just remember reading that somewhere.
The proceeds from the auction are going to charity and you know you're getting a one of a kind...the original. If I had money to burn I would try to get one knowing those 2 things.

The Canucks have their pride night tomorrow. I wish the Flames had a extra set of their jerseys. It would be awesome to see both teams wearing their pride jerseys in warmup.

Weren't some people saying that the Flames weren't allowed to sell their pride related stuff? Why are the Canucks able to sell their merch with proceeds going to You Can Play?
I'd love to buy a Flames pride hat or shirt if it meant the proceeds went to charity.
Also, the Canucks logo is better than the Flames one, even if I liked the Flames one.

they can't sell the jerseys, but they can sell other merch. I expect it to be up soon. The CGY Team Store has merch from the Indigenous Celebration.

The Canucks do both the auction for the player jerseys and then separately sell a certain number of fresh ones. I remember last year's being a hit, this one is fine. I think I like the Flames one better.

I also added a caveat, but I do generally think their logo is solid, but as we say V=NG

We will see how far this initiative will go next year. The vast majority of players participated, several teams canceled the event and some teams "decisions" that resulted in everybody wearing them were all part of it in 2023.
The new NHLPA head had some interesting tidbits on the matter on this weeks piece from Elliot Friedman.
"He walked the line on players wearing Pride jerseys, saying, “The LGBTQ community shouldn't feel hockey players are turning their back on (them),” while adding, “If a player doesn’t want to wear a jersey in warmup, they shouldn't be forced to.”
Although he correctly pointed out a “supermajority” of the players are wearing them, the controversy over the few who haven’t and teams that made decisions for their rosters led commissioner Gary Bettman to suggest it’s something that will have to be evaluated in the offseason.
Does Walsh believe any jerseys should be mandatory?
“I want to talk to players about that," he said. "See how they feel ... and then with the league as well.”
As for the idea that any player who misses warmup shouldn’t be able to play, Walsh wouldn’t go there: “No, I don’t think that should be the case at all.”
It’s fair to wonder if more online “culture war” topics will spill into hockey. As former mayor of Boston and U.S. Secretary of Labor, Walsh recognizes that no matter what he says, people are going to dislike it. But, “As far as the game of hockey, it’s important that we are inclusive. People know they are welcome to be part of the game, we want them to be part of this game. Social media is going to be social media, people are going to use (their) platform to say whatever they want, and that’s fine. But I do think it’s important for us to be an inclusive game.”
My take is that the NHL will need to figure out where the player's actual position on this is and go from there with adjustments. They don't want the bad press or additional concerns being raised. Different dynamics at play and it isn't as simple as some people would like to think. I have no doubt that the majority of players are in favor but there is going to be people who feel different and or have their own personal limits.

The Rogers logo (elastic band like thing) had the colors, but the wordmark did not.
