I was doubtful of the Flames doing the right thing. I remember that one season they heavily marketed the retros but came out with the current home/away setup.

Playoffs are going to look mighty sexy with the retros.

"These things take time"

Really??? We've had the same jerseys since 07. Toronto gets two new third jerseys a year.....

Our fanbase would buy a new look alternate every year or two as well. You'd think management would clue into how major of a cash cow that would be by now.

Nice. Bring back the 2004 design without the weird RBK piping and flags as the 3rd

They should just make the retros permanent (home AND away), end of discussion.

Someone should ask him about the shoulder patch from the 2013 word mark jerseys. Terrible jerseys but that patch was fantastic. Would love to see it on some gear, hats etc.

Sooo....

2019/2020:

Current Home Jersey
Current Away Jersey
Retro Home Jersey
Heritage Classic introduces Retro Away Jersey, which then gets used a few more times that season.

2020/2021:

Retro Home Jersey
Retro Away Jersey

2021/2022:

Retro Home Jersey
Retro Away Jersey
NEW 3rd jersey

I would dig it if it played out that way.

Makes sense. Weren't all the clinch tweets done with the retros?

Such a good call.

There must be someone important in the organization that really loves the regular jerseys as I am at a loss to why they are still using them. They are so past their expiry date that I'm surprised they still sell in decent numbers.
