Chicago is clearly ashamed of the cultural appropriation overflowing from their current branding. It's not as bad as the Washington NFL team but it's close.
The release video for their jersey today was comically edited to show the logo as little as possible. I think it appears for less than a second. In another shot, the model wearing the jersey has his arm over the face on the logo. And when the NHL tweeted out pictures of all the jerseys, they showed a picture of the back of Chicago's jersey... the only one to be displayed in that fashion.

White flaming C as the main crest and blasty on the shoulders, that would be a nice jersey.

A uniform with too many accolades. A Canadian who moved to Alberta to play many years for the Flames to become Captain of the team and make the all-star team.

My first thought was also Vancouver V piping .... why can’t our team get our jerseys right .... if you are old enough to remember it’s very obvious ... I wonder if the person who came up with flags for shoulder patches is the same person responsible for the Vancouver retro pipping on this jersey ... Jeebez .... another lost opportunity ....

The more I see this the better it looks. I'm actually very happy with how this turned out given how bad Flames jerseys have been since 2007.

St. Louis, New Jersey, NYR, and San Jose are my favorites. What's with none of the pictures clearly showing the Blackhawks logo? Really seems like we're not far from Chicago renaming the team completely with how little they're embracing the logo |
Lots of these are really, really nice. Even some of the lesser ones are more safe than bad. The Whalers and Wild are the two that stand out as ones I would buy just because they look nice. What is the Oilers fascination with Orange? It's always been a secondary color much like yellow on Flames jerseys but now it's become the dominant color.

I like most of them, even some like the Blues and Sabres which are rather ugly are at least in the spirit of the exercise. I was never a fan of the Blasty jersey in the first place so I'm rather meh on it.
1. Wild
2. Nordiques
3. Whalers
4. Kings
...
29. Toronto
30. Tampa
31. Vegas

I tend to agree. Wild and Kings seemed to have embraced the reverse retro the best. The Nordiques and Whaler jerseys are hard to fully accept for me. Those are cool because they always were great jerseys, but for a different city. I am not so sure they make sense for this exercise. Maybe it would have been better with the retro colours, but with a more current logo with the existing city.

I think more than anything this shows how polarized the jersey market is. You see jerseys that I think are incredible that people hate more than anything, and vice-versa. You clearly can't make everyone happy, so why not generate more revenue streams?
I LOVE Blasty but I wish that they had changed up the color scheme a bit; this looks more like a sweatshirt I would buy as opposed to a jersey. But whatever.
Pretend it's two years ago and the Flames said "We are going to go back to our classic "retro" jerseys as the full-time jersey, and a few times a year we'll use wacky Blasty to change things up." How many of you would be angry? Let's be grateful we now have some of the most beautiful everyday jerseys, and take Blasty for what he is.
A godlike beast of passion.

I love it. It’s cleaned up nicely. I would liked to see white on the bottom rather than black but it’s still looking very sharp.

Super ugly, perhaps second only to the Ronald McDonald jerseys in terms of eyesore. Reminiscent of a very bad time for the franchise, and then made worse by going “vintage Canucks”. We signed like half the Vancouver team, so I guess there’s that.
On the plus side, it looks demonic, so at least will piss off the Bible thumpers and Jesus freaks(again).

I think the full uniform is going to look really slick. I can’t wait.

Anyone ever come up with a logo where the horse's mane (side view of the horse head) is in the form of the flames of the C? Curious as to how that would look.

After digesting for 24 hours, I like the Flames jersey more. I think it's great and I even convinced the wife to let me buy one 
The clear cut #1 is Minnesota. Caps, Habs and Panthers with the next best.
Flames, Nordiques, Hawks, NJD and Kings a tier above everyone else. Buffalo really close to having one of the best, but the wordmark ruins it.

I feel it’s a bad jersey. Historically as well as the revival. I recall in the mid 2000’s they were on sale on the HockeyMonkey website for $4 (along with the Dallas Stars Mooterus). The shipping was more than the jersey.
They took that and made it worse.
Blasty is a good shoulder patch. This thing is awful.

Re: Islanders
I think the lack of effort on the reverse retro has to do with the organization having to embrace Lou Lamoriello's 'old-school' principles. If he wasn't around, I bet we're talking about how fancy the teal Fisherman sticks are or how classy the orange jerseys (in classic template of course!) are.
