Flames unveil new Adidas uniforms

[Poe969]

They look like the exact same jersey. Some minor changes but still just very meh. The logo is too low. They need to be changed, I want retros but if we can't have those, we shouldn't be stuck with these.

I may be in the minority here, but I have liked these jerseys since the beginning. I think the 04 jerseys were far better and near perfect. But the one think I do say about these ones is that they are unique. No other club looks like them. You can't say that about other teams.

I am also in the minority in liking the Black and black C. I think it makes the jersey pop

Which is it? The exact same? Or minor changes?

For me at least, the minor changes were all improvements and considering the previous jersey needed to be improved I'd call that a small win. The names and numbers looks better, the bottom looks better, and the lacing design actually works on the jersey.

Complaints about stuff like the logo being too low, in my opinion, aren't going to be fixed by a switch to retro.

I think it pops more now that the piping is gone.

I want to see a black jersey with Red C like Stockton's thirds.

Retros as the actual jerseys and the black as a 3rd would be sweet

Like these? Barf!!!

[bigrangy]

Those first two are bad but the last one is getting into the "could be really nice with slme tweaks" category

I feel bad about my Burma/Myanmar comparison.


I wish our jerseys didn't have the flags, and I wish they had better numbers/letters.

It does look cleaner, and the fonts used are a welcome update after all these years, as well.

Sock changes should add to it too, assuming the rumours are legit.

FYP:

I asked John(n)y Hockey to meet your request. Results were...predictable...

Can we all make a promise to not buy Chinese jerseys this time? They look horrible. If you can't afford to save $150 to buy a real one that's your own fault. There's no excuse for buying these abominations.

No, because someone's going to argue:
- I'm just as much a fan for wearing the logo, I don't need to support them financially. Also a shirt with the logo is not good enough.
- counterfeits don't harm anything
- if they wanted me to buy them they wouldn't charge $350 for them
- Adidas is such ####y quality I'm not paying for it.

There's a guy on my block selling the adibas version outta his trunk for 80 bux, and it comes with a free mix cassette. I'll hook you up.

Quite the mark-up on those. You get them for as low as $14CDN here.

i came across some pics from the young stars tourney (from one of the local news webpages here in kelowna) - a bunch of flames pics.

i find i'm still very 'meh' about the new jerseys.

[SilverKast]

Are they selling the new jerseys anywhere yet? I'm curious to take a look at one in person and see how they fit/look.

I called the local jersey city to ask this exact question the other day. According to them, online stores will have them on the 16th, the retailers like JC, sportchek, source for sports, etc. Will have them starting the 22nd.

I assume the Fanattic should have them on the 15th if that's their release date. Hopefully?

Either way, If the first preseason game is on the 18th, then fanattic should have them by then for sure.

I just want to see if they've fixed the captain's C.
