Remember when Iginla whooped his ass the first time he returned to the dome? Does he have a comment about that?

They kept the little speck of white on the pants (as they had it with the pedestal jerseys)

It would have tied in perfectly with a white line below the red/yellow on the stripes like in AC’s superior mock-up. Sigh.

Allegedly top 5 in sales among the new retros. So the decision to bring back Blasty probably went better than expected. I’m pretty indifferent as I think the red retros are the best in the NHL. But always good to have more choice.

Okay, somehow messed up adding an image. Not sure what I did wrong. Apologies.

It's like, how much more black could Blasty be and the answer is none. None more black.

When did hockey fans become so obsessed with fashion?

Since at least the days when you could only get a hockey sweater by writing a polite letter to M. Eaton in Toronto.

I was fairly apathetic to the jersey at first. I didn't hate it but didn't love it.

But after seeing this, I'm sold. This looks awesome.

I was a big supporter of bringing back BLASTY. And I gotta say, that after seeing a few different samples of the full set on players that they look better than I imagined they would!
Absolutely sick

I like the jersey, but I agree. Too similar.

I wish they would have at least chosen a different shade of red. Perhaps the shade on their classic jerseys.

A ton of teams use black, white and red.
The Flames are supposed to be slightly different because the red is more of a fire-red that than a deep red (and because they use yellow).

All the reds on the various Flames jerseys are apparently identical, outside of the 2011 Heritage Classic obviously.
