I just don't get that organization's current disdain for their primary colour. It's so strange.

Oilers are blue.

Flames are red.

Imagine if the Flames were working yellow into their go to colour over red?

Difference is of course that the Oilers did wear orange as a primary color for a few years in the WHA days and their whites were mostly orange trimmed too, and orange slowly got relegated to a trim color when they got to the NHL.

As has been mentioned before, story goes the owner in the WHA days hoped to get Gulf Canada Resources to sponsor them, and chose those colors, similar to Gulf's colors, to woo them. Gulf never did, but they kept the colors anyway. The genesis of that organization being NG.

I agree they are carrying the color too far (and they had different orange jerseys in back to back years for the last year at Rectal the a new version slightly altered jersey for the opening of the new building) and it's not visually pleasing, but it's hard to throw stones about tradition/branding/team color choices, even Edmonton, when the Flames went 3 seasons without a red jersey of any kind.

PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, two independent colors that highlight how different elements come together to support one another, best express the mood for Pantone Color of the Year 2021. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, the union of PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is one of strength and positivity. It is a story of color that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.
...
PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray is emblematic of solid and dependable elements which are everlasting and provide a firm foundation. The colors of pebbles on the beach and natural elements whose weathered appearance highlights an ability to stand the test of time, Ultimate Gray quietly assures, encouraging feelings of composure, steadiness and resilience.

Did I mention he is an Adonis?

I mean if a modern day Adonis is composed of melted cheese, adipose tissue and the ability to fart out of every orifice.

I’m sure that this “award” is based upon sales; we know why grey and black sold so much this year...litres and litres!

Surely there are environmental regulations about burning plastic, right? I wouldn't want to be standing next to that dumpster when the suitcase goes in.
