I'm sorry, but putting a second number on the sleeve (for "Rocket" Richard) is one of the worst jersey concepts I've ever seen...
That's way too much gack on the sleeves IMHO

So the Flames logo is untouchable but you wouldn't be mad with that abomination? They are so disgusting they don't deserve to be quoted

Edit: FireItUp: any chance you can remove the photo links from your quote? Don't need this page of the thread to be vomit inducing like the previous one.

lol why even post that then? You wouldn't be mad? I'd be devastated. It would hurt more than when my wife left me I think.

EDIT: deleting the pics from the quote, because wow, that is just god awful stuff.

The Flames logo is perfect. Any change to it would be a downgrade.

There was a knockoff jersey at last night's game, you get a brief glimpse of it right after Engelland's goal if you watch the NHL.com or NHL app's highlight package.

Anyone get a screen grab of it? Was wildly different from anything I've ever seen.

I would become a Carolina Hurricanes fan in disgrace if they ever started using this logo. Holy #### that is horrible.

I figured it was something like that. I wouldn't like it if it was our primary, but I don't hate that jersey.

Stop posting that horrible logo. My eyes are bleeding!

The Flaming C is an iconic thing of beauty and should never be changed or replaced *cough* snot horse *cough*. In 100 years hockey fans will be debating if it is the greatest logo ever comparing to Chicago, Montreal and Detroit.

Does anyone know who we can credit for designing this glorious eye candy? I'm guessing Nelson Skalbania drew it on a cocktail napkin while playing backgammon and then handed it over to a local designer?

From Wiki:

Quote:
The Flames primary logo is the "Flaming C" design, introduced when the team came to Calgary in 1980, and was designed by a Calgarian graphic designer named Patricia Redditt

Yeah she's a good friend of mine's mother. She's awesome. Also crazy enough there were no other concepts that she made, this was the one and only. And this is way before photoshop days so she drew this out and rendered it herself. I know she based it off of an italicized font then drew the fire. Crazy. And my friend is one hell of a good graphic designer too, he made my last album cover that was insane
