The collar is a match with every one of the new Adidas jerseys. Big surprise, it's a new Adidas jersey.

A team whose brand is essentially the colour red is not going to release a black third jersey. That's why the heritage classic was also burgundy and yellow rather than the black and yellow of the original tigers jersey.

That teaser is definitely red and yellow.

If that's what they go with, it'll remind me of when the Sabres finally listened to their fans and went back to blue and gold but then came up with this:

I'm talking about the white band at the top of the collar matching that t-shirt. Hopefully it's just a coincidence.

In my universe the black horse head jerseys indeed existed.

The Flames did release a black third jersey back in 1998.

Stockton did a couple years ago too.

I know a lot of people hated that jersey, but I freaking loved it. Heck, that jersey was part of the reason why I became a Flames fan in the first place.

The snot jerseys are great for the same reasons the Duck's eggplant jersey and the Coyote's kachina jersey are great.

They are fun, unique, and a little out there. Exactly what an alternate jersey should be.

With that being said, I will only welcome it back if we get redesigned home and away jerseys because I think our current set up is awful.

Would the Flames really just copy the Jets third jersey, except in Flames red?



####, of course they would.

I was too young to ever see the horse head jerseys in person or on TV, so I’d really like to see them. But I definitely won’t complain if it’s retro jerseys, they really should be our primary jerseys

Man I wish they would roll with the retros as a 3rd and then the Black uni as a throwback a few home games a year

I don't have a lot of confidence in the Flames' ability to create something visually appealing. They haven't had a hit since 2003/04, with the exception of the retros, which I don't give them credit for.

If they need to use the thirds to get all of the flags, grey, black, script/wordmarks, and other nonsense etc. out of their system, then I'm all for it. As long as that paves the way for a beautiful set of primary home and away jerseys using the team's original colour palette with no gimmicks, flags, or 1990's black.

But they'll probably screw both up. Prove me wrong, Ken King.

They already used the Tigers for the outdoor game. Broncos never had a logo, and the Wranglers logo was pretty bad.
...and Jimmy Bruce watches over them all.

Ha, the striping/pattern on that isn't correct and is actually a lot nicer than the mess they did come out with:
