2nd in from the left on the bottom row looks like the Soviet hammer and sickle.

That was for the outside chance Russia won the US election... appease the new neighbors to the south.

Just go back and read the thread after the cowboy jersey was released.

I think we need to give these another go, undefeated in them

Spoiler!

I want retros with shoulder patches, that are blasty and the CF logo retro-ized.

[Reaper]

I have a gut feeling that the fourth jersey will be similar to the Oilers' navy jerseys from this season. Black with red striping and either Blasty or the Flaming C in monochrome metallic red.

Yeah Dion’s custom Tkachuk (by bcchris?) is amazing.

I want full time retros home and away, and a Blasty 3rd with shoulder flags and a Scortch patch on the front

[Crown Royal]

Inspired by that gorgeous shoulder patch that was posted, I made a couple adjustments to the image I posted earlier. I have added a gold trim and a red background, as our shoulders on all retros are red. I also added a little more detail to the flames on blasty.

Blasty, Full retro set, and either a new alternative, or another retro inspired jersey ('11 Heritage Classic?) would be the perfect set.

I honestly can't believe they stuck with the whole jersey design from that terrible Reebok era.

A league wide Edge jersey dictatorship that I honestly think the Flames complied to, and then realized that other teams weren't when it was too late.

I truly think that the Flames were and are waiting to move into their new building to evolve out of the Reebok edge design, and obviously the plan was not have it take as long. I have some really old first hand knowledge of this and the reasons for the Edge design etc.

Offtopic, but if you could've asked owners and executives privately, their biggest regret over the past 15 years would've been not getting the arena deal done in 2006 or 2007 when plans were almost set and fairy far along the process. They delayed at then time due to many smaller factors; however, if they knew the upcoming massive change and role social media would play in shifting public and local government sentiment away from these projects, they would've quickly gotten past the barriers at the time and they would've been playing in a new building in 2012 or 2013.

Back to jerseys, in the meantime instead of revamping, they keep the design and they release the 3rd jersey in 2013 and retros to hold the club over.

Whatever is released in early October is another jersey part of the NHL 4th jersey program, with, as mentioned, some hybrid take on some old designs. So may well be the Snotnhorse. Or black jerseys. Regardless, likely the Flames probably don't get a newly designed primary set until the new arena. Sure, they may use the red and white retros in the meantime as a change to tide them over.
