It looks dumb but I guarantee they'll sell a crap ton in Nashville. Fans are probably going to love it.

That Smashville jersey might be top 10 for worst jerseys in NHL history.

Do we not have the Blasty 3rd anymore?
I finally came around to it by the end of the season last year.

That was part of the Adidas Reverse Retro program, which was only for the 2020–21 season. Teams were not allowed to use their RR jerseys in 2021–22. The Flames only have two uniforms this season.

Blasty printed money for the Flames and there's nothing that would prevent them from using it as an alternate in 2022–23 and beyond.

If they printed money could we get a Blasty Jersey with sidewalks and solar panels so Murray Edwards can stop being such a ####?

I imagine they'll do something different within the colour palette. The whole Retro thang is...... getting a little.... old, no?

The original unis are back, they dabbled with a variation on the Blasty...

The Flames going full retro is an Edmonton thing to do. Bring black back and make new modern uni's or just bring back the 2004 design.

My Flames fandom dwindling can be pinpointed to the horrible flag designs. Bring back Blasty full speed on the shoulders and as alternate please.

…the retro set is the best jersey set and it’s not even close. The retro gear is on par with other classics around the league.

I love that the retro set is our standard. That should be the baseline. We never change from those being our normal set, and then cycle in 3rd/4th/5th/6th jerseys whenever you want but keep the retro set as the standard.

It’s not just Edmonton who went back to their “retro” set. Look at Pittsburgh, Toronto, the Islanders, Philadelphia and Buffalo to name a few. There’s a reason for that: those jerseys are amazing. Obviously not everyone is going to agree, but all those teams did a great job revitalizing their classic designs. The best part is that Edmonton managed to screw things up by introducing the pylon orange jersey and the hideous (IMO) dark blue jerseys.

How about a new design with the proper (aka “retro”) colour palette? Black had nearly three-decade run that was probably a couple of decades too long already.

Save the black for thirds, special occasions, and other gimmicks, but the original colour palette with a new design for the primaries has the potential to be amazing.
