I don't mind a bit of black either - it makes the colors pop more to my eye. I'd be cool with some black highlights to the yellow flame.

Yes, you are correct.

You mean something like this:

Maybe the 04 ones but the current ones with the vertical stripes and flags are just ugly.

Haha. No. I don't need a whole outline - just some black stuff like real flames. And I don't even need a white C - all yellow, with some black would do. And I don't need a pedestal.

Wouldn't mind Newy though.

the webpage i linked to is a jersey manufacturer - they make their own jerseys, mostly based on nhl team designs - so it nothing 'official'. i just find it interesting that they are dropping the reebok style 'piping' jerseys.

This is going to be slightly off topic; This is good news and all, but someone needs to tell Adidas that made in Indonesia jerseys are not authentic. Make a retail Made in Canada version please! Reeboks had made in Canada authetic variant that you could buy without having to buy a gameworn Jersey for an insane amount of money.

More on the above note: I have both a made in Indonesia Adizero (Indozero) and a made in Canada gameworn Adizero by Matt Stajan in 2017-2018. The difference in quality is staggering. It's not even close to the same material. Yet, most fans do not know the difference.

Retro Red = the right decision. Make it a full time thing, yesterday.

Bringing back Retro White? The second that happens, I'm buying a jersey. The best jersey in franchise history, IMO.

Edit:

What I'd really like to see them do is a Blue Jays-esque re-imagination of the retro look. Bring back the old colors and modernize. That would be perfect.

Blatant false advertising IMO. Not sure how they can get away with it. They're basically the old Premiers with a crudely sewn fight strap.

I've heard the Canucks sell MiC authentics but I think they're the only team.

Yeah if I had to guess I would have said the Flames stopped wearing the black horsehead jerseys in 2004.

Looks like 05-06 was the last year, so as a result another odd player/jersey combo to me:

The flames store online has a section where you can call in to buy select gameworn jerseys. I picked Stajan because his was cheap ($300) and he scored the last series winner for the franchise. It is awesome.

I'll never forget thePower ring lighting up for the first time ever to this song, game 3 against the Canucks in '04.

It was an amazing start of the most beautiful 2 months of my hockey fandom.

I want to see the red retros, but with a shoulder crest depicting Scorch.

How has the year gone for Flames fans?

1) #1 in the Pacific and WC with 10 to go.
2) Forever a Flame program to be axed.
3) Retro red jerseys for playoffs!
4) #12 to the rafters
5) E=NG

Pretty well so far, I'd say.
