Boy, wouldn't it be awkward then if Calgary picks, say, Jean-Luc Foudy at pick 19 and the NHL didn't deem him likely enough to merit receiving the jerseys.

Those are the risks I suppose.

They can also ask the kid to stand still while they digitally make a jersey appear on him through the miracle of modern technology sponsored by NHL 21

I’m not sure why they need some unveiling for the jersey? Aren’t they just going full time retro? The same retro jersey they have been using for a bunch of games over the last couple of seasons. Hell they wanted to wear the retros for the bubble playoffs.

For me you make some grand unveiling if you are completely changing the look of a jersey. I’m not sure they are changing anything.

Icethetics has information that all teams are unveiling some type of third/fourth jersey this coming season - so it is entirely reasonable to think that it may not just be the retros.

@The Scorpion

Along the lines of Cecil’s question, is the process different (is there a lower bar) for bringing back designs that were previously used, vs. introducing a whole new design? Fewer hurdles / different criteria / grandfathering ?

How do they evaluate overall fan / customer response to a jersey design?
(The thinking here is that you have a fairly small number of passionate fans here, likely an echo chamber, and some people expressing an opinion that I personally view as really out there, such as jersey designs being a big middle finger to the fan base. Even some of your questions like ‘why they kept the flags so long’ - I wonder if that is an issue of concern among the general fan base)

I get it if you don’t want to address those above. So I will ask you to consider the following:

With the chosen logo on the front, how many points will that add to speed?
Will they use G-drive shoulder straps? If not, what is the alternative technology and how many points will be added to power?
(Anticipating that the above answers will be no...)
Do NHL rules even allow for the use of Avangard technology, or would it provide an unfair advantage?

And are these guys going to be filmed from their living rooms?

I'm very curious to see how it all plays out with Ottawa and Calgary both unveiling new uniform sets on the eve of the draft. I'm honestly curious to see how the whole draft works.
Snapchat filters that put the drafted teams jersey on the player obviously

Will you include a post-it note that says "please light on fire, place on doorstep and extinguish by stomping."

You should definitely ask him about the Avangard jersey reveal and his thoughts on it. That was so terrible it was brilliant.

I think people might be expecting too much from this unveiling.

Remember, this was the "unveiling" for the Heritage Classic jerseys last year: https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/heri...ed/c-309105068

A short video and a few photos. I wouldn't expect much more from this year's unveiling.

Pfft. When have the Flames ever left people underwhelmed after a press conference before?

I don't believe it.

It's exactly what I wanted. Therefore it won't come true.
