Rumor: Flames to Have New 3rd Jersey Next Year

I'm not sure exactly how many games the name was black-on-red, but I think that's how it happened. Maybe someone else can remember better?

Regardless, I do agree that the name and number should both match on this latest example. Just make it red text and that's a pretty nice shirt.

Black logo on front, black numbers, black namebar, fit the theme and look like they wanted to complete both the jersey and the uniform. Putting white on there threw the whole design off.

It looked really good, and for the first month or two after the change, the Fan Attic would still do the black letters if you requested.

When the Flames changed their jerseys in 2007, they should've gone at least to white numbers to match the name.

According to Getty Images, The Flames had it on for the Nov 22 2003 win vs Chicago, but on December 2 vs SJ, the name bar was white. They played 2 games in between there at home, so it basically lasted for just over a month of the season.

Not bad at all. Very clean, and I like how the design and colors pop on the white jersey. The red reminds me a bit of the old Panthers jerseys; I'd be curious to see what a black logo/numbers would look like.

Still unlikely that those are the the new jerseys but the designer has been mysteriously absent since the unveiling... too busy giving input on design production and sworn to secrecy?!

There is a white version too. The 'singed white' (I went there) is more of a dream, the white is more realistic. The crisp white does look pretty good still.

And I wish I was involved in the Flames design! Would be a career dream come true!

Rather go back to original red gold and white, but I could live with the uniform above, kills the current joke the Flames wear.

my post from 'ken king please read' thread, I think its more appropriate here ...

I'd say the third black jersey should be in a similar style, perhaps introducing a cowboy theme in our alternate logo. This is the clipart I found at rivalart and my quick edited proposal for the third uniform. Note the clipart is not mine and far from being suitable for the logo (it's here just to carry the idea a bit further)

LOL...that is horrible. Minor league stuff...like Peewee minor

[Rhettzky]

Well at least it's not the worst cowboy hockey themed jersey I have ever seen...

I absolutely hate the "cartoon" logos. The best ones are the simple and understated. Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, all great examples of fantastic logo's.

Florida, San Jose, stuff like that, just no thank you. (IMO the horse fell into this category too, was never a fan).

^ Perfect example of that was turning Ottawa's great logo into a 3D cartoon.

HAVE YOU SEEN IT? TELL US MORE.

We already had word of the Calgary text, and the fact it was coming early November, but it being red is.... positive.

[iggyformayor]

I haven't seen it unfortunately, but it will be first worn by the team in early November and then will go on sale about a week after.

Can think of anyway this won't be terrible

[iggyformayor]

Yeah I wasn't thrilled when I was told... It also means another 3 years before we'll see another one.

[_Q_]

Well, hopefully it's not as terrible as it sounds, because it sounds terribly bad.
