Sport Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 dark red and yellow is my ideal Flames color scheme. \These jerseys got the color scheme right. Dark red pants and stripes that matched their 70's/80's look would look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Dweller Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Honestly they're called the Flames, can a couple teams not have some bright and vibrant color schemes to contrast all the overly darkened ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 ^ I still dislike that jersey because its too garish. It looks like something Ronald McDonald would wear.However if they darkened the colors and added a bit of black trim it would be pretty sweet.Does anyone know why the Flames randomly wore them last night? Was it a retro night?Dark red AND black? Srsly?That's what the 49ers did, except they used actual gold rather than yellow. They took a vibrant color scheme, crammed in black and darkened the red, and it made overall look dreary. I wouldn't be opposed to the Flames keeping black as a trim color, but the red needs to stay roughly the same. By that I mean it can be darkened a tiny bit so that it's not so eye-searing on TV, but not enough where it looks noticeably different if you're not holding an old and new jersey next to each other.

Tigers6884 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Those jerseys didn't get anything rightThey did get the level of ugliness right to be able to be easily be counterfeited and sold online by Chinese knockoff websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This is a solid, solid look. Bring back the away version and let this be your full time look. No BFBS, no odd apron strings or blue Alberta patches or Canadian flags, etc. You know, I used to dislike that uniform. I thought it was a bit too bright and that it would be terrible as the primary set. But now that I look at it again, I've done a complete 180, and I actually want to see it as the main look now. Maybe add the shoulder patch from the third jersey, but leave everything else as is.+1That is a spectacular uniform and a welcome change from the current mess. That being said, I think they should design a new road jersey that more closely resembles the red. I never liked how the striping of the cup winning set didn't match... Thank god they won in the vastly superior reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhero34 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 the flames retros need a touch of black to eliminate the colour bleeding and maybe a shoulder patch and it would look great. The current set relies to heavily on the black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Speaking as somewhat of a Pens fan...I HATE those unis. Way too much Yellow/Gold/Athletic Gold/Saffron. I feel that the Pens should be a Black and White team, with Yellow or Vegas Gold as an accent color.I wouldn't say I'd relegate Pittsburgh Gold to accent status, but I do think that white and yellow should have just about equal play. Thick white hem stripes and white numbers on black, black stripes and upper sleeves predominant on the whites instead of yellow, that sort of thing. The Flames should continue to use black, but only to set off yellow from white on an approximation of the 1980-1994 uniforms. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Do you recall where you heard the rumor about the Pens ditching this season's alternate jersey? I have family in the area, and I'm hearing the complete opposite. Those jerseys have been so popular, there's been talk about that set replacing the regular home uniform, and the team bringing back the white uniform from that era for the new road jersey on a full time basis. Even before this season, those black retro jerseys were a popular reminder of the back to back Cup Champs. Somewhere on these boards, I heard they were ditching them because of a losing record and that it was Crosby's call. That coupled with their annoying habit of changing alternates every two years, while doing nothing to fix their full time monstrosities.Yeah, cause if the Penguins went full-time retro, they'd do worse than buffalo.

habsfan1 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I think the Avs could bring out a mountain pattern jersey as their 3rd. Just because their home and roads aren't changing for now doesn't mean the mountain pattern possibility is dead.Could be just a test to see if more people other than us like the old jersey.This is a solid, solid look. Bring back the away version and let this be your full time look. No BFBS, no odd apron strings or blue Alberta patches or Canadian flags, etc. Link doesn't work.

The hem stripes and the shoulder yoke. As I said earlier, model the white after the red and you have a great looking, consistent set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm all for bright colors over faster, meaner, darker sets, but there's still something about Calgary's red jersey that's a little bit too much even for me. I think it would look better if they used less white: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 That's even worse than what it was originally. It's an awful, dated set. Why some of you fetishize that uniform is completely beyond me. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why some of you fetishize that uniform is completely beyond me.Because it's literally perfect for a team called the Flames. Not every team has to dress in black or navy.

pepis21 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Definitely Pens should get rid of Vegas Gold for classic Gold and maybe add Yellow alternate with Robo-Pen based on their home jersey from 1992-2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
