VancouverFan69 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 22 minutes ago, Chromatic said: One of the things I enjoy most about Canucks-Flames games is the contrast between the red and yellow hot colours and the blue and green cool colours. With the return of the throwbacks I cant think of any matchup in sports that does that better. I fully agree. Since 2007, the Flames had the right crest but horrible primary uniforms. The Canucks are the polar opposite....the wrong crest but beautiful primary uniforms(not counting the weak Agency font). The Flames have finally come full circle. Now, it's time for the Canucks, Canada's 3rd oldest NHL franchise, to do the same...with at least the original '70 Stick in Rink or a recoloured Skate(blending the original & current colours and the ever-popular crest from '78-'97).

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Ricky_Roby Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hurray - though they should drop the black C as their third jersey, it's so out of place now and never made any sense to begin with. The C is on fire, fire isn't black. This shouldn't be that difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a reversioned Petr Bondra/Sergei Gonchar/Adam Oates/Mike Eagles/Oliver the Goalie Washington Capitals set. That's what I want. Give me that, and y'all can have the rest. 56 minutes ago, Ricky_Roby said: Hurray - though they should drop the black C as their third jersey, it's so out of place now and never made any sense to begin with.

officeglenn Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Here's a great piece from FlamesNation that touches on the process, how long the Flames have been contemplating this move, other options they explored, why they're keeping the black C jersey as an alternate, and even the origins of the flags on the shoulders in the previous set: https://flamesnation.ca/2020/10/06/ryan-popowich-jersey-interview-article/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I don't think I've seen this anywhere else yet, but the mothership has the Flames also bringing back the old wordmark. I always liked that wordmark for whatever reason. Also has there been any news on if the Atlanta A is going to stay as the alternate captain letter? It wasn't used for the Winter Classic version of the whites, but I hope it sticks around now that they've been made primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for Flames marketing director, Ryan Popowich for laying everything down on the table. At the end of the day, as the saying goes, "If it's not broken, don't fix it." In other words, if the Flames never messed around with their classics in '94, there wouldn't have been all these hurdles to overcome in bringing them back. On the contrary, the good thing about the change in '94 followed by all the changes in the 2000's, there's a lesson to be learned, "You don't know what you got until it's gone." Going with black trim, a black Flaming C and adding "Blasty the Horse" should have been limited to alternate sweaters while leaving the traditional whites and reds alone.
