As such, I can't wrap my head around nostalgia for 2004. Why would Flames fans prefer the sweaters from the year they lost over the ones from the year they won?

Probably due to generational difference; a lot of people remember 2004 much more than 1989 because they weren't born then, therefore they have a stronger attachment to that look than something they weren't even alive to witness. That, and 2004 is like...the only time the Flames have been that successful since 1989 lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other inputs, such as quality and price point of jerseys in 2004, were quite beneficial for the consumer in the early 2000s. CCM was selling decent replica jerseys (yes, embroirdered crests that were heat-pressed) for what, $60-80 in 2004? 1 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

DTConcepts Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 The Islanders have teased the fisherman's return with the announcement of "90s Night" in December. If the Reverse Retros are going to be unveiled in November, then having '90s night in December makes sense. 5 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

Granted we haven't seen them...but assuming they're halfway decent looking, it'd be a shame if they only wear them once. Lou will be Lou, though. 1 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Based on the article, it looks like these STH beanies are hinting at the striping pattern for the Kraken reverse retro jersey. The anchor might be a clue as well, but that isn't as obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFirestormToPurify Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 My Habs looked so good last night without the disgraceful helmet ads and sponsor patches I almost forgot how much I hated the Bell/CIBC sticker on the helmet because of the new patch Now THAT looks like a major league game. It's a shame it won't ever happen again :censored: you Bettman :censored: you Geoff Molson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
