moose97 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I finaly saw the new Calgary jerseys on Sportscenter, and I can't believe how hard it is to read the numbers on TV. Didn't the flames conduct ANY TV tests to find out what they would look like? Hard to believe they would waste so much money on something that dosn' allow you to identify players quickly.Anyone else agree?Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 can anyone post some pics of the jerseys in action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0dotcom Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I caught a look to and I agree. You gotta throw in white (or even yellow, hello 90 canucks alt) to make them more readable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper98 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Personally, I love my new Flames Pro Home jersey but I have to say that the black crest and numbers tend to have poor visual definition. The names are even worse as they blur right out when viewed from the stands.I predict that the Flames will have this jersey for 3 years maximum (including an impending lockout) and that afterwards they will switch back to light coloured numbers, letters and crest on a red jersey. The jersey striping pattern was introduced with the black alternate jersey in 1998 and it's not exactly a "timeless" design so they will be due for a change in 2006.

-kj Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 It's actually a very nice striping pattern. The only problem with these jersey is the choice of letter/number/crest colour. Otherwise, it's a great pattern. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

puckcool22 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 its looks fine in the pics but i have nhl center ice an di agree they are very hard to see, maybe if the white outline was a little bolder, like the huge white outline the caps use on the blacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it's a great pattern.It is a great striping pattern. I really like it a lot. Unfortunately, I can see them changing it for the sake of change (fresh look, new merchandise, more money, etc.) before too long. The previous striping pattern was only used from 1995 to 2000 before being dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolio8ca Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I love the Flames new jersey. I don't have a problem reading the black numbers on TV or even at their home opener.

spyboy1 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 The black flaming "C" is just not right. "Flames" are a hot item, and should there for be a "hot" color. Red makes sense and so does yellow or even white, as in "white hot". But black is the color of something cold and dead. Not only that, I agree with the popular consensus that the black on red isn't very contrasting and is not very easy to read, especially on the tube.My overall reaction, perhaps because I'm a photorapher, is that the Flames new jerseys look like a negative! The flames are black where they should be white and just strikes me as being "off" or "odd", and this is from someone who LOVES black, red and white together. The proportions are off in this case. Take a look at the Devils to see it done in the right amounts.JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.

VandyDelphia Mike Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 So does this mean the Chicago Bulls have a problem too? Since they use black numbers on a red jersey too?? NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I'm not sure why, but it seems to work ok for the Bulls and not the Flames. Maybe it's the slightly different reds they use. (Pantone would be the expert, but they look different to me.) Maybe it's the yellow added in. But it just doesn't look right on the Flames' jerseys.Of course, the Bulls also have white names on the back, that helps a bit. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

They were white up until the time before Jordan first retired from the Bulls. Then the first season he played baseball, names went from being white to black trimmed in white.My years might be slightly off, but you get what I'm saying ...was...is ...Sorry to have co-opted an innocent Calgary Flames thread with my babble ...
