CC97 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Watching the Flames/Canucks game on HNiC tonight I noticed the names on the back of the Flames jerseys were now in white.Before:After (look closely): --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etown Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I heard this change rumored for a few weeks now. Apparently the black on red was too hard to read from a distance, which is what prompted the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Apparently the black on red was too hard to read from a distance, which is what prompted the change.We were saying that from the word go...but then again how can anyone without a marketing business degree have any good ideas? The NHL is wise to ignore our counsel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 If they wanted it to have a colorfill, i'd say go withthe yellow-gold color, instead of white. But anything is easier to read than that black-on-red crap... Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philly97flyer Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 i will say it looks better BUT, what about all of the people who just got the jersey with the black lettering on it. i would be pissed about the change if i just spent $130 on a new red jersey and now it had inaccurate lettering on it.

uniformity Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 if they discontinue the black lettering, wouldnt that make it a collectors item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first version used was black with a white outline and the second version is white with a black outline.Also, the Flames have worked out a free offer to change the jerseys that they have sold over to a new white with black outline colour scheme for the player name.

X-Man Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Didn't realize before, but from the side, this looks a lot like a Blackhawks jersey...anybody else see what I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
