Kramerica Industries Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I strongly prefer the last pre-EDGE set the Flames had over anything else they've worn in their franchise history, but I won't lie - those retro thirds look fantastic, bright red or not.

Raymie Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 The Flames' vintage look uses a vibrant red with a vibrant athletic gold. Combined with the white, there's just no contrast. It's two bright colours competing for space with an additional light colour. Now I'm not saying the Flames need a primarily black sweater. Black striping here and there though? Combined with the gold and red? It allows the two brighter colours to pop. I like vibrant colours too, but the vintage Flames stuff is just a bit to much.Seconded. This is the problem my high school will have if they keep it up. They have this color scheme, which is unique in Arizona, but they've been on a BFBS witch hunt for years. Our new third jerseys have a variety of problems, but they're red on gold, which is one of them.I think they need to go crimson and sunflower gold to break it up. Metallic gold is too much of a departure for a nearly 60-year-old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverFan69 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Unpopular opinion: I loved the 1995-2000 Flames set. Even the podium stripes.If anything, the podium stripes were far from the worst jersey designs from the 90s NHL, and well, I credit the Flames for trying something unique.The Flames should have left their original set alone. Maybe deepen the red a touch and shrink their block numbers to standard size, but that's it. When they added black, it was also copying the Canucks' colours. The Canucks were an original black, gold(yellow), and red team. When the Canucks switched to home white in '89 and the Flames added black 5 years later, both teams looked more identical based on their colour schemes.

The colours were similar, but the Flames looked no more like the Canucks then the Canadiens look like the Rangers. They each utilized the colours they were working with uniquely. Besides, the black, gold, and red look never really fit the Canucks. It seemed so out of place in the Pacific northwest. The blue, green, and white is a much, much better look for them. I still maintain that you'd have a pretty good, near perfect, Flames set if you took the 1995-2000 set and simply removed the podium striping.

I'm afraid you and I will have to agree to disagree on black being on the Flames uniforms. Black on the Flames' set is like red being on the Blues' set. Mind you, I do prefer the '04 look over the '95-'00 set. However, I would not go with italics for the numbers and I would have horizontal hem stripes. I would also use red helmets to match the sweaters. Last, I would re-apply red yokes to the whites plus red and gold piping on each side of the pants. I'd say it's a fair compromise between the '89 Stanley Cup look and the '04 runner-up look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intersecting diagonal stripes on the shoulder yokes look terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanmaldonado Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I loved the horse and the inclusion of black. I'm not a Flames fan at all, but the 04 red jersey is one of my all time favorites. And the horse was a perfect alternate logo. It was a new look from the typical C, which I loved. And it fit in with the stadium name haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYYNYR Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 What a great night for uni match-ups, including the hotly debated Flames:http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/photos?gameId=400047214&photoId=1912668#photo_1912668http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/photos?gameId=400047209&photoId=1911432#photo_1911849http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/photos?gameId=400047211&photoId=1911787And then there was Pitt / Fla.

BBTV Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 How about two toned with red and maroon / brick to go with the yellow and a little bit of black?

The intersecting diagonal stripes on the shoulder yokes look terrible.I loved the sleeve stripe pattern, actually. It was down right traditional when you compare it to some other "innovations" from the era. I rather have chevron intersecting sleeve stripes then wave stripes or a cartoon duck jumping through the ice.

Morgan33 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Either Reebok doesn't have a catalogue this year or people are being VERY tight lipped. I for one do not believe there will be no wholesale changes to any of the 30 teams primary jersey sets (as Chris from Icethetics hinted). There are just too many teams in bad need of an overhaul. Perhaps this year it will actually be surprise. We are less than 4 months away from seeing what's in store next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webhamster Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The Sens just released their online brochure for next season and it is very "O"-centric.http://senators.c1ms.com/2012/Personally I hope it is a sign of things to come, but maybe their just trying to sell more of the third jerseys.As long as Scotiabank is a major sponsor of the team I'm pretty sure you can be certain the home jerseys will stay red. Having said that, the reds and whites could sure use a massive overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
