I prefer these over the jerseys we have now. Does anyone else think we should go back to these jerseys full time or at least make it an occasional third jersey? (Keep the black blasty ones as a second option as well)

Hell no, it was enough of a struggle getting rid of them. We were one of the last teams to let go of that stupid vertical piping from the Reebok Edge era.
I miss those jerseys big time. For me, these are the colors of the Flames, because for nearly my whole life they were. I also legitimately like the way they look better. Black really makes the red pop out, and it also makes the team look a lot more menacing. The only thing the current jerseys do is make me think of McDonald’s. It’s not a tough or intimidating look in any way. The dream scenario for me would be to bring back the 2004 home and away jerseys with blasty as the alternate, and then never change that.
Yepp my favorite, I’d love to see all blasty colors with the silver C on the chest !
*Big no*
I think these might be my least favourite of any of the primaries, they’re way too busy
I’m a proud Canadian but the Canada + Alberta flag patches are brutal
Yup, just bought one of these jerseys a few months ago. The black C defines red mile imo.
I know a lot of people don’t, but I personally love them. Especially the shoulder patches
I don’t care about the details of the jersey so much, but I love the black C on red. I’d love for that to come back.
Not even a little bit. They stuck around way too long
No. No. No.
I love the black C on red jersey concept and I hope to see it again, but the rest of it was meh. The shoulder patches especially.
I much prefer our currents, but wouldn’t mind seeing these brought back with Blasty on the shoulders as a alternate
Nope. If we update, we should update and go in a new direction. At least our current sweaters harken back to our most dominant era. Wtf does any one miss about young guns 2.0?? I know this sub cant get over Johnny and chucky, that doesn’t make them right.
I still wear my Glencross black C to this day. The patches, the black C, the laces, I fuckin love that jersey. I overall prefer our current jersey though, I think the away jersey of that era is kinda wack, especially in comparison to our current ones.
In my opinion the retro home and away that they currently use will always be the best flames jerseys, but i would welcome these or any kind of black C jersey as an alternate
Those were the worst
04 or bust. Black C is sick but this jersey design was lame.
if they ever got rid of the stupid flags on the shoulders I would’ve loved these a lot more.
The flags were the worst thing Ken King did besides die
Nope.
We wore the much better version of the same idea for 3 seasons, and then wore these for like 13.
I remember when they first came out and they were a huge hit. I personally love them. But I love all
Flames merch
Not at all, they haven’t been gone long enough for me to have any nostalgia for me.
Bring them back (sans the shoulder flags) in a couple years as a third.
No
I adore them. My favorite era of flames jerseys.
I think the thing I miss about them the most is what the C of red was one colour of red. Now we have had so many jerseys that the fan base is split between old and new shades. It isn’t as aesthetically pleasing. Even the pictures they use of “the C of red” is from this era of jersey because this shade was really the only thing being worn that we had that bold wave
Not at all
Nope I hate all the piping and stripes on the sides, and the flags were just off
The Alberta and Canada flag were stupid
The Reebok versions with the weird yoke going from waist stripe to sleeve stripe is really weird and did not like that version. But the adidas one that got rid of it is pretty good, still not as good as the current/80s version but would be happy to see some kind of throwback. Now the jersey that I think is underrated and would love to see a comeback is the white 90s jersey.
All in all, 2010s<90s<2000s<80s/2020s.
My favorite
