###Notes:
Unsure if Fanattic/CGY Team Store will carry these, but I know Jersey City sold the previous line of these kinds of replica jerseys from M&N.
Really odd that Fleury was chosen as one of options owing to controversies in recent years surrounding comments made about the LGTBQ+ community and how the Flames org have seemingly distanced themselves from him.
Housley is also certainly a choice given that while he did have some tenure with the Flames, he has been largely forgotten by the fanbase. That said the mid/late 90’s didn’t have a lot of high points so you take the hand that gets dealt to you.
Personal opinions: I personally own an Adidas replica of the Atlanta Flames jersey and the material, stiching, cut and fit seem to be more authentic to the period than what M&N is doing here, let alone it being better value. At least with the Adidas Classics run, you weren’t paying for something that’s equal to the full price of an Authentic Fanatics (yuck) Premium jersey.
I’ve never seen a lot of M&N jerseys in the wild, so it’s safe to assume these will already be marked down for Christmas sales followed by clearance sales at the end of the regular season – assuming you can get them elsewhere than Jersey City.
For the 89’s, you’d get better value and quality at full price by simply buying the current home jerseys and sourcing a replica cup final patch and shipping those out to Great Plains, even if you’re dropping an extra $100 compared to the M&N. I’d wait for the M&N 89’s to drop to $170-$150 before I say it’s worth your money.
Original run pedestals on the other hand are rare and can sometimes re-sell around $300-$400, more so if they’re the even rarer full-blown “Centre Ice” authentics. This may be the only time for a while these jerseys are mass produced, so if you’re really egging for one this may be your best chance – unless you want to scour Ebay like I did for my Pedestal Jerseys.
If you don’t like the players that are on hand, it appears everything is sewn on and a seam ripper should be able to do easy work. Great Plains will surely set you up with a player more to you liking. Just be sure to wait for a sale f this is your intended route as spending +$300 on this would be absurd.

Nhlshop has carried these M&N 89 Flames jerseys for quite a while now, in Fleury and McDonald.
Would rather a Vernon than Fleury but wyd.
Reminder than fanatics bought Mitchell and Ness. Pretty devastating.
