Sobieit Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Personally I love this. Totally nostalgia. I remember as a kid my first flames jersey was a blasty jersey. This will look great with #19 and Tkatchuk on the back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 In thinking about this I think the reason I dislike it so much is it is associated with some really bad hockey.... So I could see myself coming around on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob74 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 It seems like it defeats the purpose. It’s not really a reverse jersey because it was already this colour scheme, so it seems more retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Valerie Bure approves. My personal thoughts aside, the Flames listened to their fans and did a good job marketing this one. I feel their marketing team has become one of the better ones in the league lately. Not the best era of Flames hockey but involving players like Bure is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames-fan-in-jets-land Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 My twitter is getting loaded with all the teams retro/reverso unis. So far I really like the Canes, Hawks, Avs, Jets, and Kings. As for the Ducks, Yotes, Sabres, BJs, and Blues....please no. How did Vegas do retro?

The only reverse is that it's less red. Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebrewcrew Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I love it. I think it will look a lot better on this ice in 2020 than it did 20yrs ago. Then again, maybe it's because the on-ice product will be better. I think they'll sell a ton of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I didn't really like ol' Blasty. This is at least a decent color scheme though. Only have to look at it a couple times this season. Let's hope it will be a winner's jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCifer Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I saw a pic somewhere (here?) of ol’ blasty but using the red-yellow-white colour scheme. I thought it was fantastic. I’m a fan of the blasty jersey, but I was hoping they’d try the original colours with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sak22 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 After the whole release my rankings 31. Islanders - just lame, would be hard to want to pay $200 for reversed striping 30. Redwings - just boring 29. Mighty Ducks - might as well call them that again if they're bringing back that 28. Penguins - hated that one on the black 25 years ago hate it on white as well Robo-Pen on the shoulders might have put it up higher, but shouldn't have been brought back 27. Stars - that logo on the gray is horrendous 26. Sharks - their originals are one of my favorite all-times, a reverse of that would be top ten, instead its a reverse of a mediocre jersey. 25. Blue Jackets - so little to choose from, but pretty meh 24. Sabres - a combination of their worst jerseys 23. Golden Knights - little to choose from but too close to the Flames '03-'07 home reds 22. Jets - credit for not going Thrashers, but an original color scheme would have put them a lot higher 21. Nordiques or Avalanche - My take is it is a slap in the face to both current fans and fans of the old just to please the nostalgia lovers. Original Avs jerseys were great should have gone there. 20. Whalers or Hurricanes - same reasons just like the original Whalers more than the Nords 19. Leafs 18. Blackhawks 17. Predators 16. Rangers 15. Blues - I just can't get past the Blues having a red jersey, on top of that those were the worst jersey they had to use 14. Lightning - it fits with their current look a little I like it over their others 13. Oilers 12. Capitals - took their worst jersey design and made it better with their current color scheme 11. Canucks - I actually like this one, and I've hated everything with the Orca on it, still hate the Orca but the colors are cool 10. Flyers 9. Flames - personal bias 8. Wild - love keeping the Wild logo with the North Stars colors 7. Coyotes - something that stands out, curious to see how it would look in a game 6. Bruins - the creepy bear shoulder patch dropped them out of the top 5 5. Senators - perhaps a white stripe on the numbers would be sharp, but still a neat jersey 4. Devils - a reverse done right, it looks like Christmas 3. Kings - great mashup between a classic logo and color scheme 2. Panthers - like San Jose they had a great initial jersey, going back to that gives them full marks 1. Canadiens - a true reversal on a classic that looks awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However long that takes. You heard it here first folks; the nhl’s next league jersey theme will be the cutlery edition. Flames will obviously design theirs around a bbq implement, maybe a carving fork or grill brush. Oilers will probably want to stick with their theme of accidents and spills, so a roll of paper towels seems a good choice (though not technically a utensil). Canucks will stay ocean themed, maybe a pair of chop stick holding some sushi... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Canucks fans be jaded. There are some inaccuracies, no doubt - apparently they are unaware that the Oilers are the only western Canadian team permitted to select first, but nevertheless... https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/canucks-hockey/the-flames-have-signed-canucks-players-and-stolen-their-jersey-whats-next-3141082 Love.

Horsman1 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 just a marketing ploy to get some dollars into the owners pockets.. My play would be to open up arenas all across the country and The Excited states to closed circuit games played to regional audiences.. If you can get 5000 fans at bigge rinks and 2-3 thousand at smaller rinks.. you'd have a fan based game again untill this pandemic is over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robrob74 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 The thing about the Rogers app that I can’t stand is not getting the post game content. They’d have to create a virtual experience. imagine if they put it in the fans corner, allow them to cheer from home... the boos would be in a huge delay though! Haha.

If fan attendance was up to them I'm sure there would be more of a plan for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that charging more for content when so many more people are struggling financially would be the best option. If the teams and league are looking for more monetary options then why not added advertising? Those big tarps over the seats during the bubble? Look like a great place for ads, those computer generated ads on the glass, or dare I say on the unis and equipment like you see in the European leagues? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouCifer Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I kind of liked what the nba did with the virtual fans - set up screens in the stands that get displayed on tv, that have real fans at home watching the game simultaneously (via webcam). Sell those spots. Rotate people in and out so you can sell more than the “virtual seating” allows for. Maybe allow fan microphones to be on during the game to create that realistic atmosphere. and maybe sell the opposite side of the arena to in-person people, ensuring spacing rules are adhered to.

Thebrewcrew Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 https://www.icethetics.com/jerseywatch-2021 For the jersey fans out there. Blasty looks to be one and done and the Flames will no longer wear the black C with the flags. No alternates next year, could be a new one coming in 22/23. Little bit surprised, because I thought the Blasty jerseys were a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a demographic thing, I think. Retro is a relative term. When you were following the Flames before their cup win it seems quite odd to hear that a horse head blowing flames out of its nostrils is retro. But....I am happy the marketing people are in charge of marketing because they know their stuff and quite honestly I couldn't care about the jerseys. As long as the marketing people aren't influencing trades, I'm happy. Cough cough Gaudreau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
