This deserves it's own post in regards to the new Rbk NHL jerseys. Now, I know that Calgary has never been the most conservative team when it comes to their uniforms, the black C creates enough stir, then there were the weird stripes that were horizontal and diagonal, then the dragon thing, and yet none of that is going to mean anything after today.
The new Flames look (seen above) has got to be the most questionable of all the jerseys released so far (we're nearing roughly half the league). At first glance they look familiar...then there are the tie-downs, lace-ups, shoelaces.. as I said before I see absolutely no point to them. I dunno, maybe players like them. Then there are the stripes...all over the place. Literally up and down. Oh, and some piping, cause that is what this year is all about,
piping. And, why yes, that is the Alberta flag on the right shoulder...and the Canadian one on the left. I guess this is to show Edmonton who's boss, or in case the Flames squared off against say Ottawa in Austria or something. (Joking aside, I like the
idea of putting a provincial flag on a hockey sweater, but blue on red...I'm guessing these will go in the next year.)
Ahh Calgary, at least tell us you are going to switch to a non-ornate font...
