0598: Red Flames

How about another theme week? Got a lot of neat concepts recently that are heavy on red. So this is Red Week! We kick things off with a scarlet take on the Calgary Flames by Jeremy Klassen, who's keeping the yellow to a minimum. Of note is the white flaming C. What do you think? Especially compared to the Flames' recently leaked third jersey?

These are beauty's. Flames unis have so much potential. Makes you wonder WTH their doing with their current sets and the supposed 3rd jersey that has leaked.

Has that 'simplistic' theme Reebok's got going on this year, with a mix of their original colors and 2000's design. I like it. Not enough black for me, though. A little extra black and I'd definitely take this over the leak.

Maybe change the socks...? The way the pic is set up (with the upper leg and knees being covered by the sleeve) it looks like cooperalls!

I like this jersey. Only change I would make would be to make it a straight line at the hem instead the kind of V like striping. But at the same time I can easily live with it, since it is so subtle.

Adding a thin black stripe would make this an A+, but for me it's a bit too Wings-y as is.

I'm with Pierre, a little too Wing-y for me. A little thicker yellow on the sleeves and bottom and these would be very sharp. 1.9 Billion times better than the apparent leak though.

I give these an A-. I think adding either a white, black or yellow shoulder yoke would make the jersey 'pop' just a little bit more for me.

Also the socks definately need something to break them up from the pants otherwise you get the unitard look like the

I like keeping black out of the jersey, but it could use more yellow

What a nice looking Red Wings jersey!

I don't understand the Calgary fans obsession with the color black. The black C is hideous and the black always seems forced with the Calgary designs like they someone just shouted out hey we need black lets put it here with no real direction. Personally I loved the throwbacks and the white C is classic looking to me and for lack of a better word prettier than the black C. Be original and stick with red yellow and white for colors! We've already seen one franchise go down the wrong path with black (kings) and are seeing potentially another (islanders) do the same please let's save calgary!

This is the right direction for the flames. Change the lettering and maybe add a bit more yellow. All in all a very solid design!

I agree with Banksy24; with the Flames typeset and number, couple with a thickening of the yellow stripes, this would be a great look the club could adopt (especially with that potential leaked jersey looming!)

This is great and I love the importance of yellow. The new shoulder patch and new Captain's letters on their home/away jerseys tell me they're wanting yellow to be more dominant... PERFECT
