0390: Calgary Back in Black

I must admit this Flames jersey is an older concept from Nick Burton. He sent it in almost a year ago — so it doesn't really fit in with his current design aesthetic — and I'm only now getting to it. What does that tell you about the backlog? Anyway, I'm posting it because I think it's a neat look — for a black jersey.

Also, Happy Pi Day!

If the backlog is so big, perhaps add 3 jerseys each day.... not sure if that would make your workload unbearable but I know readers would love it!

Anyways, neat concept. I would change the gold color though to more of a yellow, nice job!

I'm a Flames fan and those old black jerseys of their's were awful. I don't want to see the team sport any more black again.

That said, I like this design, as the prevelance of gold helps make the red pop out more. Not bad.

i think this concept would be perfect if there were just red stripes around the yellow, with black cuffs and hem

That's actually really cool. I just don't like seeing the Flames logo in yellow. Not criticizing the designer for that, but the logo just doesn't look right to be when it isn't red.

As a Flames fan, I actually liked the Flaming Donkey logo. I would really like to see something like this in action as well. Excellent concept in my opinion.

I like the Jersey since the flames are getting a new 3rd jersey this could be it maybe the flames make a new logo like a flamming cowboy or bronco / Stallion
All in all a solid Design

I like the overall concept. It looks like a HOCKEY jersey (shoulder yokes, horizontal striping - Can't stand all the weird stuff that came out with the Edge jerseys.) It would look a thousand times better with a red C outlined in gold, though.
