Yeah, same logo would've been a better thing to caption it, was just disappointed it wasn't the white C

The jersey will likely not be a big departure from what we currently have.
Go on and surprise me Flames.

If it is going to be relatively the same, I hope they replace the flags with these as the shoulder patches.

As much as I wanted retro, or retro inspired jerseys, I knew that was a long shot when Chris Creamer said there would be no logo change (his site lists small alterations to the logo as changes).Yeah, same logo would've been a better thing to caption it, was just disappointed it wasn't the white C

I like the flags, but I agree that would look really nice.

At the season ticket holder meeting, it sounds like King said the jerseys are "startlingly similar" to what we have now
My guess is this then:
edit: I have no idea why that pic isn't working. It's the same jersey, minus the piping and rap under the arms.

some people think he was talking about the actual jerseys (fit, material... etc) and the change from reebok to adidas, not the actual design. So

I guess they are looking to minimize the number of new jerseys people will buy this year so citizens have more money to spend on an arena.

That is actually a tremendous improvement and brings them close to what we had before the Edge jerseys. Change the flags to what was on the thirds two years ago and you have one of the better jerseys in the league. Simple and elegant.

Why would adidas buy the rights to produce NHL jerseys for millions and not make significant changes? It makes zero sense.

Because Adidas has to follow each franchises branding guidelines, and it's the franchise that gets the final say at the end of the day. The Flames could opt for a very different design, or one with only minor tweaks.
Some more tidbits from the season ticket holders meeting from CP:
There's a fairly intense obsession (at least among the fan base) with the top line right wing spot to point of blowing up the rest of the roster to fill it so it's encouraging to see Treliving is smarter than that. In a cap world Ferland is more than acceptable on the top line, especially when there's a Backlund/Bennett/Tkachuk/Frolik making significant dollars behind them.
And hopefully the Flames re-sign Backlund as soon as they can. He deserves an "A" without question.

Guarantee this team never goes anywhere without at least a 50 point player on top RW.
I can't see how Treliving thinks that they're fine. Gaudreau will continue to get man handled until they put a legitimate threat on his other wing. I guess if you think Gaudreau being a 60-70 point player is good enough then they're "fine". He has the potential to be so much more than that. Just look how he plays in international competition when he's got legitimate line mates.
Hopefully he's just not showing his hand.
If Ferland plays like he did for that month where he lit it up consistently he could be that 50 point guy. I just don't think that will happen.

Setting up the play?
The key is that in a cap world, you just can't afford the luxury of having your top line be all guys who are top line players in their own right.
Think of all the recent Cup champs and who they had on their top lines. Usually it's one or two line drivers and a 'gel' piece who isn't a first-liner in their own right. And that's because you can't win a Cup by winning one line matchup out of four.
Gaudreau had a real down year last year, and it's unclear how much we should read into it. No doubt we're in trouble if that's his more "true" level of play that we can expect going forward. However, if he can get back to his play from the season prior and be more of an offensive threat every shift, then Treliving's vision is a good one. Let those two stars drive the line and let our resources be put towards shoring up everywhere else.
Yeah I get that it's really hard hole to fill and although I'd be disappointed, I'd come around to seeing how Ferland can do in that spot for a season and re-evaluating as we go.
I just think besides some how getting Price or finding the next Kipper, no change would have more of an impact on the success of this team then having a bonafide top winger on the same line as Gaudreau and Monahan.
