#2 has been sullied by a number of interlopers. Its far from retired IMO.

I believe all were during his playing career, so that doesn't bother me.

Wrong, Commodore wore it after MacInnis retired.

 

[Lunatik]

Wrong, Commodore wore it after MacInnis retired.

Except, I'm 100% correct. MacInnis retired on Sept. 5th, 2005. He missed 2003-04 with an injury and that was the year Commodore wore #2.

that should be hot up in hurr. that's how you talk right thurr

 

[CraigsList]

I'm pretty sure that they would switch it to 1-39 to make exceptions for Bennett and Ortio.

Bennett - 39 (if possible)
Ortio - 37 (if possible)
Hamilton - 27
Frolik - 10
Jooris - 20
Ferland 16

 

[FlamerForLife]

With the switch to 1-40:
Bennett- 39
Hamilton- 27
Jooris- 16
Ferland- 28
Frolik- 20

 

[Trae]

For the sake of my future jersey, I desperately hope Treliving lightens up and Bennett wears 93

IMO, general guideline should be around this:

1: Goalie
2-29: Player
30-39: Goalie
40-79: Rookies
80-98: Player

 

[Lunatik]

someone shared this on CP



5:47 in they bring up jersey #s

63 is his training camp number
would prefer 93
believes rule is under 40

Just after 8 minutes in Bennett talks about Stajan & Raymond were 2 vets that really made him feel welcome. When we talk about Raymond this is something we may forget about him.

 

[Gritty]

With the switch to 1-40:
Bennett- 39
Hamilton- 27
Jooris- 16
Ferland- 28
Frolik- 20

This is what I also think.

I actually prefer Bennett in 39 instead of 93! Vintage Dougie

[Flamesarmstrong22]

Bennett - 39
Ferland - 20
Frolik - 10
Hamilton - 27
Jooris- 16
Ortio - 37

 

[Perceptor]

I'm basically waiting for Bennett's new number so I can get a new jersey, likely the retro red

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

We should start a petition on this board to get the retro's as the permanent jersey for the Flames, I could then forward it to Ken King.

I wish....

I have no idea why they don't make it happen. But then again... sometimes marketing departments do not see the obvious (ADK Flames mascot )

Yup, I've promised myself if I ever by chance have Ken King's ear, I'll bring this up.

And has Bennett said he's wanted the number 39? Or are we just assuming because its 93 flipped?

Scorch is awesome though; the problem was the Flames walking away from him at the first sign of controversy (the day of introduction).

I think he wants #93, as it is intended to honour Doug Gilmour's # while he was with the Leafs, and his twitter handle. The only reason I think 39 would be acceptable to him is because it was Doug Gilmour's jersey # while in Calgary

That's racist

 

[Lunatik]

That's racist

Not really, white people speak like that in the south too. It's more regionalism, if that's a thing
