Heritage Classic

So the NHL unveiled the jerseys Calgary and Montreal will be wearing at the Heritage Classic. Montreal didn't venture quite so far into their past for their uniforms. They "will sport the same jersey worn for home games between 1974-75 and 1995-96," according to the club's website.

The Flames on the other hand decided to go waaaaaaaaaaaaay back to 1920 and revisit the Calgary Tigers. It's hard for me to get a good gauge on these jerseys because depending on where you see it, the colours seem to be very different saturations. If you go to the Flames website, the jerseys appear to be really bright red and yellow reminiscent of Ronald McDonald. If you see the video on the NHL website the colours are much, much darker. Personally, I like the darker colours but overall I still don't like these jerseys at all. If I had a choice I would have kept the Tigers logo on the front and put the flaming C on the shoulders. That would make far more sense to me.
