Retro Jerseys Return for the Flames

The Calgary Flames announced today that they would be returning to their retro style jerseys this year as their third jerseys. The Flames have worn this uniform the past few years only on retro nights, and chose for it to return as their 3rd jersey after an absence of three years.

These jerseys were the main alternate for the Flames from the 2009-2010 season through the 2012-13 season. They replace the jerseys I affectionately call the “children’s pyjama” jersey worn as the alternate the past three seasons.

The Flames wore this style of jersey from 1980-81 through 1993-94. They will be wearing the jerseys 12 times out of 41 home dates this season.

The dates where the Flames will be wearing the retro jersey are as follows:

For those who are big fans of these jerseys, you’ll have your chance to get your fill in this season! Preseason starts in just 5 days! Who’s pumped for Flames hockey!?!?
