Okay, today we look at the Calgary Flames and their jersey history. I do have the script jersey, just forgot to include it here. Watch for that in tomorrow's Canes video.

I love how the flames ise the Altanta Flames logo as the A for Alternate Captains

[@trevorgarrett9735]

I didn’t know that, that’s pretty neat

[@wyattpoth965]

Yeah they could also use their regular logo for captain but that would probably look a bit weird

[@flamingdragon8962]

If they switch to retros full time, I’ll miss that Atlanta A

[@damonwebb813]

Excellent touch

[@mmusser19]

@@wyattpoth965 They did for awhile, like when Theo Fleury was captain tinyurl.com/y7gctgmq

[@uhRoss]

I love the flags as shoulder patches, some great jerseys for Calgary!

[@wun0589]

The Black blasty jersey was the reason I liked the Flames as a kid and is still one of my favourite jerseys to this day

[@wun0589]

@@DR.DisInfect of course lol. It came in last week, I love it!

[@flawlesszn3989]

Calgary jerseys are some of my favourite ever

[@codesterrrr]

There's a rumour that the Flames will go back to the retro home and away jerseys full time as soon as next year. That would be great as they are some of the best jerseys in the league.

[@nathanbrisebois8756]

They said the same thing with the senators throwback jerseys, the black/red/beige striped jerseys. Instead we kept the same ones and ruined the throwback jersey by changing the colors to mostly red, white and for some reason a silver stripe and logo. Silver has NEVER been a Sens color. I grew up in Calgary and I hope they follow through on that, those 80s jerseys are super nice

[@agent00puffball]

I hope they do and bring back an Ol' Blasty 3rd

[@kevinyang6254]

And you are right ;)

[@jordspectre]

@@agent00puffball :)

[@cantthinkofaname7247]

The logo in black looks so nice but I much prefer the retros

[@vurx218]

I would be interested in a Blasty jersey with the flipped logo like he said, I wouldn't want it to be a mainstay but a few games wouldn't hurt, the Penguins current jerseys are really nice and I kinda picture it like that

[@Simon-tc1mc]

Really? I can't stand the logo in black. It looks so much better in white.

[@IbrahimKhizar11]

Same

[@mjk06]

He missed the one with Calgary written on the front :O :P

[@alexrowdyrodrigues9716]

I don't think he has it does he? Its like with the Anaheim Ducks Video he missed the "WildWing" Jersey that I actually love

[@donkey1151]

RickRoll A-Rod777 umm sir the wild wing jersey is a little out of my liking

[@mikeysrants4527]

We don’t speak of the “Calgary” worded jersey in Calgary lol. Awful jersey

[@DARK24-7]

The Atlanta Flame-Calgary Flames have always had such iconic recognizable,unique jerseys!Al Macinnis looked great in Flames!!!Matched his slapper!!!

[@PancakesAndHammers2426]

That Atlanta Flames jersey is such a beauty.

[@craigdickens4148]

I noticed that you didn't show a third from a few seasons ago with Calgary on the front, I'm sure I've seen you in it. Looking forward to Carolina.

[@megarollxrgmbroadcasting91]

That jersey in the thumbnail is the greatest thing that I have never seen before

[@higgy04]

The mid-90's era Flames jersey wasn't one of my favourites considering I live in the Calgary area. The diagonal stripe was useless in my opinion. I heard from some people that it meant 'Progress'. Yeah right. The way it stopped at the flaming C meant early playoff exit or no playoffs. Others have mentioned it but the script 'Calgary'' jersey with the radically different shoulder patch was omitted.

[@ChiefSpookyFish]

Slight correction: Blasty was the primary away jersey for a while, not the primary home jersey. It was back when teams wore white at home. Cool video Shannon, nice to see your Flames collection 🔥

[@brandonb.6099]

The jersey history video series has been awesome so far. I think the flames should go back to their original design for both their home and away jerseys.

[@AJJ28]

There is something about that Flaming C.... GO FLAMES GO!! Great video

[@chrisscott2009]

I love the Autumnal colour Heritage Classic.

[@nathanbrisebois8756]

I really like those diagonal stripes jerseys from the 90s, the white looks alot better than the dark but I actually think it's a nice jersey And I hated the Horsehead logo but the jersey itself was cool

[@TheGarretArcher]

Love ours jerseys, have to be some of the best in the league

[@camdudzinski5206]

CCM Jerseys are my favorite.

[@lambknot]

I like the 06-07 home jerseys the most.

[@bryansimmonshayes]

Love looking forward to these videos every day

[@cheesebastianwong449]

4:16, my favorite design out of all the Flames jerseys that have been donned over history.

[@teddyjun1]

That black one was used as home jersey for two years! (01-03)

[@goaheadcalldonshipley7659]

The Abbotsford Heat was a missed opportunity when they could have just been called flames and resurrected those Atlanta jerseys

[@michealcroutch2866]

I remember them playing a pre season game many years ago with the black jersey with the red c logo and numbers,deemed not tv friendly form NHL and never seen again until the horse with white numbers on the back came out a few years later

[@letthemeatboobs]

Thanks for the run down. Lots of gems in here

[@johnhein4851]

When they stitched the Alberta flag on the shoulder then I was convinced beyond shadow of doubt they had the best jerseys in the nhl!

[@professordogwood8985]

I quite like Blasty the horse on the shoulders, the flags are a bit, well, high horsed.

[@drumdog15]

What, no "Calgary" word mark jersey? did I miss it?

[@whosthatguy8396]

5:34 is probably my favourite jersey the logo just pops. Although the first heritage jersey is close

[@vinceniederman]

I Miss The Flaming Horse Logo As a Flyers Fan!

[@voltron771001]

I watch all of your video great job I am Florida Panthers fan

[@andrewtymchuk7174]

Good Stuff Man

[@christophersmith2776]

Hey Shannon...I think a cool video would be to rank the various brands of jerseys through the years...Starter.,CCM various versions, Koho, Pro Player, Reebok various versions, Fanatics, Adidas, etc

[@swedishfool91]

I really hope they to back to the retros full time. Easily some of the best jerseys of all time

[@Sanchezy804]

Great video. If your getting a replacement jersey for the Calgary red 1995 jersey is there any chance you would sell your other one

[@neduj752]

A black jersey with the original striping and a white C would be mint

[@Cgyfan88]

Next season the Retro will be the home, the 2019 Heritage will be the Away, and a new version of Blasty will be the 3rd. Also, the '04 Red was the most popular/best selling jersey from 2003 through the lockout.

[@bencooley5307]

You sure called that

[@juliangarcia1221]

The Flames should go back to their 1989 jerseys as their home and away

[@ronfroehlich4697]

When I think of the Calgary Flames, those are the jerseys they wear

[@JP_HKY]

My favourite flames jersey is the original Calgary flames jersey the ones from the 80s

[@jack9548]

The flames rebranded back to there original uniforms

[@nathanbrisebois8756]

You missed an alternate. The one with the black shoulders, looks similar in striping to NJ jerseys with the diagonal Calgary in cursive I actually really liked that jersey

[@gaurd60]

Where did you order the red pedestal from?It's all I need to complete my collection.

[@bdGongShow]

Just ordered two Pedestal jerseys. Had a Blasty one that just came in. Love the 90’s Flames look. So ugly, but in a good way.

[@BrettHornby]

Of course I'm going to say that the originals and retro jerseys are the best ones for the Calgary Flames. Need to make those full-time. Don't know what they we're thinking on the pedestal jersey and blasty needs to return as a third jersey. Only one I didn't care for is the wrangler wordmark which wasn't shown.

[@mesvieillesseries46]

Hi, could you talk about 3ICE?

[@itsjustmilesmusic]

The flags aren’t stating that their Canada or albertas team, I think it’s stating where their from

[@h2ofield]

The Flaming toilet seat!

[@jacked6]

The Blastie jersey was so ugly. Glad you brought back those funny memories 😂.

[@KrisVic91]

What? It's awesome.

[@camdudzinski5206]

Flames retro 80s red jerseys are cool from a design standpoint.

[@adriansims1596]

Wished I could find the red Atlanta jersey that would fit me.

[@wasabipiep4724]

I kinda want them to go back to their old home with blasty and the black base at the bottom. Looks cleaner. Or have that as a third and bring the 80s design back

[@j.nicolosi6647]

The Calgary Flames played for Gryffindor for that Heritage Classic apparently

[@JustThatGuyYT]

I ordered a heritage classic jersey from benhsports back in November but never received it. I contacted him but he hasn't responded after awhile :( have you ever dealt with something like this?

[@ConnorDoubleYou]

7:45 I forgot about the Gryffindor jereseys 😄

[@ChiefSpookyFish]

LOL how did I never think of that

[@benlearnslanguages5766]

The white logo original is my favorite.

[@toriamansfield2999]

I love Blasty! :D

[@KevinJL]

The not connected cross collar on that Atlanta Flames bother anyone else? Otherwise cool jersey.

[@RichNosowicz]

Since Shannon doesn't have any names on his Flames jerseys, Calgary's Assistant/Alternate Captains actually use the old Atlanta logo instead of a standard "A"

[@thelilblackduck]

which Atlanta Flames belong in the overall franchise Ring of Honor? Eric Vail? Guy Chouinard? Harold Philipoff?

[@CyborgNinjaGaming]

Hey guys where to buy Adizero jerseys online for the best price except eBay?

[@borismuller86]

I wonder if the Flames are popular in Germany. 🇩🇪

[@gamergod3378]

I dont think the blastie one is ugly but it just doesnt look right. A flames jersey with a horsehead feels kinda random and out of left field. The black looks nice and the stripes arent bad but the logo is weird. If they had just put their normal logo there it would be one of my favourites.

[@flamingdragon8962]

Our 2004 reds to the Reebok reds was a huge downgrade. Don’t know why Reebok has an obsession with piping. I’m not a huge fan of the flags either.

[@jesselancaster7]

I know that Atlanta Probably never get a team again but hope they do, even though they would not be my favorite team

[@matthewperrella2649]

The only one you forgot is the Calgary curse of jersey that they were for like a one year as a third

[@rlosangeleskings]

I wasn't too thrilled with Calgary for ditching the Flaming A in favor of the flaming C after the move from Atlanta...

[@mynameisdpc]

The 2004 SC run jerseys were their best look honestly.

[@jakobfox712]

Don't you have the "Calgary" word mark jersey?

[@mcdaviddeservesbetter8]

The retro throwbacks are among the top 10 all time, but man are those pyjama road whites awful.

[@flamesmg]

Best jerseys in the league!!!

[@Nikkerman]

2:31 lmao that jersey looks like a legit graphic design error and they just kept it? Do the calgary flames hate people with OCD?

[@IbrahimKhizar11]

Faxxx

[@scarecrowninja]

Calgary originals are my favorite. The Flames name had to do with Atlanta being burned during the Civil War.

[@rileykazama3145]

I like the flames Jerseys

[@icebergpreservation5164]

We'll see what the flames do for the 2022-23 reverse retro, hopefully not an Atlanta flames jersey

[@NeonBayProductions]

Germany Flames

[@teddymorgan1069]

THG talks about incoming jerseys like flightreacts talks about his basketball skills

[@deepvoicegames5024]

The best Flames jersey is the Guildford Flames in the British League

[@rtql8d]

I personally would not be mad if the heritage jerseys became full time away jerseys

[@sadrevolution]

It's hard to look at the horse objectively. The flaming c is just so much better.

[@djgatorshark9002]

I bet the next video will be Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes.

[@azraelreaper27]

Pixel really wants to be on camera, she’s been on the tower for about the last 5 videos

[@roanlaplante]

I hate all of these Flames jerseys in black. Ever since the introduction of black into the flames color palette in the Germany jerseys, black has tarnished the jerseys. The current road jerseys aren't too offensive, but the current homes with the black C is the worst thing in my view. The only black one that has ever been good was Blasty, because Blasty was so incredibly different that it was okay to do a radically different design. The black C doesn't work by contrast and nor does the black striping

[@rohinkartik-narayan7535]

I personally like the Atlanta logo over the Calgary logo

[@alessandrogiacomelli1102]

I think you forgot one of the best Calgary Jersey ever: the one with the retro Calgary name in the front

[@Kman31ca]

I bet if they did a poll of Calgary fans, most would want to have the original jersey back as their main jersey.

[@ChiefSpookyFish]

We had a poll on the Flames Reddit page and the original jerseys won by a landslide

[@LinkofHyrule1996]

I wish I could buy the flaming horse jersey easily and not off of ebay.

[@SaskStarsFan]

Didn't you forget the reebok word mark jersey?

[@BvG_Venom]

Must be Germany's favorite team

[@TheBlackWatchRHR]

2:34 ...What...What the fuck am I looking at, how much drugs were the R&D department on at the time?!?!?!

[@leftywith4strings201]

Why haven’t the Flames ever had their primary logo in their yellow? I feel like that would look nice.

[@gaurd60]

I have seen concepts and it does not look great.

[@MisfitPhobia]

Flames Jersey are the coolest

[@idkrkbutw2332]

Ni how

[@evann-t2915]

Personally, I think the black logo looks sick. Also I’ve always hated how Calgary has an Alberta flag. I think that the Canada flag is odd, but it’s kinda whatever, but I don’t like when a team has the flag of their state/province when they’re not the only team there *@ Florida and Calgary*

[@Kman31ca]

Ah, think it's just there to show pride for the province.

[@cantthinkofaname7247]

It's just there to pay homage to their country and province

[@AmperfleX]

I don't like that the Oilers don't have the flags, especially given the current state of affairs with Canadian oil.

[@gaurd60]

They could not come up with a secondary logo with Flames and not look cheesy so they just went to flags.

[@keeperofthebonessean2872]

Blasty was great! And the next one was even better. And Calgary is Alberta's team bud.
