My Thoughts: While The Alberta and Canada Flags were totally out of left field, and after an original W-T-F... As I think about it and look at these I love the new approach. I think it's obvious the city and team are leaving the Hick, Cowboy, Yee-Haw attitude behind as this city matures... But then again i'm a born and raised Calgarian who hasn't been to the Stampede in 3 years....
I'm sure fans from around the country of other teams will not enjoy us putting our National Flag right on the jersey but why the heck not? We are a Canadian team here... We're all Canadian teams, I'd have no problem if all Canadian teams had that logo on their jersey.
Imagine The Flames going to Florida... Would most people in attendance or watching on TV know where Calgary even is? Is it a town somewhere in Maine?? With these shoulder patches it shows #1 this team is from Canada, and specifically The Province of Alberta.
On the overall design, I love them. Especially The Whites, as they seem to have the most dramatic changes, a Black collar, Red Laces, Nice Black striping down the sides providing a great contrast on the jersey itself.
The Patches visually will take some getting used to, no doubt but I am happy with the design and the approach on these and can't wait to wear them.

i love that they took the lacing to the away jersey. kickass. i'm pretty happy with the jersey, to be honest, but i'm really kindof pissed about the bottom half of the uniform.
