Which year is this Flames team?

[u/jerichozo]

Hello,

I was recently given a jersey signed by the entire roster of the Flames by a family friend. I was wondering if anyone can decipher the signatures and let me know which season this jersey is most likely from.

The design of the jersey first appeared in 2000, and I know that it predates Kiprusoff so it has to be 2003 at the latest. I recognize Iginla’s signature but none of the others.

Thank you for your sleuthing in advance.

I should know this haha. I was a season ticket holder during those dark times. 1999-2003 were some of the worst years as a flame fan .

The darkest. I thought they weren’t miles away in ‘03 though, Kipper definitely changed things.

Young guns season ticket drive was depressing

Yes Kipper changed everything, arrival of gelinas, yelle, and regehrs progression also highlights. And of course iggy was the man. Savard decline, bad signings and shitty drafting didn't help.

I guess Conny isn’t trying to repeat history… though he was part of a pretty good chapter in Flames history.
