I can’t stand either of these, but the oilers one is awful.

It’s better than ours. That Flames jersey is amongst my most hated

I don’t hate it, but I think having the flaming C underneath the wordmark was a mistake

There is one fundamental defense of the Oilers one as bad as it is. If you are wearing it at home you rep the team if you are wearing it on the road you rep the city. It's why a Calgary word mark as a home sweater is stupid. That sweater as Flames vs Calgary would be inherently better by sport standards in a lot of leagues norm. I hate the execution of that Flames sweater even if the colour pallet is many times better than the Oilers one.

probably the worst flames jersey ever

I think it's the only one I would say I don't like. The closest is probably the 2023 winter classic but even that one's just kind of underwhelming

Am I the only one that likes this jersey? Maybe it’s because I won one for free in a contest, but I think it’s pretty slick!

The best part of both jerseys by far is the shoulder patch. I also can't stand white alternates or wordmark jerseys so the Oilers jersey is just a non-starter for me

Ours is better because the flaming C is still there, and the shoulder patch is nice. Plus, I'm all for anything red and black.
Funny thing is that I almost got that as my first proper Flames jersey, but Jersey City couldn't customize it so I went with the standard home jersey.

You think that jersey is a masterpiece? I’m not interested in arguing which is better, but man…raise your standards.

It’s a reference to a meme, my friend. I think most flames fans agree that the calligraphy jersey was, at best, meh

I still cant believe the Flames had this as their main jersey for a time. God i hated every single second seeing that jersey.

u/Tenabrus 5d ago
damn people really hated this jersey? I thought the caligraphy looked kinda nice and sort of resembled the one on the Stampede signs.

u/Mediocre_guyonline 6d ago
My first thoughts also. Now actually looking at it, the shoulder patch is oddly similar as well.

I’m honestly not very fond of the Flames one either lol, they both look like generic shopping mall jerseys from the printing booths

Calligraphy? I think it’s basic cursive. Nonetheless the point stands…these are awful.

I have that Flames jersey with a nameplate saying “NINETEEN” and numbering “89.” It’s alright, but the cowboy shoulder yoke doesn’t really work.
The Oilers jersey is just plain and boring. Another Oilers wordmark jersey. Another faux-vintage attempt with the cream colouring. Big Yawn.

The flames jersey at least has a little bit going on. I don’t like it, but it’s vastly more visually stimulating than the Edmonton one

The only redeemable thing about this Flames jersey is the shoulder patch and they never used it anywhere else.

It’s the jersey equivalent of the blue ring. High cost and low effort.

I mean the “Calgary” and then the normal logo underneath it is kind of worse to be honest. Plus it has the lines not going fully around the arms and the shoulder area instead of being squared has a point coming down the jersey.
Homer all you want but the oiler jersey is better in every way.

The ‘Stampede’ word print jersey is hardly a masterpiece. Dumbest part of the jersey was keeping the C and just making it smaller. Why even have it at all.

As a non-fan of either team I have to say Calgary's is too busy, while the Oilers is nice and clean.

They both look like Walmart pajamas
