30 best NHL jerseys of all-time

5. Calgary Flames

The Calgary Flames took their logo very literally when designing the flaming “C.” It is an eye-catching design, but it needs more to be fully impactful and that is exactly what this version does.

The simple addition of “Calgary” written in script above the “C” emblem makes this jersey much more visually pleasing because it is more than just a letter and a few flames. The logo design works extremely well shrunken down because it really does not have too many little details, making its smaller version almost seem intentional.

This jersey also includes a lot of little details that give it character. The should patches feature a “C” surrounded by sun rays, peeking out over mountains with the word “Flames” written plainly above.

Another detail that further contributes to the strength of this jersey overall is the letting used to distinguish leadership. They have further expressed their brand image in the font used by incorporating flames into the “A”. That is a creative way to further push the mascot without being over the top.

All in all this jersey is the best the Flames have ever had because it makes note of all the little details of the franchise that could otherwise go overlooked. Their past sweaters suffered from being too simple, but this version has just enough going on to keep people interested.
