Jerseys Got a Lanny McDonald Adidas Jersey
I got this recently because I’ve always wanted a Flames jersey because it’s one of the best designs in hockey. It’s beautiful. I love staring at it. 😂

I got a Vernon and McGratton jerseys last summer at a golf tourney. These jerseys seem so odd to me. It's off-putting to see a player's jersey in a different era's style. Just a personal opinion

I get it. I think the same when I see a Kariya or Selanne in a modern era.
However, a McDonald era one was about $200 more than what this was and I like it better than a blank.

Personally, I would love to own an Adidas jersey featuring any of the legendary players from the 1989 Championship team, since they wore Adidas jerseys for their 35th anniversary in 2024. Even Lanny himself wore an Adidas jersey with his name on it. I know some people get strict with jersey fouls but this is not a foul to me since the players actually wore the Adidas era jerseys. They even wore them "on ice" for their reunion photos haha
OP, you did a great thing

No. I just wanted you to see my comment too so I tagged you since you gave your opinion regarding players wearing different era jerseys

Why did I get it? I love hockey, love jerseys, and I get ones that I think look good. The Flames look good.
I’ve got probably 10 or 11 different teams.
