“The logos and pattern inside the numbers were designed by a local artist from the LGBTQ2+ community, Megan Parker,” the Flames said about the redesigned logo. “The pattern has incorporated flora and fauna from the Alberta prairies and foothills and arranged them all in a soft and inviting pattern, loosely based on the same colour pattern as the pride flag.”

Pride Nights in other cities have come under a lot of criticism lately with players refusing to wear Pride jerseys and some teams bailing on them altogether.
Flames coach Darryl Sutter said all of his players will wear Calgary’s special jersey.
This has really hit home for many people.
something about seeing @tytoff16 in that rainbow jersey tomorrow will bring me hope in a whole new type of way
