The Calgary Flames are bringing back their 1989 Stanley Cup jerseys

The Calgary Flames are kicking it old school for their third jersey and no, it doesn’t involve a flaming horse.

They’ve selected a look from the Lanny McDonald era – the same one they wore when they lifted the Stanley Cup in 1989.

The NHL did away with third jerseys last year, going with home and away uniforms only for one season following the introduction of Adidas as the league’s official jersey supplier.

Teams are now free to pick an alternate uniform, with many electing to go with a retro look.

The Flames will wear their retros 12 times during the 2018-19 season, beginning against the Vancouver Canucks at the home opener:

Saturday, Oct. 6 vs. Vancouver
Wednesday, Oct. vs. Boston
Saturday, Nov. 3 vs. Chicago
Thursday, Nov. 15 vs. Montreal
Saturday, Nov. 17 vs. Edmonton
Saturday, Dec. 22 vs. St. Louis
Saturday, Dec. 29 vs. Vancouver
Friday, Jan. 18 vs. Detroit
Wednesday, Feb. 20 vs. NYI
Monday, Mar. 4 vs. Toronto
Friday, Mar. 15 vs. NYR
Saturday, Apr. 6 vs. Edmonton
