While it's debatable if the Calgary Flames are in the running for the best jerseys in the league, the team's official website had no qualms about showing a few of the players wearing ugly Christmas sweaters recently.

By the looks of it, the players had no issue with the festive clothing as well.

Heck, forward Brandon Bollig even wore a woman's sweater in the commercial and posted a picture his official Twitter page.

So, how did this happen? Well, it all started when mascot Harvey the Hound showed up with plenty of Flames sweaters in tow.

While Bollig's mishap was unfortunate, defenseman Dougie Hamilton sure seemed excited with the retro, big-logo-crew sweater. As for Markus Granlund, well, his crew sweater had him a bit tongue-tied while Sam Bennett took a more dignified approach.
