awful!!! not the uniforms, the fact you twitter. ;] . seriously though, not feeling them. the flat black looks too snowboard helmet like. And as I stated already, it makes me think of a seahawks uniform for some reason. Lions fans seem to love them though, sounds like they will be hot sellers.
I hate them! Maybe they wanted more aggression as a famous study from the 1980s showed teams wearing black in a variety of leagues took more penalties. That study provoked many teams to go to black uniforms subsequently. However, the Lions took a lot of stupid penalties tonight that could have cost them the game. Oh well, they will probably boost their merchandising sales though which is probably what they were shooting for more than anything.
I predict the Argos will look way better in their alt.unis on Thursday.
I hate all-black, especially in what will soon be a nine-team league with three (!) teams featuring black prominently. And I hate unitards, i.e. pants and jerseys the same colour. The matte helmets were kind of cool on a one-off basis, but they better not go to those regularly. And Calgary really, really needs to get rid of the black helmets next year and go back to red helmets and grey/silver striping on the unis. Of course it won't happen.
A bit too much of Darth Vader for me, but the Lions fans seem to love them, and that's what counts, especially for merchandise sales. Let's see how long they stay undefeated in their new unis.
Hate them. Look like a Halloween special.

I was not a fan of them either.
It is funny how B.C. fans seem to love them but they have gotten a lukewarm response, at best, from fans of other teams.Quote:

I can't figure out why TSN sportscentre was gushing over them...I thought they stunk also. Black numbers with a light trim on top of a black jersey is as stupid as stupid gets...surprised the play-by-play caller did not complain about that.
The Lions traditional Orange at home is one of the best jerseys in Football imo.
Actually, Duane Ford asked Matt Dunigan and Gordon Miller about it, they started using different methods to try to identify players because they were unable to read the numbers.Quote:
