The logos look good however, they are used on the wrong colour helmets. The lighter blue boat version should be on a dark Oxford helmet, not a similar blue and the darker boat should be on a white helmet.

That hat bites (I hate the shield/porthole), but the boat logo on the helmet is boss (light or dark). Maybe it's just easier to ask the question who doesn't like the boat logo on either of the graphics.

I like the lower one a lot, and way more than the upper one. I really love the "water" in the lower logo, and I also prefer the way the A is rendered on that one. I don't love the white sail on the top one. The issue here IMO is that by removing brown from the football, we end up with an element (either the ball or the sail) that is the same colour as the helmet. I would rather have a single logo that works on any helmet, not one version for blue helmet and another for white.
Just reading the obit on Bruce Coulter (playing for Balmy Beach), that is too cool a name and historical property not to brand. They really gotta get Balmy Beach shirts to go with their other Pull Together branding.
Canadians don't market their history enough, remember those cool retro hockey jerseys, Winnipeg Falcons, RCAF Flyers, CFL needs to show a little of their history.
I don't disagree with the idea of marketing history, but I thought Balmy Beach was a team that played against the Argos so I'm not sure it makes sense to claim them as part of Argo history. Just as I don't think Hamilton should claim the Alerts as part of Ticats history (which they do anyway).
No, I know they were a separate team but I'm not above a little conflation. Let's not allow factual history to get in the way of a cool concept : ) Or maybe they could become like wearing a Nordiques jersey to a Habs game, an anti statement.
Balmy Beach, Sarnia Imperials, you don't get cooler names than that.
I am still waiting for all the awesome Toronto vs Canada stuff.
I went into Sport Chek at Stone Road Mall in Guelph before the Argo game and they have a rack of Argo clothing for half price. They are items from 3-5 years ago. Tank tops, women's tees, long sleeve men's tees, 3 different hoodies including a boat logo one, 3 pairs of pants (2 in large, 1 in extra large), 2 jackets (both medium). Nothing over XL and the only top in XL is a hoodie. Prices range from $15 to $50. Rack is at the front of the store and there's probably 20-30 items on the rack.
The Al's are doing something interesting this season with using 4 different logos (a different one each month) that honour the logos of the past. If the Argos were to do that, I'd like for them to keep their current jersey and helmet design but use the boat logo (July), the A logo (August), the Jason (September) and then the Shield logo for October onwards. This way, everyone gets to see a logo they enjoyed with the shield logo still used as primary.
Still nothing available on the Real Sports website. I wonder if/when that will happen?
Agree watched the als vid about this on cfl app. Like the “earn your wings” strategy which is why they are wearing blank helmets for now. Looking forward to delta logo on the field!
