Only took 15 minutes or so -- I just went through the News section of the Argo website which has recaps of each game. I'm gonna try to maintain this database going forward.

I support the changing-things-up-regularly theme the Argos have employed this year.:hug:
Now that the regular season is over, here's a breakdown of the uni combos:
All white was used most often, four times, all away games. Argos were 3-1 in this combo.
Blue helmet, white jersey, blue pants, Oxford socks was worn three times, all away games. 1-2 record.
White/Blue/White/Oxford worn twice, both at home. 1-1 record.
Blue/Blue/Blue/Oxford worn twice, both at home. 1-1 record.
White/Blue/White/White worn twice, both at home. 1-1 record.
White/White/White/Cambridge worn twice, home and away. 1-1 record.
White/White/Blue/Oxford worn once, away. 0-1 record.
Blue/White/Blue/White worn once, away. 0-1 record.
White/Blue/White/Cambridge worn once, at home. 1-0 record.
Among individual components:
Helmet: Blue 2-4, White 7-5
Jersey: Blue 4-3, White 5-6
Pants: Blue 2-5, White 7-4
Socks: Oxford 3-5, Cambridge 2-1, White 4-3
So if you were to subscribe to "dress for success," the optimum combo is likely white helmet, blue jersey, white pants and either Cambridge or White socks.
The one look I was really hoping to see -- blue helmet, white jersey, blue pants, Cambridge socks -- has not been tried yet.
Nice research Paul. Crazy that we have not seen the traditional blue helmet, blue jersey and white pants combo.
So what will we be wearing for the Eastern Final against the Riders? My guess is white pants and helmet with oxford jerseys. I hope they wear the cambridge socks but I would say they will not.
My first choice would be blue helmet, white jersey, blue pants, Cambridge socks. Second would be blue helmet, blue jersey, white pants, Cambridge socks.
Haven't seen either of those looks this season.
If they are going on the results to date for each component, it will white helmet, blue jersey, white pants, Cambridge or white socks.
I'm guessing they will be wearing Blue helmets this week. The photo I saw from yesterday's practice had them wearing the blue helmets, and they've worn the same helmet on game day that they have worn on practice week leading up to every game this season. I hope they go blue head to toe this week. I love that look.
I too saw practice footage this week with the blue helmet so that's likely what they'll wear. It's my favourite Argo helmet of all time so i'm good with it. Would like to see it with the blue jersey and white pants though as that hasn't happened all year.
Here's the final tally, including postseason and regular-season games:
All Oxford was worn four times (3 home + Grey Cup): 1-1 in season, 2-0 in postseason.
All white was worn four times (4 away): 3-1.
Blue helmet, white jersey, blue pants, Oxford socks was worn three times (3 away): 1-2.
