    You would think the team/league and Reebok would sort this out amongst themselves before releasing the product, looks Mickey Mouse the way it shows now.

    I'm 99.9% sure your guess is right. Because of the colours it is not as noticeable but it is the same issue:

    You would think, it's a shockingly obvious mistake. For the player jerseys I guess they would use smaller letters for longer names so they fit?

But there is no excuse in the world why Reebok, the CFL or the team should have allowed 18-inch nameplates for short names like Ray and Durie. Again, I hope to hell the team is paying attention to this discussion and fixes the problem, because I doubt many people would buy a jersey with such an obviously wrong and ugly element marring the design.
    I have Argo home and away Jerseys (customized) and wouldn't buy this 3rd Jersey for that reason, again basic marketing snafu, also $229.00 for a customized jersey is beyond stupid IMO.

    any idea what skydome is charging to do up the blank ones? I was told that they are the only ones doing the light blue numbers (the letters look like the normal away lettering)...

    I can get the normal dark blue numbers and letters done in my hometown for $79...
