They have wore all white, sans helmet, many times since I have been a fan. I guess this means white helmets too?

Is this the punishment for Laing's rough play on Saturday? "The offending player is hereby ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, and the team required to wear goofy uniforms during their next match"?

As if there wasn't enough reason to watch an Argos game.
I CAN't miss this!

I hope the new uniform supplier next year does a good job with any changes.
The signature uniforms last year were awful.

Agreed on the jersey's, but I rather liked the helmets. Looks like those are the ones they will be using Sunday.

Number 22 in that picture was the Great Dick Shatto.

I love the all whites. It makes them look faster.

I hope that works ...... (big grin)

I thought the all white with blue helmets that they were last season in Edmonton looked sharp (if only once or twice a season as I agree, the white with blue pants is their best look). Not sure how it will look with white helmets but maybe it's because there is so much smoke in Saskatchewan right now, the white helmets will be more visible in the hazy air!!!

so will they be wearing the 60's retro jerseys from a few years ago then?

**paulwoods13** · 06-30-2015, 09:59 AM

It's not clear if we are wearing the "A" jerseys or our regular white road jerseys with just the helmet changed. I'm not generally in favour of different helmets for different uniforms but I do like our white alt helmet and I'm open to seeing how this overall look comes off.

The Roughriders' all-white "storm trooper" look the past couple of seasons was generally loathed even by their own rabid fan base, but I thought it looked kind of cool as an occasional change of pace.

Storm Trooper look? Nuh-uh! i refer you to post #10 of this thread.

I'm very sure Reebok will make the jersey's look crap in only the way Reebok can. It'll have stripes that don't belong or the wrong colour of blue. Oh can't forget Reebok on the front and sleeves. Miss the Adidas days.

Are there third jersey's this year? This doesn't classify as that?

**paulwoods13** · 06-30-2015, 11:31 AM

I don't believe we will see any new third jerseys this season. The Reebok contract ends after this season and there are reports circulating that Nike will get the contract in 2016, which likely means a full-scale change for all teams again.

I thought that it was Adidas, Paul, that was rumoured to be getting the new contract. If so, I wonder if we will be seeing Adidas Friday Night Football once again, although Wendy's seems to be doing okay as the title sponsor of that game currently.

Blue bomber talk says it's nike, Didier Orméjuste says it's adidas (which owns reebok).

**paulwoods13** · 06-30-2015, 01:39 PM

Either way we will get new unis, I suspect.

I've just been digitizing games from 1999 and came across that great Adidas commercial shot at Ivor Wynne where two "vets" are trying to explain the intricacies of Cdn football to a wide-eyed rookie. "The rouge?"

"Hey coach! They're doin' it again!"

I'll post that to YouTube one of these days.

Do you happen to have the commercial of "The Argos" practicing where a new American returner was on the field and guys were joking about whether they should tell him that there is no fair catch rule and then the commercial shows him calling for it, catching it, and getting clobbered? I'd love to see that one again...
I think there was another one of guy getting his tongue stuck to a frozen goal post and the commercial ends with "Texans, fall for it every time!" Those commercials were great.
