New Uniforms?

[Stevoman]

Is there any official word on new uniforms for teams next season due to new supplier? I'm totally happy with the Argos current uniform and am not looking for a change but was just wondering if anyone knew anything.

[R.J]

All new uniforms with Adidas now as the supplier, also Reebok owns the rights to the signature jerseys so those are gone as well. Commissioner Orridge brought up the new uniforms during his facebook interview.

just to clarify Adidas is owned by Reebok (they rebranded their football line to Adidas a couple years ago) so (unfortunately) its the same guys that designed the signature looks that will be designing the new Adidas unis in 2016.
Several major US college programs have recent Adidas looks (UCLA, Nebraska, etc)

To clarify the clarification, Reebok is owned by Adidas, not the reverse.

That explains a lot. The Reebok name was dropped from a lot of sports equipment this past year. For example, all of the hockey gear that Reebok makes now has CCM branding all over it.

The only pro sport I can think of right now where the Reebok name still persists is UFC gear and uniforms. That sponsorship is a complete fiasco right now. They recently released "official" gear that misspelled the names of at least three fighters.

Sad because ten years ago, Reebok had some of the most comfortable, durable and reasonably priced clothing out there. I had a pair of RBK DMX basketball shoes that lasted a full winter, a summer of brutal camping and half of the following winter. Completely waterproof. I paid $60 for them. Their trucker hats were incredible as well. It went downhill from there very quickly. Ever since they dropped the vector logo for that stupid red triangle thingy that looks like a symbol for some sort of Eastern European communist party.

Reebok has always SUCKED in my view. They over design stuff to the point where it looks stupid as hell.Strange that Adidas owns Reebok so really what changes. Hopefully the jersey's and merch are designed like Adidas did before when they had the CFL rights. They better not screw up the Argo colours.

I see the Argo signature jersey is 50% off on the Reebok web site. That is a sign that the signature jersey is dead. The current home and away are not on sale right now. I wonder if it will be a complete overhaul or just a light makeover?

They must have asked the fighters to spell their own names, how else can that have happened.

The teams will be choosing their home and away jerseys, while Adidas is likely to make any 3rd jersey. I think Toronto should keep rocking those white out unis because they look amazing, up there with WPGs royal blue and gold jerseys for best in football.

no third jersey next year at least.

WPG has confirmed they are going back to royal blue at home and white alts next yr.

[R.J]

Reebok has moved away from sport apparel, moving back to focusing on fitness apparel.

Doubt that's the case, Angelo. Some of those guys are engineers, professors and former politicians. :P

Winnipeg hasn't won a thing since they moved away from their classic royal blues after the '94 season. It can't hurt for them to try going back to those.

That is a shame. I am glad Winnipeg is going with it at least. Another jersey I wouldn't mind being a regular is the blacked out lions jersey... That Uni just looked mean.

Fans have wanted the Royal Blue's back for quite a long time, the team's excuse was that they didn't want to go with white away unis, because white isn't part of their colour scheme lol.

I used to like their homer blues with gold pants look in the Dieter Brock era.

Didn't all uniforms look much better in the 1970s and 1980s, AV? BTW, I caught a shot during either TSN's Grey Cup coverage or a newscast of some guy walking around Winnipeg in an old Montreal Concordes jersey. It still looked sharp!

[JBarnsley]

Classic jerseys are trendy again, everything comes in cycles. That is why so many people are calling for the boat logo to be on the helmet. Montreal should go with that Concordes look, while my Esks should go simple with no border around their numbers kinda like that ugly signature jersey that they messed up with the logo on the chest. I honestly just hope Adidas does well. Below is what the expected fit will probably be. Tight, clean looking jerseys.

Agreed on the Esks signature look. If they took the logo off the front and just put standard numbers there, they would look sharp. I hate logos on the front of the shirt rather than numbers. Shouldn't the US expansion in the 90's prove that it is a recipe for disaster? Argos, Memphis and Birmingham jerseys were horrible.
