Guess we can just start wearing tennessee titans gear. They totally stole the double blue!
Anyone have any idea when the new "Pull Together" merch is launching? Don't recall seeing a date and I got sidetracked by the tailgate cancellation news.
Saw a bunch of Argos and CFL stuff at SVP sports on Queen West. Hats and training gear.
There may be some truth to this "rumour"...noticed on the Argos website that crested jerseys are no longer available. The only jerseys currently available on the website are home and away versions with an A on the front and ARGOS on the name plate as well as toddler and infant jerseys. I was hoping to be able to purchase a crested jersey (i.e. player name & number) or two at a discount...I wonder what became of them?
EDIT: I also just noticed that most of the Argo merchandise on the SportChek website says that it has been marked down (original prices are not shown) except for jerseys -- the only jerseys available via SportChek are blank jerseys though.

But, they shot all the promos and TSN spots during CFL week in Winnipeg with the current jerseys. Same jerseys with different brand logos would be unusual.
Don't be surprised if the Argos return to the Boat Logo within the next 2 years.
Unpopular opinion time: I think they should stay with the current logo permanently. The current logo has been used for 13 years now, it's distinct, recognizable, simple/to the point and just looks nice IMO. The boat logo can be used for other things, retro gear etc. but the current logo should stay. I guess I say that as a young person with no connection to the boat logo (became a fan during the Jason period) so I'll dodge the tomatoes from the older guys
I'll keep repeating it, 'til I get one : )
I'm on record a million times as favouring the boat logo, but I also like the current look and logo, and won't be sad if we keep them. I also like the design of the Jason logo, and some of the uniform touches of that era (especially the pants stripes with little shields) but of course the colours were wrong. Re-rendered in double blue, that era's logo would work just fine IMO.

I find the porthole logo (is that what it is?) lame as can be. The boat logo on the shirts posted above is relatively simple in colour and design and looks great on that shirt, JMO. I want one, MLSE are you listening? Petulant child here about ready for a meltdown if I don't get my shirt. : )
For me, the current or the boat - edge given to the boat.
(The current logo is a shield afaik - taken from the ugly Jason logo I believe.)
I hope they never go back to the plain "A".
Logo for the spelling impaired.
Leave those letter logos for teams that can't come up with something more creative than a letter (REDBLACKS, Roughriders, Eskimos, Blue Bombers). Yawn.
I think that 1980s boat logo is dated and cartoonish and amateurish and would be an embarrassment for any major sports organization in 2018. And I always thought the brown football clashed with our colour scheme.
But I love the idea of a boat logo -- my personal fav is the late-60s boat logo, but it is also dated and unsuitable today. I would love to see the pointy heads at MLSE come up with a beautiful new 21st century boat logo that we could all proudly get behind.
I like our current shield logo and uniforms (and the many possible combinations we see.) I think all teams should have a third jersey and ours should be the boat logo. Boat on sleeves for merchandising. The boat logo should replace the boring white "A" as our secondary logo. My fav logo is 1991-1994, but more for sentimental reasons as it was when I became a fan.
