One thing we know is that MLSE seems to have great appreciation for logos and uniforms of the past, at least where the Leafs are concerned. It would be great to see the boat logo used once or twice a year as an alternate look. I have grown to really like the current logo and look, so I'm not keen on throwing it away entirely. I'd also be in favour of resurrecting parts of the 1996-2004 look, but with the correct colours (i.e. Cambridge Blue instead of "slate green"). That was a good logo, and the pants striping, with the shields, was cool. So maybe we could have two alternates: boat logo and recoloured Jason.

Hopefully, because the last group (whether Milanovich, Copeland, or ownership?) were superstitious and never wanted to revisit the boat logo retros after Ray went down vs Calgary.

Copeland wasn't with the Argos in 2013-15, so it seems unlikely he was superstitious about this. Braley didn't care enough to be superstitious. So maybe Milanovich and/or Barker. Copeland mentioned at a fan forum last spring how much he liked the boat logo as a kid growing up, when his dad worked for the team. Yet for whatever reason the logo became only a very secondary element, appearing on a few hats and t-shirts but nothing else the past couple of years.

I have about a dozen different Argo hats. Most of them have the big "A" of some description on the front, including one off to one side. Not crazy about any of them. I also have one with the word "argonauts" written across the front, and one with the boat logo. They are my two favourites. But to each his own.

I have around a dozen Argo caps too - and most of them are fairly recent with the current A shield logo; but i do have a Jason logo hat; an old real (not cartoonish) boat logo hat that was made as a retro by Robert Edwards (?) company; that all-time best logo is a bit small on the cap for my liking but it's still beauty ?; also an old Argos on the helmet (circa 90?) logo corduroy cap (traded for that one with an Argo fan at Lansdowne) = my oldest Argo cap ...

... but way back, I had some sort of boat logo - cartoonish variety - Argo cap - that I believe i left in a class-room at Carleton U - circa early 80s. Ravi - you didn't find it, did you ?

I started at Carleton in the late 1980s but wish I had found that lost cap of yours, OV.

My favourite uniforms would have to be the late 1970s road ones that Paul has mentioned. I know that I am in the minority but I loved the baby blues of the mid-1970s which is probably because those were the unis they wore when I first started watching the Argos. I don't have any issues with the current uniforms though and they do harken back to the late 1960s and early 1970s Argos.
