Argos Merchandise

[Argo57]

Anybody notice the retro Argos cap MBT was wearing during interviews they showed between some plays on the TSN broadcast.

Circa 1990 blue corduroy with Argos written in white with the Argos word helmet of the time and the old CFL logo. I have that cap, still; traded for it with an Argo fan I ran into at Lansdowne back in the day (the similar one i gave up was just with the Argos helmet); MBT's looked shiny brand new though, so is it available now somewhere ? ;o)

Shown on the Realsports website but are sold out.

Sure we're talking about the same hat? I've looked at the caps there before, and again just now, and haven't seen it.

I'm pretty confident it's an original, not a reproduction.

That's not the one he's talking about. The one on Realsports is a new retro (and a very nice one) worn by Dinwiddie today. MBT was rocking a 1990 Argos script logo, corduroy, during his recorded interview. That one's not available anywhere now and has to be authentically from 1990. Along with OV, I also have that one.

MBT frequents vintage stores in Kensington Market I do believe!

Sure looked shiny new though Paul - maybe somebody had one mint/never used and gave it to MBT ?; mine is all faded to not near as dark blue as the original (washed it numerous times likely), with a few tatters. Glad to see that though - a current guy rocking some old CFL gear.

MBT has been rocking old-school Argo gear since last season. In the video segment about him for the upcoming rivalries show that Lebron James's company is producing, he is wearing a garish Argo t-shirt circa 1991-92. It's very cool to see him wearing this stuff.

Ah yes....the 90's! Everything was "Extreme", "X-Treme" or at least "Bold"....! Some horrendously ugly graphic designs back then.

Yes, he has mentioned that during media sessions. Hogie always asks about it.

MBT also has an original Argos Starter hooded jacket. It’s black, never seen it before and I was eyeing that piece as well but was ridiculously priced at like 300 something dollars.

I love that he wears lots of vintage Argos gear! This particular hat was the first one I ever owned. I've also seen him wearing a hat from 92 as well shirts from 91. I wonder if he has been able to get some of them from the Argo offices or something.

I have also noticed him wearing hats with his number on them. I wonder if that is just a random purchase he made, or if he is starting his own MBT merch line? I like Macbeth, so I would buy one!

He finds them in Kensington Market.

Was at Pro League Sports in the Beeches. They had about 5 or 6 varieties of ARGO caps in stock if you're looking for a new ARRGO Cap and looking to support a local business.

I have played on touch football teams with the owner of that store, Tex Thomas. Super nice guy and ran a legit 4.4 in his day.

I am needing an ARGO SWAG Upgrade. Glad I can do my cap upgrade at Pro League Sports in the Beeches. Owner is indeed a good guy and the ARRGO cap selection is excellent.

Had a stop-over at the island / Billy Bishop on Saturday - a bit of time to peruse the souvenir shop in the lounge: what sports gear would we find there ... Maple Leafs gear of course - caps, jersey, assorted other stuff (also some other NHL team caps); Blue Jays caps and stuff (also some other MLB team caps); Raptors caps, shirts, etc. Toronto FC gear prominently displayed; Toronto Rock - lacrosse team ??? - hats; and, also ... ZERO Toronto Argonauts (established 1873) gear ??? - hey, aren't they owned by a big sports machine right now ? I started to worry I might get busted in a Toronto airport for daring to wear an Argos cap - LOL.

Pathetic situation of course, that speaks volumes. Reasonable explanations welcome. But please, no sorry bean-counter / corporate weasel excuses. ;o)

Situation was almost equivalent store at Pearson (this one was sports themed). Leafs, Blue Jays and Raptors heavily featured and a few Argos stuff, but not many.

I found a bunch of points on my membership... was able to get a sweatshirt for Half price. Took a while to process but was a good deal... if you're at the game today ... or the playoff game ... might be worth checking out...
