Argos Merchandise

[Neely2005]

I guess it's too soon to ask where I can get an Argonaut poncho.
I want to be prepared for next season at BMO Field.

Hopefully we won't need them once they finish the roof over the seats at BMO Field.

Does anyone know if/where i can get Toronto Argonaut golf balls?, or club head covers?

http://www.cflshop.ca/CFL/Toronto-Argonauts has a driver cover. I've noticed that there have been quite a few new items added in the last couple of weeks so if you are patient, they just might get golf balls too!

With new owners come new Merchandise opportunities... About time.

There is a website called Ali Express, that you can buy Argos Jerseys from. The price ranges from $45-$55. I have bought 2 jerseys from this website and i have been happy with both purchases. Obviously they are not going to Authentic however for the price i was very happy with my purchases

Now I'm torn. I've been saving up to saw off my arm and get two jerseys from the Argos shop because I want to support the Argos, but instinct tells me to be frugal and just get them off Aliexpress.

I wouldn't buy a jersey this year, given the new supplier for next year and possible change to the uniforms.

New owners and new supplier. We could see big or small changes to the jerseys and uniform. Don't forget how the new president remarked how season ticket holders should get discounted jerseys, $100 off I believe. So for a financial standpoint, I would wait too.

Rumour is new uniform supplier is Adidas. Which is same as Reebok, but they rebranded as Adidas in NCAA ranks couple years ago. So don't look for big changes since it will be the same clowns designing the jerseys.

I would have preferred Nike or UA instead.

Anyone know where I can get TiCat toilet paper? On second hand it would most likely bung up our septic system.

I had no idea that they were the same company now. Adidas was great the last time they made uni's and merch for the CFL.

Just read some articles on Adidas which bought Reebok in 06. I guess Adidas isn't happy with the way US based Reebok is run. I guess they must be changing focus on Reebok and wanting the Adidas brand to break into the US market to snag some of Nikes market shares away. If our new uni's are designed by German based Adidas that would work for me. No one could butcher and over design anything like Reebok.

Basically trying to figure out big corporations and everything they own and how they run is a huge Cluster_ _ _ k. In all reality it is very few who own every friggin thing.

Anyone see this sale yet?

I think there's a 30% off back to school sale going on. You don't see the sale price until you put the item in the cart. Lots more CFL stuff in there too.

I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed here or not, but I'm beginning to think that the retail stores are not to blame for lack of Argos merch available. I walked into the Sportcheck in Maple Leaf square today, and was looking at the Arog gear they had. They had some home jersey's and signature jerseys along with t-shirts, polo shirts and hats....small quantities of everything but hats.

The person I was speaking to told me that the entire inventory they had was from 2014, and that the Argos didn't release anything in 2015 to the retailers, preferring to sell on line instead. Obviously this is the last bit of Braleynomics, as he likely doesn't want to pay to produce any more swag than he has to, so as not to take a loss on non sold items.

Once again, I really can't wait until 2016.

Totally agree with you. Another example is the Oyo Lego type figures. I believe the Ti-Cats had 9 different players available at one point but the only two I've seen for the Argos are Ray and Flutie. I assume each team has to submit which players they want made and how many to order, there is probably a minimum.

As an Argo fan and CFL fan, I am always frustrated walking by and into sports retail and they have zero Argo merchandise. I like to abuse and anger myself even more by asking staff where there Argo merchandise is. I always get the same blank deer in the headlights stare. Of course I will see the Cam Wake Miami Dolphins jersey. I don't know why I put myself through that.

I sure hope the new ownership gives a damn and tries to build something for the long haul. That has been the achilles heel of the Argos - ownership that is not committed financially or in for the long haul. Look at what Ottawa and Hamilton have, after many failed attempts like we have had. Theirs is the model to follow.

The team and it's legacy deserve nothing less than an all out, full on attempt to make this thing work over a minimum 5 year stretch. Maxing out on all areas of marketing, merchandising and buzz generation. The football should be better than good with Barker and Millanovich signed up.

HUG AND MALACHI CRUNCH ROGERS!!!

I agree. We have seen sustained marketing campaigns for a short period that seem to bear some fruit but then the owners run away as soon as times start to get a little tougher. We saw it with McNall and Gretzky in the early 1990s and then with C & S in the 2000s. With McNall, Gretzky and Candy, they marketed the hell out of the team in 1991 but when the team struggled in '92, along with the crumbling of McNall's financial house of cards, McNall and Gretzky couldn't abandon ship fast enough. C & S did well from '04 to '07 but again couldn't get out fast enough when the team's fortunes took a turn for the worse in '08.

We need ownership that is truly committed to the franchise over the long haul and I am hopeful that we will finally have it following this season.

You'd think the Argos would be able to market a Chad Owens and Andre Durie lego at the very least.

They probably could but my guess is Braley didn't want to put out the cost for the minimum amount of units. They may have to sell them over a couple years and he won't see returns after this year obviously.
