Argos Merchandise

[AngeloV]

Where? The one at the Stockyards has nothing CFL as far as I can see. I am actually pissed off about this-- wasn't Sportchek started by John Forzani of the Stamps? I know it is owned by Canadian Tire, but it so pathetic that they don't have any CFL stuff.

Not a tonne of stuff, but below is the link for online.

Is that last year's Reebok merchandise with old CFL logo?

Most items are. There is not a lot of Adidas merchandise available at various sources yet. I did get an awesome boat logo t-shirt from Lids. https://www.lids.ca/toronto-argonaut...shirt/20857468

^Just ordered that boat logo shirt, it's a beauty!! - if you send to a store for pickup the shipping is free, maybe even avoid potential postal strike issues too.....

I went to the CNE before yesterday's Argo game and Hip Leather is back again this year in the same location with their CFL belt buckles. The only other Argo merchandise I saw for sale were Argo toques in a booth called Sports Apparel Clearance in the north side of the Enercare Centre (formerly the Direct Energy Centre). They also had Eskimos toques and pink toques with the CFL logo on them. The only shirts they had were BC Lions and Stamps golf shirts. Also in the Enercare Centre is a craft beer booth which has Lake of Bays Pigskin Pilsner draught which is brewed in association with the CFL Alumni Association.

Just a reminder to check out Hip Leather in booth 110 in the Arts, Crafts & Hobbies building at the CNE assuming they're back again this year. Last year, they had belt buckles for all CFL teams including the Renegades but not the Redblacks. The price is around $40-50 and they have 2 versions (silver & colour) for each team with the colour ones costing $5 more.

Where is that building located?

I know where the horse palace is and the food building, that's it.

It's just west of BMO Field.

Sad that all the CFL merchandise at the Ex is the same beltbuckles (who buys those these days anyways?) that you mention every year. Recall in my youth buying my first Holloway jersey and my buddy getting a sweet Brock jersey.

at least there's Merch to be bought. I loom forward to getting an Argos belt buckle and a new belt.

Unfortunately, the CNE is like the rest of Toronto where it's easier to find NFL than CFL merchandise to buy. Up until about 10 years ago, there was a Sports Zone in the Better Living Centre where the Argos, Leafs, Jays, and Raptors all had booths with merchandise for sale. Even the CFHOF would occasionally have a booth there. Hip Leather always seem to be busy and they have all sorts of belt buckles there including ones from other sports leagues, beer, car brands, rock bands, etc.

Where is [the Arts, Crafts & Hobbies] building located?

Immediately west of BMO Field. Here's a CNE Map -

Hip Leather may be cash only.

[BATKINSON001]

Hip Leather may be cash only.

there will probably be an ATM somewhere nearby.

In one of the old buildings attached to that new building (the whateverthefuckit'scalled centre) a few of the stores had some blank Argo jerseys, hats, t-shirts etc.

Found these guys after I left the Argos blowout in the third quarter.

Belt buckle was really sharp in colour.
I didn't buy it, but it was really nice.
They have the REDBLACKS this year btw.

[PullTogether73]

Am I the only one who finds the Argos merchandise at the games really boring and uninspired?
Hoodies, t-shirts, hats...all boring designs compared to previous years.
And the range of merchandise is small.
I was looking for decals and eyeblack stickers, which have been available in previous years.
Nothing.

I'm not impressed tbh.

I found 4 stores in the Warehouse Section of the Enercare Centre that sold CFL merchandise. Lids was one of them and they had several boxes of hats and toques for $6 each. I didn't look through all of the boxes but I did see hats from all CFL teams except the Argos. They also had a couple of Calgary and Edmonton mini helmets for $6 each. Another store had Argo and Grey Cup 101 toques for $17 each or 2 for $30. A store that sold mainly DVDs also had some CFL t-shirts and hoodies. Tees were $10 each and hoodies were $40 each. There were 2 different Argo shirts but no Argo hoodies. I did buy a nice hoodie that I've never seen before. It had the previous CFL logo with "FOOTBALL" on the front and CFL team logo patches on the sleeves. All 5 West teams on the right sleeve and all 4 East teams on the left sleeve. It's made by Waves and cost $50. The 4th store had all sorts of CFL children's clothing for every team.
