Cool thanks for heads up. I'll check it out on my next day off.

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.

I've been told by someone within the Argos (and MLSE) that they've been talking about it quite a bit since Manning (and MLSE) took over, but I have no idea if it's the old logo they're talking about or modernizing it.

I'll have to dig up the pictures. But someone a few years ago posted on here an updated Boat logo on helmets. It looked awesome!
My thoughts are bring a modern boat logo back and wear it occasionally. Similar to Calgary and black and red helmets.
I'll post the pics when I find them.

It would be unwise to return fully to the old logo/uniform.
The Blue Jays and Maple Leafs have both returned to variations of old logos/uniforms in recent years so it would be in pattern with the thinking of the two other "old" franchises in the city.

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'm good with either the boat or the current. Just let's never go back to the Jason. Hated it.

I'll keep repeating it, 'til I get one : )

**paulwoods13** · 05-09-2018, 07:07 PM

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.

**rdavies** · 05-09-2018, 07:55 PM

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. : )

**PullTogether73** · 05-09-2018, 08:34 PM

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.

**ArgoZ** · 05-10-2018, 06:12 PM

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.

**Stevoman** · 05-11-2018, 10:41 PM

I like the current shield logo and uniform scheme (last year with the improved helmets was probably my favourite look over the last 30 years). If they were to go back to the boat logo it should definitely be modernized.

I am also wondering, where is the "in your face" toronto stuff that ambrosie was describing in the presser? I don't see anything here that really screams that.
