Argos Merchandise

[ArgoZ]

I actually bought one at the old Ravens Knit Outlet in Guelph back in the day. I wore that jersey out. That store was awesome for CFL merchandise.

I still have a white, authentic, player issue, 1995 jersey. Got it from a friend who worked for Starter in the States. Unique, maybe ugly, but a collectors piece.

I actually threw mine out. Still have my practise worn Ricky Foggie jersey laying around the house. Even has a spatter of Foggies blood on it.

Hmmm, I'd love for things to be on sale if adidas were on the way out but it's only been 2 seasons, I really have a hard time believing this to be true. If it does happen, I would like for the uniforms to be kept as is but adding in a retro uniform for one or 2 games per season would be cool.

I couldn't find anything about how long the Adidas deal was to be and am a little suspicious as well. Other than Nike and UA, are there any other possible brands? Puma making a comeback?

I have a game-worn Ken Walcott road jersey from 1995. It's surprisingly gigantic for a DB jersey.

[QUOTE=AngeloV;124305]I don't know what the commissioner has to do with anything concerning logo. That is 100% on the team.[/QUOTE I only mention it here because he played for the Argos and he has lived and worked in Toronto a long time now. He is in a unique position to add a lot of value in helping to market and brand the Argos versus the current mgmt team without the historical understanding.

I played a year of flag football with Ken Walcott. Good guy.

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.

Sounds good. I'm sure MLSE would enjoy the multiple sales that would come from that too. I do like the A logo but it is basic. The boat logo is unique and has creativity you don't see anymore. I think it could become iconic. If Drake wore boat logo gear could you imagine how quickly if would begin to sell.

The 1991-1994 helmet has grown on me.

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 wonder when Real Sports will stock Argos stuff? Their online store doesn't show anything-- is there any Argos gear in the actual store?

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 ?

[Will]

I bought this strange hat at the sports store on the 2nd floor of St. Laurent Shopping Centre in Ottawa. It's a cartoonish "A" with a trident sticking through it. I don't recall seeing it on any other merchandise. There was a small Argo logo on it too that gave it away.

The 1991-1994 helmet has grown on me.

I loved those uniforms, helmet included.

[Will]

I'm not a big fan of those away uniforms, but the home uniforms are nice.

This thread goes back to 2012; it's deja vu all over again, Yogi Berra

[Tipper1983]

Any word if this means another jersey or uniform redesign?

I had the same Idea and hope (boat logo maybe??) No word on any changes, however I didn't ask either. Apparently the new supplier will be New Era, I found that to be surprising for a few reasons but we shall see.

[paulwoods13]

OV's right, this "debate" has been held many times here. But since we all love it so much, let me repeat myself from the past. As far as the 1991-94 unis go, I liked the helmet logo and striping (prefer that A to the asymmetrical A of the early 1970s), disliked the lack of piping around the numbers, hated the tiny sleeve stripes, loved the road (Oxford Blue) pants, loved the pants striping and LOVED the road (Cambridge Blue) socks work in 1991. The striped socks worn 1992-94 were OK but to me the light blue socks from 1991 roads were a stroke of genius.
