On that note listened yesterday to TSN 1050’s (Scott MacArthur) talking about the recent success of Toronto’s “winter” franchises (Leafs and Raptors) and recent TFC Championship and.........no mention of the Argos Champioship in November?
I stopped listening to 590 about 6 months ago as I was sick of the Argonaut bashing on that station but in all honesty 1050 isn’t much better (especially considering they own the TV rights).

I started at Carleton in the late 1980s but wish I had found that lost cap of yours, OV.
My favourite uniforms would have to be the late 1970s road ones that Paul has mentioned. I know that I am in the minority but I loved the baby blues of the mid-1970s which is probably because those were the unis they wore when I first started watching the Argos. I don't have any issues with the current uniforms though and they do harken back to the late 1960s and early 1970s Argos.

It's called giving a $#!t. And until new owners and management prove to me that they do, IE- something other than tarping over seats, I will believe it when I see it. The best thing Bill Manning can do is hire someone to actually run the Argos on a day to day basis who does give a $#!t. Because I really don't think his passion lies with the Argos to give them the day to day attention they deserve and have been starving for for years.
GO ARGOS!!!
Does anyone know where I can purchase Argo merchandise and have it sent to the States? Not having much luck simply with the usual search engines. Thanks.
Where would they get the merchandise? Would they order a ton of products to stock in a store, and have it sit there unsold when the season had just ended? Makes little business sense to start stocking merchandise now, after the MLSE deal, when Argos are in offseason. As much as we’d all love to see the Argos everywhere, I know it won’t sell now and I’m willing to be patient to see what new products (new manufacturer?) are available before the season rather than see old stock put out for the sake of it - unless deeply discounted.
FWIW I was just in Calgary and didn't much much merch either.

Sports Chek in Oshawa has an impressive display of "Adidas" Argos merchandise. As far I can tell, more than the Bills have and about equal to the Bills + NFL merchandise. That is the first time I have seen that. Something is new here.
I suspect they'll need to discount the Bills QB "Taylor" jerseys soon.

Merchandise is available online, wouldn’t you think they’d have at least some selection at a retail store that features Leafs, Raptors, TFC and Blue Jay merchandise?
At the very least it would remind fans that are attending events at the ACC that MLSE has a professional football team in the family.
Is anything confirmed in regards to a potential brand change in Argo merch?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Argo merchandise will be available on the Realsports website sooner or later. Not sure what the delay is, but they have Marlie stuff there. I'm pretty sure that's not a huge seller. Just give it time.
GO ARGOS!!!
