Quick question, is there any way to know what uniforms a team is going to wear prior to the game? For example what are the double blue going to be wearing today and is it possible to find out before you see them on the field?

CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!
Good question but I haven't seen them advertise in advance. I enjoy the various combinations this season though. Every look is sharp.
First win with the blue helmets this year. Today was my favourite uniform combination of blue helmet and pants with the white jersey.
Why on earth are we wearing whites at home?
For sure. I would have put on the blue shorts with the white jersey.... one day you'll see me at the game with a full on with equipment and helmet on . I just would like to know what they are going to do for each game. How is this all determined? I has to be in advance as Edmonton bought there home uniforms out east.
I agree with Paul would have like to see some Cambridge blue in the socks.... then this is a pretty amazing combination.

Now that the regular season is over, here's a breakdown of the uni combos:
All white was used most often, four times, all away games. Argos were 3-1 in this combo.
Blue helmet, white jersey, blue pants, Oxford socks was worn three times, all away games. 1-2 record.
White/Blue/White/Oxford worn twice, both at home. 1-1 record.
Blue/Blue/Blue/Oxford worn twice, both at home. 1-1 record.
White/Blue/White/White worn twice, both at home. 1-1 record.
White/White/White/Cambridge worn twice, home and away. 1-1 record.
White/White/Blue/Oxford worn once, away. 0-1 record.
Blue/White/Blue/White worn once, away. 0-1 record.
White/Blue/White/Cambridge worn once, at home. 1-0 record.
Among individual components:
Helmet: Blue 2-4, White 7-5
Jersey: Blue 4-3, White 5-6
Pants: Blue 2-5, White 7-4
Socks: Oxford 3-5, Cambridge 2-1, White 4-3
So if you were to subscribe to "dress for success," the optimum combo is likely white helmet, blue jersey, white pants and either Cambridge or White socks.
The one look I was really hoping to see -- blue helmet, white jersey, blue pants, Cambridge socks -- has not been tried yet.

Nice research Paul. Crazy that we have not seen the traditional blue helmet, blue jersey and white pants combo.
I liked the helmets today. Have we worn those before today? .... or maybe just live they seem to stand out with the light blue stripe.
I've wanted the Argos to wear white jerseys at home for years. We get to see more colourful unis on the opposition, and our whites always look sharp. Yesterday's look, with dark helmets and pants, is excellent. The one change that would make it close to perfect would be to add the Cambridge Blue socks. They've been worn only once this year, at the home game against Mtl but in that case it was with white pants.

So it appears no one knows how to find out in advance. That is disappointing. Is it the same for all teams I wonder?

Officials from the Argos read this forum. So here's an idea for them to consider: put the uni combo for each game (jerseys, pants, helmets) in the Game Notes that get distributed online the day before the game. I personally don't mind being surprised (as long as it's not an ugly combo like the white pants/white socks look) but some fans would like to co-ordinate their own outfits with the team's outfit.

Great idea, Rich, but any such poll needs to include socks as well. They're hugely important imo. I love all of our colour combinations but absolutely detest the "pyjama bottoms" look (when pants and socks are the same colour).
