    Is there a home/away style(s) that the team generally defers to? It may be worth adding that to your columns to break it down for posterity.

    Not sure I know what you mean. There seems to be no pattern whatsoever this year. They have worn different combos at home and on the road, including white jerseys at home which has been exceedingly rare until this year.

    no pattern then, that's all I was trying to discern from your chart. Very well & thanks. I would, personally, like to see more of a pattern. I like the dark helmets the most but other than that all I knew was they were changing things up and awful lot.

    I support the changing-things-up-regularly theme the Argos have employed this year.

    They didn't wear white helmets in 91-94, did they? Correct me if I'm wrong, but until recent years the last time the Argos wore white helmets was in 1968.

    That's correct, Rich. I misspoke. It's really the pants/socks look I'm most concerned about as I like both of our helmets with either jersey.

    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.

    Paul also knows the thread count of the different coloured Argo jerseys.

    So what will we be wearing for the Eastern Final against the Riders? My guess is white pants and helmet with oxford jerseys. I hope they wear the cambridge socks but I would say they will not.

    My first choice would be blue helmet, white jersey, blue pants, Cambridge socks. Second would be blue helmet, blue jersey, white pants, Cambridge socks.

    Haven't seen either of those looks this season.

    If they are going on the results to date for each component, it will white helmet, blue jersey, white pants, Cambridge or white socks.

    I'm guessing they will be wearing Blue helmets this week. The photo I saw from yesterday's practice had them wearing the blue helmets, and they've worn the same helmet on game day that they have worn on practice week leading up to every game this season. I hope they go blue head to toe this week. I love that look.

    Dear God, please no! Some contrast somewhere, even if it's just the socks. I detest the pyjama look.

    I don't see it as a pyjama look. I see it as a menacing look, and I love it.

    You and me both. All oxford looks great, I'd also like to see maybe some Cambridge blue socks added to the look.

    How about the classic Oxford blue helmet and jersey, white pants and Cambridge blue socks? If not, then all Oxford with Cambridge socks (menacing, with a touch of class...).

    I too saw practice footage this week with the blue helmet so that's likely what they'll wear. It's my favourite Argo helmet of all time so i'm good with it. Would like to see it with the blue jersey and white pants though as that hasn't happened all year.
