    Argonauts Uniform Combinations?

    So far this season has been all blue at home and blue pants with white jersey and blue helmets for away games.

    Now, these might be my two favourite looks that they have and I especially love the blue helmet but I am just wondering if anyone knows why they are not using the white helmets or white pants anymore?

    I enjoyed the variety last season.

    I like the dark blue on blue but the white helmets are cool too. Just dont bring back those white jerseys with the big fat "A" on the front. Looks awful. Football uniforms should have numbers on the front, dont mess with tradition

    I have no idea why they have gone the way they have so far, but I am really hoping we never again see the all-blue look from the past two home games. IMO it is the second-worst option they have. Last year they did all kinds of variations, and the only one I liked less than B/B/B/O was W/W/W/W.

    I wish the Argonauts would stop using white as a primary colour for uniforms.
    They are known as "The Double Blue" for a reason.
    Use both blues as the primary uniform colours - as they used to do. White can be an accent colour.

    And please don't say that you like the white uniforms. You'd be missing the point entirely.
    E.G. The Chicago Bears white jerseys look good with their navy pants for away games. But the Bears team colours are navy and orange. They should be using those. Same with the Chicago Blackhawks - red and black.

    With the advent of colour tv back in the 1960s, the need for white uniforms ended long ago.

    But I like the white uniforms . . .

    Seriously, although the official Argo colours are Oxford Blue and Cambridge Blue, white is necessary IMO. Unis with two primary colours (like B.C.'s home unis) and no white at all are uniformly ugly, IMO. Argo unis with only two shades of blue would be far less attractive than unis with the two blues and a significant amount of white, for contrast as well as accent.

    I just don't like the same colour jersey and pant combinations. I prefer the dark jersey with white or light pants for home games and the white jerseys with dark pants on the road.

    And I hate the way teams have taken to printing the city or team name above the numbers on jersey fronts. I don't like the way the additional letters busy up the jersey fronts. I prefer a clean presentation. Besides fans are already supposed to know which team they're watching from the team logos and jersey colours!

    Speaking of unis, I noticed last night that Argos were wearing only one sponsor patch (WFG), and you could see on Franklin's jersey where a second sponsor patch had been removed. Anyone know if we are getting a new second sponsor patch to replace whatever was removed?

    I agree that for the Argonauts, white as an accent colour is a good route to go (I prefer that their numbers be framed in a third colour), but not as a primary colour.
    Use white as the accent, but flip the Cambridge and Oxford blues as the dominant colours for two uniform options.

    Did you see that ALL of the western teams are getting the same two sponsor patches?
    I can't remember who are the companies, but I am intrigued that they got their patch on all of the western teams only.

    It looked like CP sponsorship label was removed after the last home game against Edmonton?

    Argos have the nicest uniforms in pro football IMO.
    The all white and all blue combos not as nice.

    I really liked the straight orange jerseys the Lions had two years ago:



    It was a clean classic look, but of course for whatever reason they were somehow compelled to make a change.

    Ah!
    A little white to frame the numbers and one or two white stripes on the sleeve and voila! The perfect Argos second jersey.

    Does anybody have one of these to sell in size L or even XL btw?

    IMO the best looks the Argos have involve (a) contrast between the pants and jerseys, and (b) socks that are different colour than the pants. The worst looks involve (a) no contrast between top and bottom, and (b) socks the same colour as the pants (pyjama look).

    Ideally, they would wear Cambridge Blue upper socks at all times, but especially with the Oxford (road) pants. The white pants should be accented by Oxford or Cambridge upper socks, never white uppers.

    Can't go wrong with either helmet (if we even still have the white ones) but IMO white helmet should be worn with white jersey and blue helmet with blue jersey.

    Agree with everything you said except about the all white combo. Totally don't like all blue combo at all.

    I think the CFL could go with a soccer-style "clash" system, there's no need for white jerseys anymore since colour TV and especially HDTV/4KTV are a thing. Each team wears their "main" (colour) jersey at home, and the road team also wears their main jersey unless there's a "clash" ie. red vs. red, then, the road team wears a secondary.

    But then again I think the Argos' white jersey is one of the best in the CFL, if not all of football. I'm conflicted
