Argonauts Uniform Combinations?

[Argo57]

I don't know how you are determining what the "right" light blue is. The official team colours are Oxford (dark) and Cambridge (light) blue. Whether the team uses the actual pantones for either colour, who knows? There is little doubt, though, that the "light" blue has had many variations in the uniforms over the years. IMO the jerseys introduced in 2012 had the closest we have seen to the actual Cambridge Blue, which has quite a greenish tinge. But the current "Cambridge Blue," however close it is to the pantone, looks just fine to me. Ideally colours should always match between the helmets, jerseys, pants and socks, but there have been countless examples of teams whose jersey colours do not really match their helmet colours.

As for "Duran" Carter, I agree about the socks. But as for the untucked-in jersey, every single player in the league does not tuck his jersey in. Jerseys haven't been tuckable for years. Some guys just wear them with a sloppier look than others (like Wilder and Carter).

Duron Carter and SpongeBob appear to have identical leg day workouts at the gym👍
Argos have always had the nicest uniforms in pro football IMO until this season, personally I think they look like crap.
1991 uniforms with the new updated Boat Logo on the helmet and slightly wider stripes on the sleeves would do the trick!

The complete uniforms look fine, sometimes very sharp. I’ve decided that overall I don’t like them because they don’t look or feel like the Argonauts I’ve followed my whole life. It feels like 1995 and out of place. The blue numbers are too dark, not the right shade of blue. As for the jersey winner, is it that hard to grab a heat pressed (no they are not stitched) Derek Walker jersey for the guy?

If game jerseys do not have stitched numbers, things must have changed since preseason. I looked at them closely at Varsity and they were stitched. I don't think Argos have had hot-pressed numbers since 2004, and I suspect they were the last CFL team to go to stitched numbers.

Authentic jersey numbers are stitched. I was referring to the replica jerseys for sale which are heat pressed and the blank one awarded to the contest winner last game.

I looked at your picture references. You peaked my interest, so I did some research. I would say 90% players are tucked, certainly at the start of the game. By the end of the half, probably 50%, maybe less since they are so short now. You’ll notice that the ones that aren’t in your references are from live game shots in which the jersey likely came out. Authentic's have the tag just like the replicas do in the bottom corner and that is the giveaway that they are untucked. The Williams picture you provided is an illusion. He’s wearing a hand warmer, or something similar, which looks like an untucked jersey.

I learned that Carter actually had a white undershirt that hanged past his bottom and was not his jersey. Still looked sloppy.

You’ll notice that the ones that aren’t in your references are from live game shots in which the jersey likely came out. There is different cuts to jerseys and the tight fitting WR ones are noticeably shorter than other years, but they do have the tag just like the replicas do in the bottom corner and that is the giveaway they are untucked. The Williams picture you provided is an illusion. He wearing a hand warmer, or something similar, which looks like an untucked jersey.

We just fundamentally disagree on this, I guess. I'd bet it's closer to 90% that don't tuck their jerseys in. I doubt Williams would be wearing a hand warmer in summer. I think what is visible below his jersey is an undershirt -- if so, that would confirm he didn't tuck. Obviously none of this matters, and clearly we both want players to look good and to have a degree of uniformity in the uniforms.

I can barely wear a gameworn jersey on its own. I'm not sure how anyone can tuck it in with pads on. Although kickers seem to have a longer/looser fit.

Fascinating how a team whose colours date back to 1873 could so loosely apply them to their uniforms these days. Judging from the Lions-Argos pics, that shade of Cambridge is waaay too strong. Isn't Cambridge Blue a very pale sort of powder blue?

Pressed numbers are an abomination! Jersey numbers are properly stitched, even on replica jerseys! All mine are stitched, each and every one.

While those may be the traditional Oxford and Cambridge blue colours, they look awful - particularly the Cambridge. I'm glad they're no longer used.

The colour names are reversed, perhaps intentionally? (i.e. Cambridge is actually the light colour, not the dark.) This Cambridge is close to what I think the real pantone looks like -- it's much more of a green than a blue. I think what we are using now looks more attractive, but the greenish Cambridge we used from 2012 to 2018 also looked fine as part of the pants/jerseys striping.

Oh well, we may be 1-and-9 but at least we finally got contrasting pants and jerseys today, and boat helmets to boot. Too bad we didn't go for the perfect look, tho -- Cambridge socks were all that was needed for that.

I agree with you 100%. Man it was good to see that boat logo. Needs to come back full time.

Yay for that anyway. Not much else went right.

Surprised to see the boat logo again against Ottawa actually. Thought it might be a throwback for Labour Day only. I'm probably in the minority here but I never liked that helmet logo and probably never will. It bothers me less now because I know how happy it makes a lot of people here.

Pretty sure they are keeping it for the month of September.

Brilliant uniform again. Please keep this full time. Cannot express how much I love the boat logo.
