Two teasers from New Era have been released. It's clear we are getting Cambridge Blue numbers (with piping) on both white and Oxford jerseys. I've been waiting for Cambridge numbers on the white jersey since we got rid of that look (Argos' best look ever, IMO) in 1980. Interested to see how the Oxford jerseys look, but based on the small teasers I think our jerseys are gonna look really, really sharp.

I really hope that, in addition to the new jerseys, they will roll out the full line of new merch by New Era. The Argo swag has been horrible the last few seasons.
Link to Argos twitter. Tweeted at 8:01 this morning. I can't embed the actual tweet. Damn office watchdogs.

It's us vs the rest of the country

Thanks Wobbler ( and good on AV for complying with office policies).... I think my fear has subsided....those uniforms look damn fine!
The addidas white jerseys that we've had the past few years were my favourite from any era and so while I can understand the excitement from this photo for the new jersey, I'm going to be missing what we had. I do like that the team seems to change every 7 years or so but I'm not ready to move on. On the positive side, when the Argos tweak their uniforms, they win the Grey Cup shortly after:
1991 - Introduction of the A on shoulders and helmets
1996 - Jason Logo on shoulders and helmet (fixing the awful 1995 first version of the Jason logo - no one was winning looking like that!)
2012 - Stripes on sleeves of jersey and first version of current look
2017 - Stripes added on helmets with navy face bar and introduction of the white helmet
Of the last 30 years, Jason logo is in the lead with 3 Grey Cups, A shield with 2, A logo with 1.
What's interesting is that if you zoom in and look at the numbers on the shoulders, barely visible in the photo, but it looks like the numbers are navy with the light blue piping like normal. So the numbers will be light blue on the front and back and the shoulders the opposite? I'm not sure if I've ever seen that before.
This looks slick:

I like the light blue numbers on white but not liking the blue on blue. My favorite Argos of all time was probably the 60's retros Reebok released when they had one (50's, 60's and 70's) every season.

If you zoom in, especially on a phone, it's easier to see that the numbers on the shoulders is opposite of the chest and back. This is the case for both the blue and the white jersey. I don't think I've ever seen that before and will reserve judgment until I see it on the players on the field.
Where can I see the uniform reveal today? Cannot find anything anywhere.... this is always frustrating.
CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!
