New third jerseys/unis

[BATKINSON001]

Only way I will get one is to use my season ticket holder discount on sunday... if I do pony up the extra cash, I might get a Durie... otherwise just a blank.

For anyone that wasn't at the game last night or missed it:

I posted this in the game thread: The new uni is going to look very good, IMO, except for the vertical stripe on the socks. But if you are listening, Argos, the numbered jerseys for sale in the store need to be fixed -- the nameplates are way too big, extending over the dark blue sleeve striping and ruining the effect. Much as I don't need another jersey, I might actually buy one of these, but not with an oversized nameplate.

In my opinion, it looks like the name patch was slapped onto the jersey, not professional looking at all. I didn't mind the jerseys until I saw the back of them with the nameplate.



Anybody know if the jerseys are available in youth sizing?

Didn't take a close look at the jerseys last night at the stadium, noticed the sloppy nameplate on Argoshop, assumed it was a quick mockup, I actually like the Jersey and always customize mine but won't bother with this one if that's the way it looks, especially at the bloated price.
These are the type of details that this team should be paying close attention to, these jerseys obviously represent the organization and should look as such!!

the player ones are perfect, no slapped on name plate, it is cut to size.

not a fan of the jerseys...i wouldnt mind it if that big A on the front of the wasnt there, but large logos like that dont look good on football jerseys...

Exactly what matchuk said!

Might buy one in Value Village for $10 in a few years.

$230 is the most I have ever seen for a football jersey. I can buy an older gameworn jersey for that price.

The average authentic replica sports jersey, costs under $10 to manufacture in Taiwan and like countries. The stitching, (name and number), costs about double that if done in Canada. All in, that jerseys actually costs $30 MAX to produce. That's $200 profit.

We all complain about marketing and merchandise availablility. How can we expect to see Argonaut paraphanalia when it costs almost 3 times the price of a $79.99 NFL jersey? SMH

Plus it looks like a steaming pile of shite.

Just saw the Riders one, hahaha. CRAAAAP!! But Rider fans would buy a tee shirt that had green puke tossed over it. It doesn't even matter what colour of green. Bad Mexican salsa verde yacked over a white tee and Rider fans would wear it.

[BATKINSON001]

I am still getting one despite what you all think. I like the logo on the front as it showcases the team before the player. Also didn't the argos have a helmet logo that was just the A as well? Also if I ever got it done up, would it look better with the dark blue numbers and letters from the normal white jersey? I have also noticed that the jersey used in the Breakfast television clip didn't have a name plate on the back, so I am hoping it is optional, as the jersey looks 100 time better without it.

[1argoholic]

It would look better with glitter numbers.

Wow, that is brutal. For the price of the jersey how is that detail overlooked? Even if I liked the jersey I wouldn't purchase it looking like that. Though, I have to say the final product does look a lot better than the teaser pictures.

That's why I hope the plate is optional... I will know for sure on sunday when I am at the dome. The player jerseys have it cut to size, the fan ones should too or not have it at all IMO.

Ya, and cut it up and use it as paint rags. It looks a little fluffy and "light in the cleats" for my tastes ... needs a more meaness.

good thing it is just an alternate then and not their normal one...

it makes sense to me that since my first Argos jersey was an alternate (light blue clemons #31) that my last argos jersey also be an alternate.

I have to say I'm surprised by how little love there is on here for this new uni. I think most elements of it are very sharp, and it is by far the best alt they have come up with. Last year's were disappointing in that they did not completely replicate the 1980-88 jerseys, despite coming close -- the logo was in the wrong place. Two of the three before that (the 1950s and 1970s versions) were absolutely abysmal, and the 1960s look was OK but missed the mark in a number of ways.

To me, the Signature look scores highly on virtually every aspect. The only real misses are the socks striping and the lack of consistent font -- it appears there are three fonts: one for the numbers, one for "Pull Together" and one for "Toronto." I would have preferred a light blue facebar but the helmet is nice even with the dark bar. The pants look very cool.

However, as I said above, the ones for sale in the store and online need to be altered to have the nameplate cut inside the dark blue piping. Otherwise it makes the jersey look like a piece of junk. I sincerely hope someone from the team is monitoring this forum and gets that change made, because for a few of us that nameplate is a complete deal breaker.

[ArgoGabe22]

I'm not crazy for the jersey but I will say it looks much better along with the helmet and pants. On its own, not so much. I actually prefer the the 60's white retro compared to this one.

I'd be very pissed if I dropped big bucks on that jersey and had a name put on the back and it looked like that Ray jersey.

Only the Argonauts would put a finished product like that online then scratch their heads as to why people aren't buying, simple for $229 you expect more than the home made nameplate on the back.

exactly, they should be making them cut to size, it would justify the extra cost on top of what it would normally cost for names and numbers.
