    The equipment mgrs probably care, but haven't been given have the money needed to order new, correct stickers.

    Its not bad. I was really hoping the big A was not going to be on the front of the jersey, but its not as bad as I thought it would be, and its not like its going to be their regular jersey. Its different, and a little bit fun, which I guess its supposed to be.

    The jersey looks better with the complete uniform. I especially like the blue pants. I am warming up to the signature look. I find the authentic jersey looks decent, however the fan replica, not so much.

    Here's the thing. The logo on the new helmets is bigger, which is great news -- i always thought the current helmet logo is too small.

    But since they are bigger, I would assume they are new stickers. And yet they STILL have the wrong shade of Cambridge blue in the logo. There are 3 possibilities to explain this:

    1. They actually WANT the light blue color on the helmet logo to be different than the light blue on the unis. (possible but unlikely)
    2. Their helmet sticker supplier can't reproduce the proper blue colour. (highly unlikely)
    3. Inattention to detail/indifference on the part of Argo management. (probable)

    Very disappointing. Despite that, mark me down as loving the new unis. I've always had a weakness for dark blue outline on light blue numbers, that's how the Argo unis looked when I saw my first game.

    I agree on both counts.

    I too am glad that the stickers on the helmet are bigger and hope that they get transferred to our regular helmets. I would be curious to see what a stripe would look like on the blue helmet as well.
