New third jerseys/unis

[paulwoods13]

Looks as if we are getting white helmets on Aug. 17. Already speculation that we'll get Cambridge Blue jerseys and the Lions will be wearing their abysmal "gun metal black" ones that night.

The helmets look good.

[ArgoGabe22]

I like the white helmets but it just seems like the logo doesn't fit well with the white. Just seems off.

[AngeloV]

I'm not a fan of just plain white helmets with the logo on the side. Should have a blue stripe down the middle.

[Wobbler]

Something less old-school might have been nice. Why not use a scannable VR code logo (linking to Argonauts.ca, of course)?

[Qman]

i believe the lions have said they are wearing there gun metal unis in toronto and at home to ssk this season.

so the argos might be all white.

Personally I really liked BC's onyx jerseys from last year and I think an Argo version would be pretty nice. However a Cambridge Blue jersey would make sense.

Another white jersey seems kind of pointless to me.


Looks like the Riders will be going onyx:

I think that's just a black and white photo

[T-Bone]

I think that's just a black and white photo
Good catch. I didn't notice the background before but I think you're right.

[paulwoods13]

Given that Wpg wears gold on the road at times, I see no reason why we can't wear Cambridge Blue at home against the awful black Lions unis. I'll be surprised if jerseys are white; I just hope we don't get CB jerseys/pants -- much prefer CB/OB or CB/white for contrast.

[T-Bone]

I just hope we don't get CB jerseys/pants -- much prefer CB/OB or CB/white for contrast.
I agree, a contrast is nicer. I also hope we get the proper Cambridge Blue:

I really like that the stripes on our current jerseys are the proper colours.

[ArgoGabe22]

I also got the feeling that they might go back with a white jersey with blue lettering.

I agree with Paul, not a fan at all of the all black Lions jersey. There is a difference between the CFL and NCAA, one being a professional team.

[1argoholic]

I was just discussing white helmets on the weekend with my wife as we watched games.
I don't trust any Reebok designs. They either under or over design. Last years jersey's were crap with no logo other than Reebok on the front. I'd love to see the old boat or football boat logo's.
The white helmet does need a stripe. I too hope tat the jersey's aren't white. Cool to see old school Cambridge jersey and pants. Proper Cambridge as T Bone mentioned.

[ArgoGabe22]

I'm now guessing a white jersey with silver lettering with a cambridge blue outline on the numbers. Who really knows? The CFL logo on the teaser seems to be silver.

[paulwoods13]

That sure seems like predominantly white. Hopefully they go with Cambridge Blue numbers, Oxford Blue piping, and kind of replicate the gorgeous road jerseys from 1977-79. Either Oxford Blue or Cambridge Blue pants, please -- no white on white.

I agree with T-Bone re Cambridge Blue. I initially didn't love the colour, found it kind of greenish, but tradition, history and accuracy win out!

Nice. I was hoping for that.

[ArgoGabe22]

Looks to be a white jersey with Cambridge blue pants. Jersey numbers look to be Oxford blue with multiple outlines. There also seems to be some Cambridge blue thing on the sleeves or shoulder, looks to be the players number.

Here goes $215 for another jersey. These prices are outrageous. Being made in China, I bet the margins aren't bad.

There appears to be a big "A" on the front where traditionally the numbers go with smaller shoulder numbers on left shoulder. so the US expansion jerseys are making a comeback???? Lol

I think the jersey may end up being awful but I like the helmet. Pretty sure we are not

Not big A's but the boat logo. Pull together baby like in 1995.

I noticed the big "A" on the front as well. I don't think I'm going to like the jersey either and I agree the helmet if it has the stripe looks nice.

[1argoholic]

I saw a big A as well. I was hoping my eyes were playing tricks on me. Typical Reebok crap. Why not just have big A's on the shoulders? Nice colour combo's but the A is a NO.

[paulwoods13]

I could live with the big A, but the shoulders in that video look pretty awful. Guess we'll see more in the days to come.

I'm okay with the A on front ..... Should look like a big shield.

It looks like just the "A" minus the shield behind it on the front.

[Bleeds Double Blue]

If the fuzzy image at 0:22 of the video is any indication they are going to look like short-sleeved hockey jerseys with the big "A" on the chest. I would assume that there will be numbers on the back or else it will be a nightmare for the play by play crews. I love the helmets with the double blue striping. I wish they would add that to the regular lids.

[BATKINSON001]

I am getting one. For sure. I wont be at tuesdays game though so I may have to order online.

[Qman]

this is what i saw

light blue pants.
Jerseys that look like titan's whites with big A on chest instead of a number. small number on left chest.

Is this a joke, why would they bring up memories the the worst jersey in history. Does chris rudge actually doing anything. F*uck this!!!!

[BATKINSON001]

the new jerserys are up on ridervilles' shop... $129 for a blank, $229 for one all done up.

It's all I have to go on, until next week when ours are up for sale.

Hopefully they will cost the same as the Riders' one.

The ssk ones are nice actually. I hate to say it but I think based on the vid ours....not so much

[argos1873]

We don't actually know that there will be a big A on the front of the jersey. It could have been just an A in place of a number as a teaser for the promotional video. The video was by no means clear anyhow. Don't anyone get their knickers in a knot till we see the actual jerseys.

Not shoulder. That's below the collar on the top right of the front of the jersey.

[ArgoRavi]

It looks like these signature jerseys will allow us to relive that not-so-wonderful 1995 season while the uniforms that would remind Torontonians of that memorable '83 Grey Cup win and the Argos return to glory in the early 1980s collect mothballs.

To be honest I don't like last years retro jersey... Only thing it has that I like is the boat logo on the back.

[paulwoods13]

At the Friends of the Argonauts corn roast, Chris Rudge was asked by Don Landry about the thirds. Probably spooked by the constant (and legitimate, of course) demand from some faithful fans for the return of the boat logo, Rudge gave a strangely negative response that amounted to "you will either love it or hate it."

The early guess is "hate it".

Why can't Reebok make a decent jersey?? The Saskatchewan jersey is just plain fugly. The Argo jersey doesn't promise to be much better.

Very disappointed. Especially since the 80's jersey with the boat logo is a classic. I get that they are trying to be futuristic instead of retro, but do something worthy.

[Wobbler]

Unless the value of A is defined, A to the 97th power is pretty meaningless. But rather than defining it, the letter should indicate surname! Since #97 is Ivan Brown, that one should be B to the 97th power. Just sayin'.

Great attitude Chris. Like this team has any wiggle room for hate or indifference.

[Stevoman]

I'm disappointed in what we're seeing from the video and what the uniforms will most likely look like. These look to be laughable uniforms and not something that will draw in new fans. They may get the Argos some attention, but of the wrong kind. With such a rich history and so many things that they could've done, I am shocked that these are what Reebok went with. That mock up looks close but I think the sleeves are a bit different.

"Cambridge Blue" but not Cambridge Blue. Looks like a hockey jersey to me not a football jersey. Personally I haven't liked any of the third jerseys we have had over the past several years. I was really hoping this one would have been different. Like I said before, I really like our primaries.

[Mulder]

"Cambridge Blue" but not Cambridge Blue.

Pretty small thing to get worked up about, seeing as you've posted twice about it.

The Cambridge blue that we see today is closer to what the Cambridge Blue was when the Toronto Argonauts first picked those colours. Cambridge slowly changed (or changed backed, depending who you ask) to the colour it is today.
It was also taken from the Cambridge Rugby Union colours. Because it doesn't resemble Cambridge Blue on the colour palette, doesn't mean it isn't a Cambridge blue.

Interesting. I wonder why they choose to go with the other Cambridge Blue on our primary jerseys then?

I was under the impression that blue (on the left in photo) was the original Cambridge Blue. Not a big deal but it would be nice if the team stuck to the original colours whatever they maybe.

[paulwoods13]

Are we sure it won't be the actual Cambridge Blue, based on the teasers we've seen? That is certainly possible, but let's wait to see it in the flesh. If it ends up being the light blue we had before the current unis restored CB, that's not a bad alternative IMO. I always liked that shade as well.

I'm pretty sure it was Rudge that said they went back to the pantone Cambridge Blue to get the colour right for our current primary jerseys at that jersey launch. That's why I was under the impression that, that was the proper Cambridge Blue. I guess I was wrong, my bad. I would just like to see some consistency between the uniform colours.

Rudge did say that, and I believe they are in fact using the pantone for Cambridge Blue. Whether or not that pantone matches what Cambridge originally wore is an open question, but I am prepared to commend the org for at least trying to find the right colour in the redesign two years ago.

I always thought it was quaint in a CFL kinda way, that when they changed to "Cambridge blue" a couple of years ago, they didn't change the light blue on their helmet logo to match the new unis. When you're a franchise counting your pennies, it's understandable and you hope too many people don't notice.

But in the photo of the new white helmet posted online, it looks as if they STILL didn't adjust the colour of the light blue in the helmet logo. Is it just my failing eyesight? Are they just putting old logo stickers on brand new helmets?. Is it possible they don't care if the light blue on the helmet doesn't match the light blue on the unis?

Heard some feedback up here that the Ottawa Jerseys will feature plaid, but it's not the focal point.
Also heard that Edmonton's jerseys are hideous.

Actually looks pretty good!

[argos1873]

Actually looks pretty good!

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.

[ArgoZ]

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.

[Stevoman]

Well, they look better than I had feared. I don't like the font style for the numbers though but I guess it helps the "A" look more bold because of the contrast. I agree that the replica's don't look anywhere near as decent as the official. I love our current white jersey and am glad that these will be used sparingly.

[Double Dare]

When it comes down to it, you don't really care about the colour of a girl's panties ... you care about how well she performs.

[1argoholic]

The jersey is way too urban street wear/ dance club/ bam..bam..bam take some ex and listen to crap music for me. This punk says NO to the jersey.

Take the A off the front and put it on the shoulders and it's fine.

[Argocister]

..........

Take the A off the front and put it on the shoulders and it's fine.

Originally I agreed with that, but when you are looking at various teams shirts, many have a large emblem on the front to let others know what team shirt the person is wearing. I think the large A lets people know ... this is The Argos ..... (maybe capitals would be better THE ARGOS!)
I know I often mix up my sons Charger and plain Argos blue jersey. .... both just have numbers. I can live with the A

[paulwoods13]

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.

They are a little better than I had originally anticipated, but I'm not going to fork over the $$ for one.

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

[AaronInToronto]

This jersey is 1 - horrible looking, 2 -another Reebok fail 3-way too highly-priced. They'll sell no more than 100

[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.

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?

[Argo57]

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.

[matchuk]

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...

[1argoholic]

Exactly what matchuk said!

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

[ArgoZ]

$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 :(

[1argoholic]

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.

[T-Bone]

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.


I just saw this:

497

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.

[Double Dare]

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.

[BATKINSON001]

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.

[paulwoods13]

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.

[1argoholic]

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.

[Argo57]

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.

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.

[BATKINSON001]

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.

It's not just the Argos. I'm guessing Reebok supplies the nameplates since the Riders jerseys are doing the same, covering up the shoulder stripe.

[Argo57]

Ya, it's not just the Argos. All the jerseys come with the nameplate form Reebok. Even the current ones. Regardless if you put a name on it or not.

[T-Bone]

I'm 99.9% sure your guess is right. Because of the colours it is not as noticeable but it is the same issue:

You would think, it's a shockingly obvious mistake. For the player jerseys I guess they would use smaller letters for longer names so they fit?

[paulwoods13]

I actually prefer the the 60's white retro compared to this one.

You mean the '60s white retro that was never made available for sale to the public? Because IIRC it wasn't -- I assume the team was spooked by the number of unsold 1950s replicas from the year before.


You would think, it's a shockingly obvious mistake. For the player jerseys I guess they would use smaller letters for longer names so they fit?

It is indeed shockingly obvious. I doubt they will use smaller letters for longer-named players -- for them the nameplate will have to extend over the piping. But there is no excuse in the world why Reebok, the CFL or the team should have allowed 18-inch nameplates for short names like Ray and Durie. Again, I hope to hell the team is paying attention to this discussion and fixes the problem, because I doubt many people would buy a jersey with such an obviously wrong and ugly element marring the design.

I have Argo home and away Jerseys (customized) and wouldn't buy this 3rd Jersey for that reason, again basic marketing snafu, also $229.00 for a customized jersey is beyond stupid IMO.

[BATKINSON001]

any idea what skydome is charging to do up the blank ones? I was told that they are the only ones doing the light blue numbers (the letters look like the normal away lettering)...

I can get the normal dark blue numbers and letters done in my hometown for $79...

[paulwoods13]

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."

There is also the Argonauts wordmark on the pants, the nameplate font and the A on the helmet -- six fonts in total. That's a tad ragged. I don't have an issue with continuing to use the A logo font and the existing nameplate font, but Toronto, Argonauts and Pull Together all should have been in one font, and the numbers could have been in that same font. But these are minor quibbles for an overall look that I find more attractive than any other alt the team has introduced.

[ArgoGabe22]

Those are the ones. I bought a Shivers jersey at the locker room sale. Remember those?

[ArgoRavi]

LOL, Shivers had one good year for the Argos as a player. He was one of the Argos' assistants who moved with Chris Jones to Edmonton this year.

[argofandave]

Durie did the weather report on Global News at 6pm on Thursday while wearing the new third jersey.

[Rich]

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



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 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.

[Greer10]

well, those things they are wearing tonight
against BC are pretty hideous.

Quit screwing around with the jerseys and helmets and just bring back the early 80's one, with football/boat helmet logo circa 82/83

...the front of a jersey is for the number, not a big A

[1argoholic]

I thought that all that was missing was a beautiful glitter blue handbag. How is any mens football team able to play such a tough game dressed in that girly uni. Burn those uni's NOW!!! Reebok you SUCK!!!!

The missing part to the Argo uni's.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Womens-Glitter-Ladies-Shimmer-Evening/dp/B009YWY4HK

The Argos have now sent the 3rd jersey's back to reebok so they can swap the A for a T and send them off to the Titans. Horrible uni's with wrong colours. Reebok BLOWS!

[294life]

I got me one with number 7 and Uteck on the nameplate to raise ALS awareness.

It's not the ice bucket challenge but it'll do.

Hated both sets of unis tonight. It was so hard to identify any of the players tonight by number. 1argoholic is right...Reebok blows.

Kinda reminds me of this...

[paulwoods13]

The overall look was excellent, IMO, especially the numbers. The A on the front makes for a nice fan jersey to wear but is annoying to watch in an actual game since it's impossible to identify players from the front. The nameplate issue has to be solved if they want to sell some of these, tho.

[Argocister]

I rather liked the jerseys. Personally I like the navy blue jerseys the best.
It was interesting to see the different arms on the QBs jerseys ....short sleeves. I read somewhere that Durant complained about the sleeves on the jerseys , that they restricted his throwing arm. He didn't have the short sleeve. :) thanx Reebok

[1argoholic]

HOLY CRAP!! OK Those Red Blacks UNI'S are BAD. I have to say it. Are The Village People singing at halftime doing the reveal game for the Ottawa uni's? That's not gay bashing Paul. I couldn't care less if someone is gay. Remember how The Village people used to dress. The Ottawa uni's are all over that.

The girly part of the argo uni is the dark blue fading so gingerly into the light blue. The white tights down near the socks were just as sweet. Plus the fact that they are Titans colours pisses me off.

[Double Dare]

The Red Blacks can sing Monty Python's The Lumberjack Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zey8567bcg

[AngeloV]

Honestly, I hope the league is getting a lot of money from Reebok to do these uniforms. Though the Argos one may be a good one for a fan to wear, it really is not something I personally want to see in football. As I mentioned I hate the fact that I couldn't identify the players while watching the game.

[argolio]

The nameplates do look like an amateur afterthought.That's putting it kindly. Horribly embarrassing job by Reebok.

I don' mind the new look "signature" jerseys.
I like ours .... the helmets are cool, but I like the Cambridge blue
I think the Riders jerseys make them look like green aliens from some sci-fi movie .... from planet Mountain Dew (as someone mentioned before)
The Rouge et noir helmet is cool with the plaid.
Its true, the Bombers jersey looks like the one the Argos didn't want .... it looks more double blue ..... so the scenario I envision is Reebok comes up with a dark and light jersey for the Argos .... the dark one had the Cambridge blue shoulders .... but the Argos picked the light jersey, .....Winnipeg didn't like any of their jerseys, so Reebok took the ARgos blue jersey, put some camo on the shoulders to disguise the double blue and voila.... good story.
second option was that since O'Shea is part Argo at heart, they used all blue .

[Argo57]

Ticats uniform is probably the best so far, nice job jazzing up their logo on the helmet as well, should be interesting to see Calgary's full uniform.

[paulwoods13]

At this point I am overwhelmingly disappointed by these unis. The Argos at least used an approximation of their actual colours. What is with all these grey/black combos? They do absolutely nothing for me.

[AngeloV]

I actually like Hamilton's (even though I like their regular unis better). Unlike B.C. the numbers will not be hidden in the jersey, so player identification should not be a problem.

[ArgoFan1]

They all stink as far as I am concerned. Can you imagine the Argos changing their colours?? Why do they have to come up with all these colour changes? Hamilton needs to have some white on their uniform or helmet somewhere to keep their traditional colours. Argos and Winnipeg have to get the stupid letter off the front of the jersey. I had a hard time at the game knowing who was who when the Argos were facing my direction, since the numbers are so small. I heard the coaches complaining about it too as they watched the film later. I always detest teams changing their look all the time anyway. Especially teams like Vancouver Canuks, St. Louis Blues, etc. You would never see teams like the Canadiens or Bruins or Red Wings making changes. My rant on this.

The signature uni's are just a change for a few games, like an alternate jersey you see in many other leagues. I find it no big deal. The Bruins and Red Wings have used many alternate uniforms over the years, particularly an ugly bear logo for Boston. It happens everywhere. I agree that the Wings simple jersey and winged wheel is an amazing look, standing the test of time.

I agree about the Wings -- best logo in sports, IMO, and remarkably consistent (altho many people are unaware that the Red Wings used to have reversible logos). However, I'm going to push back on one point -- I don't agree that the Wings have used "many" alternate unis. They had special retro unis for their appearances in two winter classics, and had one retro jersey to celebrate the NHL's 75th anniversary, but otherwise they use the same unis year after year (and thankfully so).

Third jerseys usually create merchandise sales, unfortunately for the most part can't see the masses running out to buy these designs, Reebok and the CFL missed the boat on this one.

[Argocister]

I guess I'm the odd man .... well.... one out here. I like most of the new signature series. There are some small things that could be altered... like gold in the Bombers Argos jersey.
Many of the grey and black colourings have occured in the newer NCAA jerseys and looks. Also some of the CIS teams (the Carbins , RetO, VetO) have brought out a grey or black jersey. A tougher or sci fi look. I'm thinking the younger audiences and fans are the focus here.

Tradition will still be around though so don't get too worried.

I like them too. There will always be people who criticize anything. But the Bombers one could have used some gold

Just seen the pics of the new Ticats uniform over on the cfl forums thread for the new uniforms, they appear to have copied BC. I like it.

How can Hamilton be copying BC when Hamilton's jersey reflect the colours that franchise has worn for over a hundred years?

[argolio]

I don't like most of them, but I recognize it for the marketing gimmick it is, so I'm sure I'll get over it.

[argofandave]

I just finished watching my recording of the Calgary at Ottawa game and noticed that Ottawa did not wear their plaid helmets with their third jersey. The only explanation given was by Gord Miller who said "they weren't quite the match they wanted." Can someone explain the explanation to me? Thanks.

I didn't understand Miller's explanation either. I have since read in one of the Sun papers that the helmets simply were not ready but that they will be worn on September 26th.

I have never understood the black in Stampeders jerseys. They were first introduced in the 1994 LDC. I was hoping they would go back to the red, white, grey (silver) combination. The black just looks like XFL or an Arena football team IMO.

I agree, AG. The long-time equipment manager in Calgary, George Hopkins, seems to love black though and, from what I have read, is fully responsible for that colour becoming an increasing part of their uniform over the last couple of decades.

[paulwoods13]

Seriously, yet another black uni. Wow, how innovative.

Is George Hopkins the guy Danny Barrett scrapped with one year during a brawl in the endzone?

[ArgoRavi]

Hopkins is the guy that Michael Bishop had an altercation with on the sideline during Bishop's best game of his pro career at SkyDome in 2007. That was also the game in which Bishop was injured.

And I agree with Paul about the black uniforms. Do we really need 3 out of 9 with that colour in the signature uniforms?

[Double Dare]

Seriously, yet another black uni. Wow, how innovative. Better than powder-puff blue and white.

[BATKINSON001]

Better than powder-puff blue and white. The argo jersey is a nice colourful change to all the dark jerseys, can't have everyone being black blue red or grey...

Any word on Edmontons' jersey yet?

[ArgoRavi]

Better than powder-puff blue and white.

I disagree. I will take "power-puff blue and white" any day over yet another black jersey.

[hugoagogo]

Well, looks like the Esks online store commited a screwup by getting these up on their site before the official unveiling. Sure, there's still numbering and all the rest of the uniform to come, but right now, it looks rather plain, like a t-shirt.
Big disappointment from this Edmonton fan. Major fail from Reebok in even attempting any effort on this one...

[AngeloV]

As I have said, I hate football shirts that don't have the full size numbering on front and back, but at least Edmonton didn't mess with their actual colour scheme.


I disagree. I will take "power-puff blue and white" any day over yet another black jersey.

Yes Ravi...but you are obviously comfortable with your self and don't need to put some sort of anti-gay slant on your opinions.

[ArgoGabe22]

I have nothing wrong with the Argos colour scheme but I am starting the hate the large logos on the front more and more each day.

[BATKINSON001]

Any idea. Why you or anyone hate the front logos. I don't think that comparing or calling it a hockey jersey is a valid reason... There has to be more to this dislike than just that. At least they aren't long sleeved 😛

[paulwoods13]

The problem with logos on the front is it's almost impossible to tell who anyone is from a front view. I watch home games through binocs and any time the Argos were facing my direction, I could not discern who was lined up where. I like our third in many ways, but it would have been better with large numbers front and back.

At least they still have numbers on the front altogether, just off to the side and smaller...

[matthew]

With everybody now having revealed their jerseys I can say that overall this whole idea was a disaster.

[Stevoman]

Yeah, for me it's not the colours but the big A on the front that I don't like. However, I'm also not a fan of the number font. 4 teams with symbols on the front and 4 teams that are primarily black. The lack of originality reminds me of 2005. Here's my ranking of the ones I like best to least:
1. BC Lions (these look great, although difficult to read the numbers)
2. Hamilton (nice thought out, overall look)
3. Calgary (love that helmet)
4. Winnipeg (of the "symbol" jerseys, the W works best. Don't like that there is no gold though)
5. Montreal
6. Saskatchewan (not a fan of the helmet)
7. Toronto
8. Ottawa
9. Edmonton (based on the jersey reveal)

Yes Ravi...but you are obviously comfortable with your self and don't need to put some sort of anti-gay slant on your opinions. Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of them being like Argo cheerleader uniforms, nothing to do with a person's sexual orientation.

Waaaaayyyyy smaller (as OV would say). So small as to be useless to anyone not watching on a big-screen, HD TV.
