[ArgoGabe22]

I don’t hate them but too simple. Shoulders remind me of the grey Alouettes. I don’t mind going with that shade of blue as an alternate, why mess something that I thought was perfect? Overall, a bit too boring. Reminds me way too much of a soccer jersey.

[ArgoGabe22]

I’m getting a heavy St. Mikes vibe after seeing the player photoshoot with the pants and helmet together

[Scooter McCray]

Football jerseys need to have numbers on the front.

[Scooter McCray]

What happened to double blue? I love Cambridge blue, but it has to be paired with Oxford blue. The light blue can be used for away jersey. But dark blue needs to be at home.

[Stevoman]

Overall, I like them and think they are an improvement over the previous iteration. We haven't had numbers on the sleeves since 2004 and so that's an interesting throw back. I like the oars on the shoulders and on the pants. I prefer the word "Argos" to "Toronto" that the previous jersey had. I'm not a fan of the number font but understand it has roots to the Canadian navy and like the nautical theme overall to the design.

I do wish that they had an Oxford option as well. 3 jerseys, 3 sets of pants, and 2 helmets. The amount of combinations of those would be fantastic and maybe it's something they can add next season.

Still not as good as the 2017 uniform design though.

They do. Only the blank ones don't have numbers.

[Will]

I am reserving judgment on the new uniforms.

["Issues"Mcgee]

Haters gonna hate but I think they look great. Not too plain like the last jerseys but nothing too ridiculous. I like the shoulders. I wanted stripes but overall I'm happy with these they are sweet.

[Brian45]

I would prefer more Oxford in the equation but overall they are nice. Probably like the white version more than the blue which is rare for me.

[paulwoods13]

Design elements are all good -- number font, the oars, etc. But . . .

I'm past the point of hoping for contrast between top and bottom -- clearly the uniform designers of the world have unanimously concluded that the monochrome/pyjamas look is hot stuff. I've long since lost that battle. But the socks?! Why on earth do the socks have to be the same colour as the pants? Especially on the road unis? I can live with everything else (much as I'd have preferred contrast), but if this is the socks look we will get all season, I'm really disappointed.

[AngeloV]

Much better than the previous jersey, but not as nice as 2012-17. Overall, I don’t mind it.

[bluto]

I'm OK with a year in the Cambridge. We've had far worse.

[Will]

I'm OK with a year in the Cambridge. We've had far worse.

No guarantee that these are short-term though.

[bluto]

No guarantee that these are short-term though.

We generally swap every 3ish years?

I'd expect we'll have Oxford back prior to that.

[argolio]

At least the numbers are more visible.

[Argo57]

Overall an improvement over the uniforms from last season but the bar had been set pretty low.
Not the biggest fan of the all white uniforms, would prefer contrasting blue pants (either Oxford or Cambridge) to keep the uniform more interesting.
No stock on 2XL and larger uniforms??

[gilthethrill]

The first thing I saw were feathers on the shoulders similar to what Gabe wrote. Like Paul commented, the bland all one colour look is now a thing in football uniforms, so it is what it is.

Better than the bland junk the team wore the past 3 seasons, at least there was an effort made. It could have been better but they are ok.

[OV Argo]

Love the Cambridge blue; but I'm with Paul that the trend to all one color is not that great (maybe once a season look) and contrast in the pants or socks adds to a much better look. And those oars on the shoulder are a nice try, but end up looking like they could be anything other than oars. Shoulda tried for a ship logo, even a new stylized one.

Argos really mixed and matched top and bottom last year. I think they likely will continue with that trend.

[ArgoZ]

Out of the park, no, but I like them enough to get one. I wish there was a little more Oxford blue, perhaps if they coloured in the oars. The oars are a cool idea, but they need to be a little smaller or more defined as people have mistaken them for swords, feathers, etc. Some Oxford socks would set off the look nice. The white away with blue pants are going to be the best look. I’m sure we’ll see that combo at some point.

For anyone considering purchasing the fan jersey, I’ve read they fit a little tighter than previous years and to size up. Can anyone actually confirm this? I’ll now have to wait to test size as I’d hate to drop $200+ on something that shows off my nipples.

[paulwoods13]

We can hope that's the case, I guess. But I've noticed that NFL uni reveals include every possible combination. If there are more mix-and-match looks, Oxford pants or socks, etc., we should have seen them when this new look was rolled out, IMO.

Here is an important twitter thread describing the jerseys:

That's a good package of info. I'm more optimistic than I was yesterday that (as AV suggested) we have not seen every combo.

[AngeloV]

I have to say it again, these are 1000 times better than the jerseys we’ve had for the last 3 seasons

[Scooter McCray]

Agreed ... I am old school die hard....want stripes... and lots of contrast with both shades of blue... with a touch of white.. but I like the base colour being the light blue... and seeing ARGOS on the front... the Paddle on the legs is kind of cool... not sure about the white ones unless we can get some blue pants.... but the cambridge ones are very nice... Good to see Real sports had these right away... this is a good positive step ... Go ARRGOS !!!

They had a fair number of (blank) jerseys available for sale at Real Sports today along with some other merchandise such as hats, t-shirts, sweat shirts and general accessories.

What I really need is a new Argos beer glass as mine has been worn out by the dishwasher.

[ArgoGabe22]

Still not sold on them as a primary jersey. Looks good for a fan to wear but lacking double blue.

Would be nice if they would add dark blue pants into the equation.

LOL.... was thinking the same... need a ship ARGO Beer mug ... and or ARGO mug for my tea.... Would be nice if we could pick some up at the team store or in the Beech at Pro league sports.

[ArgoGabe22]

Not sure how many saw the BC Lions Grey look but I think those are fantastic. Even when the jersey and pants are the same colour, the black helmet and black numbers and stripes on shoulder just make the entire jersey “pop”. The Argos are just missing that “pop”.

[kellynjk]

Watched part of the pre-season game today against Hamilton and I'm not that keen on the new uniform. I like the they have incorporated the "pale blue" but it's too much. They should have made the pants the darker blue or something, because it's too much and you need some kind of contrast. An American friend of mine who is in town and was also watching the Blue Jays, was teasing me about why do all of the Toronto sports team have "baby blue uniforms" and I have to laugh, but he's kind of right!!

[Antwon]

I liked the uniforms. And the dark blue socks helped with the look. I think they should try them with dark pants for a game or two.
One thing I can't stand it the dark blue undershirt hanging out for some players. Looks bush league. I hope they fix that for the regular season.

[ArgoGabe22]

Upon reflection, the jerseys look great on fans (from up close) but are the numbers smaller on the replica jersey? I’m still unsure what I think of the overall look. For some reason they just so much better as a fan jersey IMO. Maybe it’s the pants that I don’t like.

[Will]

I bought a A.J Ouellette #34 in the away jersey and it is great. The only thing is those oars on the shoulders may make it difficult to wash without issues. Argo57 suggest inside out and delicate might be the answer.

And absolutely no fabric softener of any kind, advise from the Tiger Cats store when my son was picking up his customized jersey.

[paulwoods13]

The overall look was better than I thought it would be -- Cambridge Blue is a very cool colour. However, I'm not changing my preference for contrast. This new look would be so much sharper IMO with Oxford pants between Cambridge jerseys and socks. Or even white pants in between. I'm not counting on Oxford pants being part of this year's package; would love to be proven wrong. The variety of available combos if we had all three pieces in all three hues would be very exciting.

One thing I did notice -- numbers are hard to read from a distance. From my seats at the 40, it was mostly fine. But standing in the south end zone watching the Argos warm up in the north end, I could not discern most individual numbers.

Out of solidarity with the new colour scheme, I wore my 1976-vintage game-work Cambridge Blue jersey, No. 42 which fortuitously we have on the roster (Stiggers). I believe it was worn back then by either Al Maclean or Stuart Francis.

Hand wash only here. Even only soaking in some soapy water will get it clean, rinse off and hang dry.

Wish we could get the vintage vertical striping over the shoulders - this look needs to come back!

I don’t recall in my time Argos ever having that look. Not a fan TBH. I like the stripes on the sleeves as they had from 2012-2017 much more.

[ArgoGabe22]

The old whites had some stripes http://www.scottmurray.com/tricky_dick_thornton.htm

[Retrogorilla 2]

Nice! I really like them. Very vintage as i was saying....would give us a unique look apart from the rest of the league and about a millon times better than those weird white things on the shoulders now.

I'm 55 and that is even too old for me. Please, no more Ted Turner colourized classics. :)

[Foxhound]

I prefer the word "Argos" to "Toronto" that the previous jersey had.

Jerseys should be identifiable by team logos and colours. Therefore I don't like team names written on jerseys and I really hate city/province names on jerseys.

It seems though that all CFL team jerseys have this feature. Why?
