And these BC helmets are miles ahead of what they're wearing now. http://d3ham790trbkqy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2006/11/14031740/39585.jpg I was trying to figure out what was off about that Montreal helmet, besides the silver... Good grief is that helmet logo tiny. But that silver shell is by far inferior to the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailGoldPants Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I've probably said this before somewhere on this forum, but it's worth repeating. I wish the Als would drop that stupid helmet logo and go with a recolored version of this.... Check out my site at stevebcreations.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Oh yeah, Montreal is definitely best in a white helmet. Cleans up the look a lot and does wonders for the set's cohesiveness (the set still has a lot of work needed, but the helmet helps). Although, am I the only one in the world that really likes the Al's logo? Maybe it's the cartoon-style lover in me, but I've always been cool with it.

Jer15 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 .....speaking of Montreal. I think we can all agree this look needs to go. On the other hand, the Argos are wearing my fave combo in the league. Not that we haven't said it before but I'll say it again, time for the Argos to just make this white helmet thier only helmet.

Chewbacca Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Last night, the BC Lions wore their road uniform at home against Ottawa, which is something BC never does at home. I must say, their road uniform is far better than their home one. For whatever reason the RedBlacks always wear their home uniform on the road in BC.

I'm assuming you're talking about this alternate look? If so, while I'm not fond of the uniform design, I do love the color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'm not the biggest fan of the uniform, but if they got rid of the 425 on the patch and replaced it with MTL they'd have a great primary logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of their alternates (nor really any alternate in the CFL for that matter, except for Saskatchewan's throwbacks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I definitely can't defend that that's certainly a change I'd make (I'd do it to Louisville, too). I guess what I'm getting at is I'm fine overall with the idea of a football-carrying cartoon bird. To me, though certainly a more modernized execution, it's not that far different in general idea from cartoon-style mascot logos of vintage eras, which I love.

The tweaks they DO make, don't make good sense when put in the context of their overall look. Your points above illustrate that.

I would like the Als' logo if they removed the teeth and brought some consistency to the uniform's striping. As it is now? It all looks half-done and slapped together. My ideal Alouettes logo would be something in the spirit of their 40s-60s logo. Their 425 logo is a good start. Replace the "425" with "MONTREAL" and you've got something. The logo's an homage to the emblem used by the RCAF's 425th Squadron, known as the "Allouettes."

Jer15 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 ^ wouldn't that be fitting? I mean, I won't pretend I'm an Als expert but isn't that what they are named after? (I mean I guess technically this "edition" of the team is named after the original Alouettes.) You know what I mean.

Ben5 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Did anyone see the Bachelorette Canada this week? The boys went on a football date. One team wore the Montreal white uniforms, the other wore the alternate. Two of the guys in white had the old version, but one guys wore the new version and it looked bad. Also, they threw these men into a football pads with no one to properly fit them (as far as I could tell). It was extremely dangerous, and that show is lucky no one got seriously injured. I hope Jasmine finds love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Ottawa in black and Calgary in white looks like a team scrimmage instead of the Grey Cup. Just horrible to have 3 teams wearing the same uniform design in a pro league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
