This looks like a safe bet to be their font...

That doesn't bode well for the tasteful lumberjack motif I was hoping for.

Isn't that the old Perds number set? Blergh.

Yes, yes it is. Most recently seen on the Las Vegas Locos of the UFL.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

I actually love the number font. Goes perfectly with the logo

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Wouldn't be the first time...the Tiger-Cats use(d?) the mid-90s Patriots number style.

The non-matching "R"s bug me to no end.

Here are a few more teasers:

How many more years does reebok have the contract for? Considering they're effectively getting out of the endorsement business to position themselves primarily in the fitness arena, I'd have to think that licensing is next. Maybe it's a different strategy up North.

I'll update this post once better images come in, but for anyone not following the liveblogging of the event, here's some shots:

These white ones seem crazily colorless to me. What happened to the RED in REDBLACKS?

Nice, I had just gotten sick of refreshing their Facebook page, 30 minutes after the start of the event.

Given the team name and their insistence people spell it using all caps? Yeah, it needs more red. That being said, I was expecting worse. I'd ditch the white helmets (when I think Ottawa football I think black helmets), work more red into the striping, and ditch the dated Falcons/Broncos-esque pants stripes.

I get not wanting to stamp on Calgary's toes, but a little more red would be nice. The monochrome is bland, and the all-black (ALLBLACK?) pairing is atrocious (hello, BC). The white helmet looks cheap, and why the hell are CFL teams so resistant to use helmet stripes? Toronto, Saskatchewan, BC, Hamilton (though I think they brought them back this year), Calgary, and now Ottawa. It looks so rec-league.

Overall? C+. Not good, not awful. I was expecting a lot worse.
