BJ Sands Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Whenever it's on and I get a chance I like to watch the CFL. It's fast-paced, fun, and fills a void before September. That said, I don't think I could watch it full-time because of the ghastly uniforms. It seems like every team has sets with mismatched elements, bad templates, and just random designs that don't work. I know there are a few CFL fans on here, and I just want to know how you put up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRicSlick Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I guess i'll have to say this here, the Blue Bombers have one of the ugliest fields ever. There's ads everywhere on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ Sands Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hamilton's homes are just OK. The roads with the black sleeves are weird and don't really work. Toronto looks good now but that team changes too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docrocket Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I would agree with 'Cap about the Argos and Ti-Cats unis...sadly, I must also note that at least half the league ranks down with the worst of the Arena League! I can haz sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hamilton's homes are just OK. The roads with the black sleeves are weird and don't really work.I respectfully disagree. This is a gorgeous set and could easily stand up to any classic NFL look...Toronto looks good now but that team changes too often.Well that doesn't really have anything to do with their look now. Like the Ti-Cats' set I'd put the Argos' uniforms up against the best the NFL has to offer.As for changing too often? They've had their current set for two years. They had the previous set for six years. They had the set before that for nine years. It doesn't seem like the Argos change their uniforms with any more frequency then anyone else really.Yeah, most of the CFL could use some work, but this match-up looks just as good as Packers-Bears or Chiefs-Raiders, in my opinion...I'd even go so far as to say that the BC Lions' set works. It's a bit on the plain side, but it's not overly gaudy like Calgary's or feel like a generic template like Ottawa's or Saskatchewan's. It's just a solid football look.

sportstar1212 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Toronto, Hamilton, BC, and Edmonton's home uni are the only truly good looks in the CFL, IMO. Calgary and Ottawa are a few tweaks from being in the top tier as well. The rest, of the league however, looks like absolute :censored:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicate Genius Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The Eskimos road uniforms are awful. I hate the green helmet, pants, and shoulders.Not a fan of the shadowed numbers on the home or away either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah, I point to the Eskimos anytime somebody suggests the Packers adopt alternate green helmets or pants. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a solid football look.I have to agree with this as I really like these uniforms. Winnipeg really messed up when they changed this last time & Calgary does not need alot of changes to make that uniform pretty good. Edmonton just needs some tweaks as well but I love the home uniform. I like some of Montreal's uniform so really the only look we have left is Ottawa which is not terrible but not great either.So I guess I have to disagree with the OP except for the ads & a few looks I really like watching the CFL aesthetically.

BigBubba Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The only truly "bad" looks in my opinion are Calgary, Ottawa, and Edmonton's road. And really only Calgary needs to blow things up. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The Argonauts' look isn't that great, they have the same big clunky sleeve stripes as the Steelers. This looks better: POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Calgary is definitely a terrible jersey set and this is coming from a Stamps fan.-Different coloured NOB on each jersey, white on the home and black on the road, despite having the same red yoke on both jerseys.-The ugly font-The overuse of black, especially the away helmets. One of the nicknames for the team is the Red and White, not the Red, White and Black.Toronto, Hamilton and BC (I just wish they would get rid of the twitter account on the back of the helmet) are great. Edmonton is good, Ottawa and Winnipeg are okay (I just wish Winnipeg used a white jersey), Calgary, Saskatchewan and Montreal are bad. To me Montreal's are template jerseys that have too many colour changes.Calgary (because the organization is sold on the black despite what the fans say) Edmonton, Ottawa and Saskatchewan could be better if they didn't try to have two distinct home and away jersey sets, especially the different helmets. Funny how the NFL only lets teams wear the same helmet over the entire year, while just under half the CFL wears a different helmet for away games.

BigBubba Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The Argonauts' look isn't that great, they have the same big clunky sleeve stripes as the Steelers. This looks better:That wasn't awful (and I think the pants stripe is pretty neat), but you absolutely must change the colours to Oxford/Cambridge.Another league-wide problem: why does nobody know what a helmet stripe is? Two-thirds of the league don't sport them, which looks really bland and amateurish. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be pretty awkward since they already use an NFL team's stripes exactly.What do you mean? The Argos use five big stripes.The Steelers use five, three and sometimes two big stripes, all on the same jersey depending on the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
