CFL Facemask Colours Post


Recommended Posts

The old Alouettes' white helmets looked so much better with blue masks than with grey.

It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

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.

The CFL started that trend(logos on sleeves) i'd ;like to think then the USFL then the NFL finally caught on. 

Not quite. The expansion Atlanta Falcons began that trend (the team logo appearing on the sleeves) with their first uniforms in 1966, but it went away after a couple seasons and not revisited until a decade later in 1978.

The CFL didn't get into the 'logos-on-sleeve's thing until 1980, when the Toronto Argonauts, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Ottawa Rough Riders, Edmonton Eskimos, BC Lions and Montreal Alouettes all did so (in the case of Edmonton, Ottawa and BC, their logo was superimposed on the sleeve striping).

From the infamous Signature Series alternate uniforms. The Saskatchewan Roughriders helmet.

You know what? I admit this helmet was a guilty pleasure. 
I mean. The signature series wasn’t good but this was fun for an alternate.

They were fun.  If green is your colour, might as well be double green right?

 

It was wheat on the helmet, but the fun thing about it is the helmet looked a bit like a watermelon on the field as well.

 

Too bad we never got to see the prototype plaid Redblacks signature helmet on the field.

 

Best signature series uniform was BC Lions for sure.

Did I start “signature series anonymous”? 😂

Yes sir. I still think that the REDBLACKS would look so much better with some plaid. Helmet stripe or sleeve stripes or something.
