That uniform set looked a little better when they wore the black helmet with the homes and the orange helmet with the roads. I didn't mind these: The Lions best helmet was their 60’s throwback, but the new helmet with stripes I thought was great, no stripes and it’s bland. Plus they need to stick to black pants at home. a splash of white was a welcomed addition but the black pants add the proper contrast in elements. The orange works well with the away but that was when they had an orange or white helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonewars2008 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 It was also like when Hamilton finally added back the yellow stripe to their helmet. It’s a nice touch that contrasted well vs Ottawa cause just on helmets alone they are the same, but added team colour to it and it contrasts especially at night. I’d prefer Ottawa getting stripes too but not really a big fan of one colour helmets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC: Orange Calgary: Red Edmonton: Yellow Hamilton: Black Montreal: White Ottawa: Silver Saskatchewan: Green Toronto: Blue Winnipeg: Gold That used to actually exist if you think a decade and a bit more back before Ottawa rejoined.

Some jersey adjustment to get rid of shoulder yokes. The home uniform a new look but with a nod to the 1970s look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea, but the elk horn just feels too insubstantial to command the space it's trying to occupy. Making it worse are the ends of the chinstrap that partially cover up the helmet logo. Agree. I think it is clear to everyone that the elk antler needs to be more substantial. We need more antler. Hoping they get it fixed maybe in 2022 after the feedback. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why the took the Cambridge blue centre stripe of the helmet? It looked great and would look better with the stripe on this helmet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally had that and changed it, because the Alouettes were in white a lot longer than they were in silver, and frankly, I felt white looks better for them. Also, Ottawa definitely does not work with a white helmet. 2 Quote On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

There is no silver helmets, and yeah white doesn’t work for them but this is their look. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-tron Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 The white numbers are awful. I don't think they've had them in their entire history. They look like a Green Bay knockoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason they couldn't have broken the mold and gone with something like this. (The EE looks like antlers if you squint) Even with that amount of extra coverage on the helmet, the stripe still looks good and not too busy. Honestly, the antlers should/could be way bigger, and a stripe would still work.

clonewars2008 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 When you try to scrub clean the racist name from your branding but you scrub a little too clean and screw it up entirely. now someone posted solid yellow numbers and a name and honestly that doesn’t look half bad. Keeps a retro vibe going from the 5-peat but still looks pleasing and less intrusive on the overall look as the white numbers do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
