This isn't Catholic school where we need to cover up for modesty. It's not about modesty, it's about uniformity. Sports uniforms work best when there is a consistent look for all players, IMO. And socks, while drawing a lot less attention than pants, jerseys and helmets, are a very important part of the look of football. Or at least they were before so many teams inexplicably switched to wearing pyjama bottoms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are all the same and, beside pants length, can’t really change.

Like @clonewars2008mentioned, nostalgia plays a role. So instead of going on about that (and potentially coming off as hostile, which is not my intention) I have to say: The striping on this version of the helmet is SO MUCH better. I wish they'd adopt this striping for the regular helmet, 1 Quote GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is goin to wonder if you're on the other team just from your socks falling down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Blue Bombers wearing helmet decal designed by an Anishinaabe artist in tonight's game. Both the Bombers and Elks are going to wear orange jerseys for the warmup and they'll be auctioned off after. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrumptious Ham Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 If you are just going to roll with a letter, I've always felt the letter should come from the city. Using just the letter of the nickname is weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Argonauts have always used an A and I always attributed it to that as them being the "Argonaut Rowing/Football Club" in their early history, so "Argonauts" was always more of a focus than "Toronto". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Maybe for next season’s thread, but I’m in line at the Stampeders locker room sale and a lady came outside and told the front of the line that the black jerseys might be a good buy because they aren’t coming back next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it to specifically mean the black alternates and not the removal of "black" as a concept from all the uniforms. I also assumed they would just have different black alternates next year because the black alternate is a part of Stamps branding and lore. There was also another person in the locker room at the same time as me talking with a Stamps employee of some kind and they were both lamenting the fact that they can't wear the black helmets anymore because of how cool they looked. I'm not one for public confrontation, especially for something as insignificant as that, but I almost said something above me giving them a quizzical look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
