It's been such a small detail that's been missing but it makes the uniform look significantly better. 3 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...

At least they didn't copy Western Michigan and Minnesota? I'm not sure why they went away from a navy jersey either. Overall, I like the look, but this needs navy blue jerseys and pants somewhere in the design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree more navy blue is needed in the set, especially in the pants and socks, but I wouldn't go so far as to say the jerseys and pants have to be predominantly navy blue. The Cambridge blue is a bold choice that brings what was a secondary colour into a new standing. It's unique in the CFL and pretty much across North American pro football, at least in the proportion they're using it in.

zubazpirate Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The Argonauts seem to have an aversion to being truly "double blue"... they always seem to want to be just one or the other. It's rare that they ever have a look that makes effective use of both shades. This is not a bad look, its charm lies more in the fact that it is very modern in terms of the design touches as opposed to being exceptionally well executed. I agree with the posters who have said that it needs more of the Oxford Blue. Maybe in the pants or otherwise. As it stands this looks like a great alt but not quite right as a primary. The previous poster does make a good point that it's a unique look in pro football, so I suppose I have to give the Argos their due on that front. Finally, maybe this is just my thriftiness, but I'd be slightly annoyed if I was an Argonauts fan. Anyone who bought the previous Argos jersey (the glorified practice jersey with no striping) got screwed. Now not only are they stuck with the same plain jane jersey, it's the wrong colour now.

I don't hate it either, but I'd like to see CCN or CNC as options in the future.

Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The Argos kinda blew it here. Navy jersey and socks with light blue helmet and pants would have been fantastic. Instead we get more monochrome garbage. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I don't mind it. I like the color scheme. I don't get the "Wings" on the shoulders. I don't know what it represents, let alone anything related to the team and name. It has a futuristic vibe to it. It will grow on me. I have no choice lol.

The EE is iconic in Edmonton, and going away from it (or the Esks name for that matter) was a mistake in the first place. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
