colinturner95 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Toronto Argonauts - Home & Away - How fitting that this series ends with the champions, in quite the thrilling Grey Cup game. Despite the thrilling nature of the game, the uniforms of the Argos does not carry the same. They got really simple with the uniforms, and it just doesn't work for me. Helmets - Stripes return to the helmets, this time based on the stripes that return to the jerseys. Gave both an option for the full boat logo and the A logo. Jerseys - Like I mentioned above, the stirpes return to the sleeves, from the 2016 Adidas uniforms. I did keep the Argo Blue numbers outlined in white on the navy jersey. Pants & Socks - The pants keep the same stripe as the helmet, which is basically a chopped version of the full sleeve stripe. Socks are striped like the navy jersey Toronto Argonauts - Alternate & Heritage: The Alternate uniform introduces us to the white helmet, designed like its navy counterpart. The jersey goes for the Argo Blue and pares down the stripe to something more like the pants stripe, sort of like the 2008 throwback uniforms. Pants are just like the previous two, socks match the jerseys. the Heritage uniform celebrates the Argonauts as the "oldest existing professional sports team in North America still using its original name, as well as the oldest-surviving team in both the modern-day CFL and East Division". Helmet - The helmet crosses several eras, a Argo Blue helmet from around the 50's & 60's, with a faux leather pattern from the early days of Argonauts football/rugby, with a navy strip, also from the 50's/60's. Jersey - I felt like white would make this jersey work the best for what I wanted. Shoulder stripes from the 1933 uniform. The repeating stripes come from the 1955 uniforms, but use the 1983 style stripes. On the chest, the number moves up to the chest, with a big A now taking the place of the number, like the 1906 sweater. The numbers on the front and back, and the A have a faux-retro stitching pattern. Pants - With much of the attention going to the jersey, the pants just use a skinnier 1983 stripe. Socks match the sleeves of the uniform. Toronto Argonauts - Apparel - The apparel for the Boatmen follows along with the rest of their CFL companions, for them navy and Argo Blue heather merch, using only the boat logo on this stuff. Have I ever mentioned that I love a good double blue scheme? The throwback merch sees navy take a backseat for white, the A logo taking center stage for the most part, with the oldest boat logo the mothership has for the Argos. Designer's Choices - The light blue makes everything look sexy as hell, so that long-sleeve would probably be my first choice. White hats are a pain to keep clean, but I'd take either of the throwback hats, or possibly the split long-sleeve. Well that's a wrap. Thank you all for following along, and we'll see you again with something soon! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 The white heritage for the Argos may be my favorite of the entire series. Only small note is the Argos boat helmet sticker can face forward since the A is symmetrical. But like, if that's the only gripe you did extremely well.

CLEFAN94 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 This has been an incredible series to follow. You did an amazing job on every set! one question, would you be against doing the twice teased Atlantic Schooners? I’ve always wanted the CFL to be a 10 team league (ADD pet peave) and I think you’ve done the best representation of the league so far. I’d like to see what your take on them would be.

I’ve always wanted the CFL to be a 10 team league (ADD pet peave) and I think you’ve done the best representation of the league so far. I’d like to see what your take on them would be. Why not? Atlantic Schooners - Home & Away - The twice-teased Maritimes-based CFL franchise takes the field in a teal/grey/gold scheme, one that combines the power of the sea with the the might of the schooner (someone insert the Soldier Boy quote of him saying he sounds like a jackass). No, in all seriousness, teal was a popular choice for the team and to avoid comparisons to the US Naval Academy football team, I thought grey provided a good dark contrast color with the gold. Helmet - Teal, with a gold facemask and the revamped primary logo on the sides. Jerseys - Teal and white, both with grey sleeve caps and a captains stripe. The number font, I wanted something that looked "sturdy", like an old warship. Pants/Socks - Pants have the same style stripes as the jerseys. As do the socks, which come in grey-striped or teal-solid options. Atlantic Schooners - Alternate & Logos - The Alternate uniform goes grey, save for the helmet which switches to white. The idea for the grey jersey was "a ship rolling through thick fog" which sees the sleeve caps change to a lighter shade of grey. And larger versions of logo, which uses the same style A from the 80's team's bid, cleaned up a little, with a new, more pronounced ship.

rorinator Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 This series was great! The uniforms are all vibrant, tasteful, and distinct even with two teams with the letter 'A' and a boat on their helmet. If anything I might flip that vessel on the Argos's helmet so it's sailing forward, but that's super minor. Anyways, congrats so much on being hired by Fanatics, you'll be making some great stuff if the talent you've demonstrated on the boards is to carry over - which I'm sure it will!

I appreciate you taking the time to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyamesField Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Absolutely fantastic. Loved the Tigercats and Argos throwbacks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomba Tomba Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Change the logo on the Schooner set and it would work as a Jags set, better than their current Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
