Ottawa has unveiled their 10th anniversary logo, and has also announced that a new jersey is going to be released in May. The team president has hinted at the jersey being "retro inspired", so my guess would be a modern version of the classic Rough Riders look to match the alternate helmet they've worn.

If you ever find yourself asking, "Should I add a fourth outline to this?" the answer is almost always NO.

The Riders will apparently have a fourth jersey in the rotation this season which will have three shades of green and use the logo that the team trademarked a couple years ago.

 

Not the official logo, but a colouring of the black and white logo found in the trademark application.

Per this article, the jersey, helmet and socks will all be the dark green.

Looks like these are going to be the logos for the 2024 Grey Cup

Festival logo is pretty generic, though there's nothing wrong with it.

 

The actual Grey Cup logo looks like they took the template from last year's game in Hamilton and just removed the skyline in favour of that orange pattern. I'm still trying to figure out what the shape is supposed to be,

 

Grey Cup Logo Primary Logo (2023) - The 2023 Grey Cup Logo (or the Grey Cup 110 Logo) shows the Grey Cup in silver rising above the skyline of the host city of Hamilton on a yellow sky. GREY CUP is arched across the front of the trophy with the CFL logo above and HAMILTON 110 below in white and yellow. Grey Cup 110 is played on November 19, 2023. SportsLogos.Net

They're just doing the same thing as the Super Bowl does with that line under the trophy. Except instead of placing the colors inside the Roman numerals they're letting it run around inside the skyline area.

The wheat helmet stripe is great, everything else is terrible. It's absurd that the wheat stripe isn't replicated on the pants.

Or sleeve trim.

I'm actually digging that new Roughriders alternate. Feels like a spiritual successor to the old "signature" uniforms the CFL had some years ago that were more on the fun/non-traditional side. The logo is nice too - it's clear from the language in the press release that this is really a trial balloon to see if that logo is popular enough to warrant a full-time switch to it as the new primary.

 

Still nothing on the new RedBlacks uniform, eh? You think we would have seen it by now. Originally was set for unveiling in May, now the website says June... I expect them to unveil it soon, it's Ottawa's bye week on week 1 so there's just a little over a week from their home opener - you think they'd want time for fans to get buy some jerseys before the first big game?

I'm not a Riders fan so I have no particular dog in this fight, but to me the current  revamped 1980s-era Rider logo is pretty iconic in Canada, there must be a lot of value there. I'd be surprised if they scrapped it or shunted it to the side in what I assume is an effort to ramp up merch sales.

Definitely better than their previous home uniform, but still has some flaws. Should definitely have gone with white pants instead of the monochrome look (or at least thrown the helmet/jersey stripe onto the black pants), and the wordmark on the chest makes things too cluttered with the patches.
