Phil Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 I contacted my in at the CFL, and was told it's all said and done.The gaudy mistakes they will make have already been made. The new classics they will accidentally stumble upon have already been accidentally stumbled upon. The grave crime of not contacting the CCSLC when redesigning has already been committed.Yes, I am that cynical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't mention any.He did mention that with (club president) Bauer soon being out of the office, things around there will be getting thrown off a little. So I'm not surprised they don't have a date in the first place, and if they did have one, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets changed.On another note, get well soon Lyle!

Phil Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 This picture has been making the rounds. Anyone else disheartened yet?There's no word as to whether they're confirmed to be like this, but this could surpass the NBDL in terms of conformity......please see below...

ReginaCanuck Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 man, i really hope they don't use the same template for all the teams, ala WNBA.although, in that pic, the only two jerseys from different teams with the same stripes are the Renegades and the Eskimos alternate (although the Edmonton one also has horizontal sleeve stripes). i think the Argos pic had the same striping as Ottawa, though. who knows. all the player unveilings so far have used last year's designs.

Brian in Boston Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 What a hideous homogenization of the entire league. And talk about a merchandising cash grab: "Let's roll out third jerseys for all nine teams!" Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 any more pictures of jersey syphi? that are in good shape like the eskis,lions,and renegades you posted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I really think the Renegades shouldn't change their jerseys, they look perfect the way they are, and the number style they have is excellent. These new jerseys look subpar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezus_Ghoti Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 These uniforms are gonna be a big test for the CFL. A lot is going well for the league. Ratings are up, attendance is up, pretty much no franchises are in danger of folding... could the league-wide introduction of horrible uniforms be something that the league can withstand, or will it turn around the CFL's recent string of good fortune?

TFoA Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I have a feeling this will work... That Lions jersey has to be the most blatant recolor/rehash of another teams uniforms in another major league that I have ever seen, and the fact that they took it from MY team just utterly disgusts me Other than that, I kinda like the rest of the jerseys, especially the Riders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 They're a little too similar to each other for my tastes-esp Renegades & Riders--but the Esks didn't change much--and the alt should work...As for the Stamps--I'd seen the Renegades third & the Lions third as supposedly the Stamps...It is possible these will just be fashion or "replica" jerseys...
