StoneRaizer Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Something old - White helmets, a nod to the original Montreal Alouettes. The silver helmet looks okay but in my opinion silver isn't a very prominent colour in their colour scheme and shouldn't be the main colour for such an important part of the football uniform. I kept the MONTREAL text across the front because I happen to really like how it looks and doesn't look out of place. Conveniently the NHL's San Jose Sharks jersey font matched perfectly.Something new - Brand spanking new threads for the Als. Their original set when they first moved back to Montreal was a really nice set but didn't capture the history of the Montreal Alouettes. The current threads are a bit of a throwback but it looks very dated. I wanted to capture the history of the Alouettes with the white helmets and garnet uniforms and a nod to Montreal culture, see below for explanation.Something borrowed - The arm stripes are taken directly from fellow Montreal team, the Montreal Canadiens with the red outline, blue stripes with white in the middle and a large logo in the middle.Something blue - One of the very few, if not the first time a Saint Jean Baptiste Day alternate has been created. I got the idea from the Toronto Blue Jays and their red Canada Day alts. The blue is taken directly from the Quebec flag and I replaced the Canadiens stripes on the arms with the Quebec flag. I used a wide single white stripe on the pants to reflect the wide white stripes on the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabooch83 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Nice set. I think they have one of the best logos in professional sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
