Evil Doctor Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Gotta say, I was hopeful that this would be a good look, but nope. It just doesn't go with the road uniforms. They need a major redesign of the uniforms to make the helmet look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I wanted to wait, and see it on the field to see if it worked, and it did not. Excluding Montreal, and maybe Edmonton, ALL the CFL retro jerseys are better than their current set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 It will take some getting used to that is for sure. Poorly excuted, if it had a white stripe in the middle or a red outline around the horse, it might look okay.

Patchey13 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Black helmet really clashes with the red shoulders and throws off the whole balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramrod Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Calgary always have had a red and WHITE colour scheme up until the last decade, so whoever said, they always have had black should check your factspersonally think these are going to look wierd, but i wont judge them until i see them in action, June 24th should be the debut in their 2nd pre-season gameThe last decade? LOL... You're the one who should check your facts. The Stampeders have used black since at least the early 80's and possibly before that. Here's a 1985 pic; That's the look I remember from the 80's. You can't see it here, but the roads had solid black lettering on the NOBs as well...As for the black helmet, it kind of fits with the uniforms given how ugly those things are (Heh). Some red on the helmet would help, either as a stripe or an outline on the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 The unis in this video from 71, look much better.Here they are last season in 70's throwbacks--and although they were awful for most of the 70's (72-78)(Sorry Eskimo fans) Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

Northender Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Agreed...horrible road look for the Stampeders, and getting worse each year. Not to mention, this ridiculous secondary logo on the sleeves. http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=6804Looks like my highschool team logo...which was probably drawn by a 14 year old in art class.

thespleenenator Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I have to say, the red yolk ruins the uniform. The black helmet and pants actually, to my surprise, looked great. But the Jersey is awful. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apeman33 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 As near as I've been able to tell, Calgary's second color has changed several times. The 60's throwbacks appeared to be red and some shade of gold. The late 70's and 80's, silver was more prominent than black. I'm not sure if in fact black was just included for trim and wasn't even an official team color at the time. I always liked the 80's look with Silver. IMO, Calgary has the worst look in the CFL. It's not even close, even considering the ultra-busy Alouettes' designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Actually I think the Ti-Cats came out of the RBK redesign for the better. The logos were a definite upgrade at the very least.

Lee. Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 The TiCats logos had nothing to do with RBK, they started that process prior to the league takeover with Studio Simon. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable, since that makes the brand consistent. But at the same time, your changed the number font from matching B.C.'s (varsity block, basically) to matching Winnipeg's (the most obvious difference is the 2's). Now SSK and WPG have pretty much the same jersey design except for the colors and that WPG doesn't have the thin stripe on the front of the shoulders. And they're each other's biggest rival. Compare the primaries...Saskatchewan:Winnipeg:WHY? This would be as if Nike decided to switch Ohio State to a look that includes a winged helmet.

He asked to take a few home, and gave one to my dad. Turns out this one was Richie Hall's, the former coach of the Edmonton Eskimos (and current DC of the Roughriders).As for the black helmets though, I really don't see why they wanted them (their red helmets are much better). I don't think anyone would complain if they went back to these uniforms, or even simplified versions of what they're currently wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Stamps have broken out the black alt jerseys with the black helmets, black pants and red socks for the Labour Day game vs. Edmonton today. A bit jarring to eye. The red socks seem kinda tacked on. If you get a closeup shot of a Stamps player in the sun, though, you can really see the red flakes in the helmet paint well.

The only thing that looks good is the red helmet, and they're using it less and less. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
