GeorgesL Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 HAM are excellent. Congrats.I must admit they do look nice because of the retro feel. But they need the gold stripe on the helmets.no stripes on the cuffs for Alsother than that look the sameAs an Als fan, I expected better. It's nice they didn't change anything drastic, but the "ALOUETTES" in block letters on the home jerseys is definitely not needed. Also I want to see them use the white helmet for the roads, which by the way the road jerseys still look nice! (They did win 3 Grey Cups in those jerseys, if I remember correctly. LOL)Steelers-ish but still stripes. http://www.argonauts.ca/article/new-jerseys-look-to-future-with-nod-to-pastThe Argos may suck, and will always suck. But at least they got the uniforms right.

kw11333 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 To be fair about Sask, that is def a replica jersey picture. Look at the collar. Still don't know why they need black in their jerseys, their throwback merch, outsells their regular stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeman33 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Well, I guess after day one, I'd rate what I've seen this way:1. Hamilton. Classic elements done right. I wish the helmet stripe would have stayed but I think this is my favorite look of the teams that have officially revealed. The previous number font would have still worked, IMO, but I gotta admit this is the best upgrade of a classic style I've seen in a while, edging out this year's Blue Jays by a shade. Grade: A.2. Montreal. And I think this is only going to be this high because they could have made their uniform worse but didn't. It's basically the same thing, except for the larger wordmark on the home uniform. Grade: B-minus.3. Toronto. I like the idea. I think it falls a little short. Light blue trim around the numbers would make them pop a little better and emphasize the double-blue tradition even more. Would have been nice to have seen stripes on the socks. Maybe those come later. And I don't get why Jason was ditched all those years ago but I'm happy they stayed with the shield instead of switching to the 70's A, which was what I was afraid they were going to do. Grade: C.4. Winnipeg. Getting rid of the piping and the template they shared with Sask. is a good start. But by mixing the retro helmet with a modern template, it looks as though they weren't actually sure where they wanted to go and tried to make everybody happy. And I'm not a fan of the gold road uniform. Grade: D. It could have been a C with a white roadie.And unofficially:5. Saskatchewan: If that really is the Riders' template. I hate it already. Those white panels are going to look stupid. It figures that my favorite CFL team would be the one to eff it up the most. Grade: F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the last one with the black shoulder horns was bad but this sets the bar of awful to new heights. A full marketing department and team of Reebok design "experts" can't come up with something better than this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 $110 for a replica without name or numbers. Blergh.

Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Why can't you buy a CFL replica jersey with numbers?There were plenty of jerseys with names and numbers at the Argos unveiling. For $180, which strikes me as ridiculous. But then again, I buy jerseys from thrift stores almost exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A two tone, green and white jersey would be unique to them. To me this is as dumb as the Leafs or Red Wings adding black. There is no point.

The home and away are both near perfect.The shoulder stripes on the away remind me of the retro Penguins jersey. Colour wise it's nice, but I would have prefered that they went with a true reverse with three light blue and two dark blue stripes, then I think it would be perfect. But hey, it's still a nice look, a solid effort...those bastards... Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docrocket Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 As someone who grew up watching the Argos in the 60's, I love the new look! I cannot wait until Hamilton plays Toronto and vice versa...that will be one of the best looking uni match-ups in sport.Saskatchewan, on the other hand...well, like Mom always taught me "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." I can haz sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the gimmicky nameplate typeface ditched for something a little more timeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
