walby2 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I hate hate HATE that Eskimos road costume... I actually think that awful green helmet will look better with that ugly jersey, if only to balance things out a little bit. Ideally, they'd go back to a nice white road jersey with no green panels or piping, a yellow helmet and yellow pants like in the old days. But in this age of Reebok, I doubt we'll see that happen (other than in the occasional throwback uni).The reception for the new jerseys throughout the league seems to reflect a "less is more" line of thinking. The super-busy unis, with Edmonton, Sask and Winnipeg being chief among them, seem a little outdated now... they would have been pretty amazing cutting-edge looks in 2003 but just look sort of tired now.

greyraven8 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Things to note about the Roughriders:- Helmets have numbers on the sides instead of the team logo. Lets hope it's a preseason thing.- There's a riders logo on the lower back. Reminds me of a Tramp Stamp.- The black piping is all over the place with all the players different jersey cuts.The Sask. jersey in the first picture is god awful. What is that is the corners below the last name - pockets to hold your gloves and other items Looks ridiculous. Hope they are not using these in the regular season.

habsfan1 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 - The Eskimos road jersey would be 5 times better if the green panels on the jersey were limited to only the arm sleeves. The cocoon-shaped panels are completely unnessesary. And what happened to the green helmet?- The Rough Riders jerseys would be better if they were just trashed and never be seen again. They should just use their retros full-time with updated logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Regarding the Riders numbered helmets. I think it's just a preseason thing, seeing as it's easier to identify a player by their number on the helmet from the sidelines, then it is the name on the back. They use those helmets in practice. We should definitely see the metallic /=S=/ come June 29th. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Better look at BombersUggg. As bad as the Roughriders' over-piped disasters are, as bad as the green-encased Eskimos' road look is, the Bombers' new look is by far the most disappointing look in the CFL since the unveiling. The return to the block W, along with the classic helmet design indicated that they wanted to go with a throwback look. Instead they went with a set that already looks dated. Sure, the same can be said about the new Roughriders' look, but at least they didn't tease a back to basics approach. The Winnipeg block W with that poor man's Falcons template just does not work.

The logo just pops so much more and can actually remain green instead of silver. Now if they kept the white and went to a full wraparound green logo it would be just about perfect.

nash61 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 If it looks anything like the Ti-Cats white helmets did, we're in for a treat. Other than that, I don't know what to think.
