Toronto Argonauts Debut 1983 Alts

The Toronto Argonauts debuted their 1983-edition alternate jerseys in last night's game vs. Calgary. 1983 was a big year for the Argonauts because that year, they managed to end a longstanding championship drought by winning the Grey Cup over the hometown BC Lions at Vancouver's then-new BC Place Stadium.

I think Reebok did a pretty good job of staying true to the originals, which to my mind are one of the most iconic looks in CFL history (although I'm pretty sure there was no Nissan tag back then :P )

Here it is, as seen on QB Ricky Ray and RT Jarriel King:

Here's a scene from the 1983 Grey Cup, where Dan Ferrone and A Guy I Don't Recognize are hoisting the Grey Cup after a 31-year long championship drought for Toronto:

Slap the current Jason logo on the helmet and you've got perfection.

It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

That football logo with the A in the sail is the perfect one... the jersey is also perfect so best for the Argos to switch over from what they wear now to that 1983 set for good...

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.
