nas1787 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Montreal: They've always gone with this type of look. I don't love it but I completely understand why it's being used. Can you explain this? I find their look just atrocious, and I really don't understand it. Is it based on a historic look of some sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northender Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm really not understanding the love for those Argos uniforms either. If you ask me, they've never looked better than they do right now.Pant stripe pattern doesn;t match the shoulders. Kind of drives me crazy but I am OCD like that.

Helmet doens't match the colour scheme at all anymore, And the logo, just has to go. Every season I hooe and pray they come up with something new only to be dissappointed, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find their look just atrocious, and I really don't understand it. Is it based on a historic look of some sort?Yeah, like I said, I don't love it either. It seems like just strips of fabric sewn together at random. But to explain it..... It's based on their look from the 1970s. Once they came back (re-located from Baltimore) they went with a similar look (a blue jersey and a white jersey with the opposite coloured sleeves) and it's slowly kind of evolved but the one consistent is the jersey is one colour and the sleeves are a different colour.But as they say...a picture is worth a thousand words, so this link will probably show you better than my attempt to explain it.

IceCap Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 They've also had a lot of success in the current look. So changing it is going to run up against resistance.

Jer15 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I get that the CFL was trying to do something different with those uniforms for the American Expansion teams. It was stupid and looked weird, but I at least get it.But when they did this in 1995...that was possibly the worst CFL uniform ever (at least in my opinion).

pokecat12 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Best uniform in the CFL. I second that. The shade of blue in the unis for them in the 1980's and 1990's were just gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The CFL might be less commercialized than the NFL, but the sponsor patches and needless advertisements on CFL jerseys clutter their look up way too much.The ads are far from "needless".Without access to their books, I don't know that to be the case.Three teams are public, so you can look at their annual reports.

IceCap Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I grew up during the 90s too and I find those to be ridiculous in the worst way.

MJWalker45 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Sadly I think they copied NFL Europe with these 90's jerseys. The European jerseys were better conceived though. No blank areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
