Geez, they’re going to ruin Labour Day with retro? The retro uniforms are butt ugly, for all teams. I think it makes the league look cheap. Anyone who is maybe seeing the CFL for the first time will have a bad impression of the league I think.
I know they’re trying to pay respect to the earlier eras but we can do without the throwback uniforms I think. In fact, all the teams have so many different uniforms for special occasions and mixing and matching, it’s like they’re schizophrenic. I would like to see two straight home games where they wear the same uniform - the real uniform. I don’t think we’ve seen that the last two years.
Hamilton didn’t have black helmets untill the late 80’s, and i don’t think WPG at any point wore dark blue helmets with a yellow stripe.
teams that got it right,
BC
MTL
TOR ( :x , to my shagrin )
CGY
SSK (although i thought they had a double white stripe, yet helmets were solid green)
EDM (I believe)
how come we get a slap in the face with such historical inaccuaracy? If we are going to pretend tha Hamilton wore black helmets in the 60’s and 70’s, then we might as well pretend Angelo Mosca played for the Rough Riders!
There are only 18 games in a season… how many retro games do we need? I was totally dissapointed in the game I went to this year… the Retro uni’s were stupid!
I don't what the fuss about the uniforms is , who cares what the uniforms look like if the team is winning or playing good football is all that should matter. the retro uniforms or other uniforms the teams might wear is all done to sell new jerseys to the fans of the teams , the more jerseys sold might offset ticket price increases or at least keep the increase small.
8) I agree with you regarding all the fuss about the uniforms, as long as we're winning !!!
As far as your second point regarding that the more jerseys sold might keep future ticket price increases low, then we all better go out a buy a new retro jersey right now !!!! <!-- s:wink: -->:wink:<!-- s:wink: --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
