I would be happy if the CFL adopted all 70s retros…they were that good.
Montreal, Winnipeg, and BC (to me) represented significant uniform improvements over the current home look.
I prefer Saskatchewan’s 70s uniform too because, like the NY Jets, it was just green and white (no black), and I prefer the classic “Safeway” helmet logo design. Toronto’s was the only one that didn’t quite work (needed a stripe about the base of the sleeve or something). A little too bland. Also, didn’t like Calgary’s red and silver. Would have preferred red and white from their '71 Grey Cup winning team.
IMO Calgary has the best helmets in the league. Glad they haven’t changed them.
I don’t think the logos would change. I think changing that is a decision the owner makes, not the jersey manufacturer. I wouldn’t worry about any logo alterations.
Didn’t quite work?! That is the understatement of the year. No striping on the jersey or helmet, and no light blue anywhere on the uniform except for a tiny speck on the socks. It was a ridiculous “design” that did a massive disservice to a team that has been the Double Blue for more than 140 years, apart from a brief and regrettable interlude (1995-2004) as the Dark Blue-and-Slate Green.
I like the current Sask jerseys, but myself I’m not a fan of the TiCat jerseys, mainly that yellow piping around the neck/shoulder area. Same goes for the other teams that are using that style, BC and Calgary. Some of the Nike designs would be an improvement over some of the current CFL unis, in my opinion.
That being said, I don’t like any of the Nike designs where it looks like they’re trying to emphasize the shoulder pads by putting a different pattern on them, for example, the Patriots, the Ravens, and the Eagles, among others. The Bengals and the Steelers unis get a thumbs down from me too. I wouldn’t throw them all in the trash, though.
Hamilton has by far the sharpest looking jerzys in the league! the gold piping is just awesome, very clean and sharp. only thing i'd like to see is more black and gold stripes on the sleeve, circa 67... I'd also love to see a new Gold jerzy with updated black stripes.
as for the other 7 teams well...
if it ait black and gold who gives a Oskie.
lol.
just kiddin' !
winnipegs jerzyes are boring as hell, asid from the "retro" gold and blue.
-EDIT-
The bombers have the single worst logo in the League, and really should switch to the solid blue W on their retro helmets full time. It's timeless.
and SSK NEEEEEEDs to go back to silver pants. WTF?
I'm really neither here nor there about CGY... but the Red and wite is nicer than Red and Black... they're gonna have to give those colours back to Ottawa soon.
I really wish the CFL would make the Retro game a permanent annual event. As a side note, I've always been partial to the Ti-Cats alternate gold jersey, but I can understand that it doesn't appeal to everyone.
