  1. Ottawa's with black helmets could be their primary and look great.

    Hamilton's and BC's are plan black, but usually less is more and the simplicity of them is nice

    I wasn't a fan of the Als at first, but they do look sharp

    Toronto's are basically just another white jersey

     

     

     

    ...then there's ours and the Riders....

  2. I've never understood the North American obsession with having one team white and one team colour every game. If World Cup soccer can have two teams wearing their respective colours during a game, why can't any of the North American leagues? We're blue, Saskatchewan is green... people can't tell those colours apart?

     

    More chance to wear the royal blues that we don't get to see often enough.... or not.

  3. TLDR answer: No.

     

    Long answer...

    It's on the players to not commit fouls, and it's on the refs to make the correct calls, and not fabricate idiotic ones (nice the unecessary roughness call agaist Montreal)

     

    What I would *really* like to see, is perhaps some more emphasis on "best perspective", since there have been numerous times where a "penalty" is called by one ref when another one is standing right there and doesn't throw his flag.

    This is from a game between Edmonton and Toronto a few years ago... the ball, receiver and DB are all in the top circle, along with a ref along the sidelines. On this play, the ref in the lower oval threw a PI flag from the far hash marks... that's 40 yards away. What did he *think* he saw from that far away the the guy standing RIGHT THERE didn't? There have been more occurances of this this year too, and it drives me crazy every single time.

     

    Accountability? Yes, privately... but absolutely better training.

  4. The schedule has a real LOLCFL feel to it. Bye weeks for teams at the start and end of the season? Seriously?  Usually the idea is for all the teams to be playing the last few weeks to create more hype for the casual fan.

     

    Well, considering there is an odd number of teams now... how would they get around it?

  5. What's the worst that can happen? We get mired in a season of constant losses, weird play decisions, dropping attendance, games over by half, and a circus show worth of Toronto city hall in the office?

     

    Oh. Wait.

     

    I'm tired of the firings. I'm tired of the constant change. I'm sick of this team having a different identity every. Single. Year. This year was so bad, I forgot they were even playing some weeks. They needed to clear house *this time*, I want it to be the last for a while.

     

    I'll give a rookie coach a chance, because I just want it to be fun again... but can we at least give whoever it turns out to be at least a couple years unmolested?

  6. Pickles or briefs?

     

    I was thinking "Boxers or take the escalator?"

     

    *If* they were exclusive, I'll take the stadium 11.63568 times out of 10. That said, I still expect improvement, because it's lovely to go sit in the stadium, but it ain't cheap, and I want my time and money to at least entertain me and not give me ulcers.

     

    The circus is beyond frustrating. I've been indifferent to a lot of the hirings and firings over the past several years, but it's getting really hard to stay interested.  The money wasting is obscene.

     

    I want to love my team again.

  7. If Cortez was available I would grab him ASAP.

     

    Durant is a whiner who kills OC's by not believing in what they want to do (which naturally affects his play within their systems) unless it's exactly what he wants to do.  He's just lucky that he is pretty talented and has a couple of exceptionally good receivers (Dressler specifically). 

     

    I'm pretty sure he single handedly had Marshall run out of town.

     

    ...or so I've always believed.
