I really respect when franchises can maintain a simple logo, rather than continually changing it. It's a sign of success. However, I loved the antlers. It was unique look that perfectly fitted the new brand and was something different than the typical letter/image on the side.

TrueBlue4ever Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I thought the antlers could have been a good look, but the concept was poorly executed. A number of alternate designs were put forward. The design on this green helmet was a better version IMO, although not perfect. Also, the design at #1 in this grouping was an improvement over what they went with in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the shoulder patch logo was a lot better although #1 of that grouping as you said looks nice. Triple colour helps a lot. Course everything beats a plain ole W.

JCon Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I liked the antlers but the EE is just so simple and classic. Bring the antlers back as an alternative every so often. Noeller and wbbfan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch. Did anyone else notice that the word success almost has as many S's as the Riders have Grey Cups....and it's only a 7 letter word.

Even just the EE gloves with antlers would be cool. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They change more often than a guy's underwear with diarrhea who is always late to the bathroom. They also better not mess with our logo & uniforms. On 2022-03-04 at 12:38 PM, wbbfan said: Agree.

National cfl media says this every year. And it's never true. The west lost Reilly but the east didn't gain any one either. Fajardo and vaj are a wash. Masoli vs Maier and blm edge Calgary. Mbt vs heavy balls is a draw in my books. Edm has 3 really good development guys. Collaros over Evans all day. Then you have bc with little more than hope and a passport. I think you could argue mbt and edm is a win for tor. And that's fine. I'd rather have edms qbs than tors all day. But even then the west wins. But really If you want a success indicator compare lines. Edited March 10, 2022 by wbbfan SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 I still hold to the opinion that they ought to have changed the Eskimos' name to "The Edmonton Ungulates". Sounds classy. the watcher and BBlink 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
