Bigblue204 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 They could have done a better job. There are jerseys out there that are refreshing and new and push the boundaries without matching the colors of another team in the same damn league. You can attract new young fans and please the ones you already have. This one while it may attract a couple new fans, will turn most hardcore fans off. It could have been a very good money grab...like I'm assuming BC's are...if they were done even remotely well. Sure I may be jumping the gun on the entire look being garbage...but those helmets....just so bad. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I can't complain about the league doing this, it's not like we are the first to roll out special jerseys.. Every other league that I can think of has been doing it for awhile now.. The more I look at the helmet, the more I'm anticipating the jerseys.. Personally, I'm a hat guy so I'm hoping some sweet pro-fits without straight beaks follow shortly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you mentioned smokes. Funny how the eyes play tricks when you read fast. My bad. However, having said that... Your "Get 'em while they're young' comment. The game are on television constantly. Do you think that if the CFL didn't have this signature look that kids wouldn't get hooked on football? I kind of doubt that. This is just a cash grab for mostly young male adults 17-30 with disposable income & not kids 5-10 to get them hooked on football. It's marketing to be sure but to an older age group who are already fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Personally, I'd only buy the Royal Blue., but folks have a choice of which of the 4 uni's they will buy. I doubt the new ones will make up much of the total and most will be 'instead of', not 'in addition to' the other Jerseys. iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
