LeBird Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 For those saying the Bombers and Jeffrey Bannon had nothing to do with the design: “Our fans are absolutely going to love these innovative looks,” said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. “We respect tradition and our teams are very proud of our current home and away uniforms. But the CFL Signature Uniforms are intended to be bold and eye catching and push the envelope. And Reebok has worked hard with our franchises to deliver something really exciting.” The product of eighteen months of consultation, design and manufacturing, each CFL Signature Uniform will be worn by its team twice this year, and again into next season. http://www.cfl.ca/article/bold-new-cfl-signature-uniforms-coming-soon It took 18 months to do this? A two year old could have done that in say 10 minutes. Hmmmmm, looks like some are trying to escape the blame or might it have been:"We looked at your design but felt ours was better so stuff it". Why are we stuck with Reebok?
bearpants Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 I finally just watched some highlights of the Sask/Mtl game to get a feel for the Riders signature jersey.... their jerseys aren't great either... but at least they look like the Riders
Fraser Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 If the petition is to use the royal blues instead of these ones, better hurry, the game is on friday.. LOL.. if it's to wear the royal blues permanently, why bother.. It's not gonna happen. If its the former and not the later, i'd sign it. But if it's a petition to make them wear them all the time, There truly is no point. Okay. So you think there's no point. And plenty of others do. What's the point in arguing about it? We get your point. I feel like a fan petition to change a jersey but have more viability than a petition to the "aquarium people" to make them build an aquarium in Winnipeg. bigg jay 1

Obviously that was intended for the Aquarium President of Winnipeg Aquariums, division of Aquariums Manitoba. A ministry would just be redundant.

But its like you're actually insulted someone would attempt to petition for something they feel strongly about and are determined to shoot it down.
bigg jay Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 In that vein... here's a picture of the previously mentioned Aquarium President.
Fraser Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 I am actually kind of curious to know where the Aquarium petition was sent.
IC Khari Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 These guys are enjoying the new signature uniforms at the aquarium ...

Guest Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 Best mod I have seen so far. Hire this man: https://twitter.com/39Cads/status/502099408746717184/photo/1 Still doesn't look too great, but significantly better than the actual jersey.
Tracker Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 Put all the lipstick you want on that oinker, its still an oinker.
Jacquie Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 I was fooling around on Photoshop and thought it might be interesting to see what our current uniform would like like with a colour change. What do you think? Mr Dee, LeBird, FrostyWinnipeg and 3 others 6
LeBird Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 I was fooling around on Photoshop and thought it might be interesting to see what our current uniform would like like with a colour change. What do you think? Where were you when we needed you?
saskbluefan Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 Will shill for free jersey. #winnipegmedia
FrostyWinnipeg Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 Needs shiny gold in the unis which seems impossible even in the 21st century.
bearpants Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 I was fooling around on Photoshop and thought it might be interesting to see what our current uniform would like like with a colour change. What do you think? much better... I would like it if we took out the stupid gold stripe running down the side... make the sleeve all gold (no white piece) with a white W... then it's perfect...
BBlink Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 I was fooling around on Photoshop and thought it might be interesting to see what our current uniform would like like with a colour change. What do you think? Looks a little purply, but otherwise awesome.
Goalie Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 Well, regardless of my thoughts on the petition, it's pretty damn telling when the bombers are giving people 30$ off coupons towards the purchase of the new jersey if you bring a tin of food to the game. Tells you all you really need to know about what they think about the jersey. Also the fact that there is literally barely any mention of it on the main site is telling too, It's almost like the bombers are completely ignoring it and are only wearing it cuz they are being told too, that's pretty obvious actually but... I guarantee with the lack of marketing for it, the lack of just really, the ignoring it on the main site, my guess, we see it once and then it's forgotten quickly, Bombers probably don't want people to remember it even. It's pretty obvious that they are not too happy with it. You got the ALS ice bucket challenge video up, the press conferences, but barely any mention of the "jersey".
BigBlue Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 After watching the new uniforms on TV tonight, I must say I hate them even more than our all gold uniforms (or for that matter the all whites) I can't decide whether they remind me more of floral curtains or my wife's print skirt .... Bob Irving describes the helmets as bowling balls This latest gimmick is pure stupidity and betrays the game, the league and team Football has great traditions and class .... reflected in classical colours and simplicity These uniforms are a travesty and anathema to our great game Shoot the delivery boy and the ones who sent him
