And the CFL/BB never disappoint what would this league be without those quaint screw ups ...... Can I buy one .....errr Sorry not yet sir ! Except neither of them screwed up. Adidas did...

I've seen these comments written all over the place saying how they blame the Bombers. So many people too lazy to click on and read the articles.
May 17, 20169 yr comment_196534 The only screw up by the Bomber IMO is the fact they held on to the navy blue colour scheme faaaaaaaar too long (talking years and years) when they knew the fans wanted royal blue back. For whatever reason the team remained stubborn about it but finally realized they weren't going to win and finally changed. http://www.cfl.ca/2016/05/16/dunk-new-threads-adidas-come-18-months-making/ in this article it says the teams were consulted with every part of the design, not sure the Bombers had that option when Reebok was doing it, so I'll cut them some slack. In this case however Adidas messed up, not the team ... Edited May 17, 20169 yr by IC Khari
May 17, 20169 yr comment_196540 Like most, not a fan on the blue shoulders on the road, but I don't have a huge problem with it or anything. I did think it looked a lot worse initially when all you could see was the upper body and a bit of the gold pants so the shoulders seemed out of place, but then after seeing the head to toe shot the blue socks actually tie it all together decently so it's a bit more acceptable.
May 17, 20169 yr comment_196545 I'll take royal blue and no "piping" over what we had, even with a few things that aren't exactly as I would do them. I think it's cool actually that we have a bit of an update on the classic royal blue jersey (something I wished the fans had the option of buying for the last ten seasons or so). That way we actually still have a classic uniform to go to if needed (no not the navy blue ). Edited May 17, 20169 yr by IC Khari

May 17, 20169 yr comment_196555 It shocked me when I saw it because I wasn't expecting it, but boy do I ever like it.
May 17, 20169 yr comment_196560 The old away is good but could be considered a bit boring I guess. I like the new one, a bit more interesting. It's all personal taste ...
May 17, 20169 yr comment_196584 Just wondering why the pants are so light in colour. Why not a deeper gold to match the helmets & stripes on the jersey.

I wondered that too - they look like the same colour of gold they used for the (thankfully) old uniforms. In the cfl.ca article about the new uniforms they have a photo of Willy and Dressler (I think?) wearing the new uniform and the gold for the pants looks darker (and nicer), matching the helmet. Maybe when they did the press conference they didn't have the new pants and just wore the old ones? Seems odd that they would have the press conference without the proper pants, but hopefully the pants will be a darker gold.

May 17, 20169 yr comment_196590 Looks darker in a "certain" light maybe when they're wet it'll be a perfect match LOL ...

If you're super gung-ho about the blue shoulders, and I guess many are, then right on.

I think most fans aren't in love with them either as you say but just relieved we got the Royal Blues back so they are willing to overlook the yolk.
May 18, 20169 yr comment_196613 I personally love the white with the blue shoulders. I think I like them more then the full blue. Edited May 18, 20169 yr by Logan007

The press conference was held in the locker room and they had spotlights on the players. Hence why the gold looks lighter in these pictures. The light was casting a slight glare.
May 18, 20169 yr comment_196691 I didn't see any evidence of a large blue stripe on the leg like Harrs wore at the CFL unveiling video. That stripe is very prevalent & stands out. I think they used different pants here in Winnipeg.
