Well, I dislike the Leo's jersey's once again. I just don't like orange being the dominate base for the color. I would have preferred something along the lines of Hamilton's where black was the base then they could have had orange trim or pinstripes around the lettering and numbers. A cpl members have already suggested something like Hamilton's but replace the gold with orange, that would have been a better start and so much more appealing to me so I agree with you. I also agree with those here who mentioned those ugly freaking sponsorship logos that almost ruin whatever color/design they would have come out with. CFL, please stop that! You can have sponsorship badges on a jersey with out them right your face and ruining the jersey.
My main gripe is that I want to be able to wear my lion's jersey whenever I feel like it and not feel so flashy. I have many jersey's from different sporting leagues that pull this off quite well. Even the Lion's have had these jersey designs in the past. As it stands right now, the Lion's jersey is just too "bright" for me and not something I would want to wear on non-game days. Something "meaner" would have been nicer for a pro football jersey, imo.
I guess we can only hope for change when Reebok's deal runs out and Nike or somebody else takes over. I think I read that Reebok was done after this or 2013 season and then Nike was taking over jersey production... Unless things have changed?
