there are always lots of suckers willing to buy any new uniform.MikeAK wrote:I have to wonder if the love for our team is blinding some of you. These new Uniforms are disgusting. One of the worst looking in the CFL. They look cheap come and across as very amateurish. Watching game one with my group we had many comments about how they look like an arena football league team. I get what their trying to do, at least I think I do. Trying to attract new younger audiences, but damn. I can't imagine they sell many of these.

The numbers and name plate look cheap and I do not like the jersey enough to buy one, but I am an old guy and don't consider myself a very good judge of fashion or what looks good. So if young people like it and will buy it than:KnowItAll wrote:there are always lots of suckers willing to buy any new uniform.MikeAK wrote:I have to wonder if the love for our team is blinding some of you.

Im leaning towards the away jersey but thats not saying much. Thnx BB
Wear orange or wear nothing
I like the away jersey much better than the home jersey now that I've seen it on TV. It's cleaner and the numbers and names are easier to read.Ballistic Bob wrote:Im leaning towards the away jersey but thats not saying much. Thnx BB
Compared to our home jersey I will at least admit to liking them better. The orange and white didn't look as terrible. But those helmets. Give me back our logo or make them a solid orange or white. Just doesn't look like my Lions. But I'm an old school guy who hates change. I want a football jersey to look mean. These look like something my fiance wears to her yoga classes.B.C.FAN wrote:I like the away jersey much better than the home jersey now that I've seen it on TV.

I dunno. I would submit that the new orange and black home jerseys with the black buckets look a lot meaner than the old orange and whites with white lids.MikeAK wrote:Compared to our home jersey I will at least admit to liking them better.

You're as old as you've ever been and as young as you're ever going to be.
We'll have to agree to disagree. I don't find anything mean about our jersey's whatsoever. I find them cheap looking and, like I mentioned before, something we'd expect to see on an arena team. Different strokes for different folks though. As long as the on field product is solid I guess it really doesn't matter much. Might sound harsh but I hope these don't sell well so they are forced to redesign them.Hambone wrote:I dunno.

I have "sent" a tweet to the Lions and Adidas Canada asking if they could confirm or deny the rumour I heard that the Lions will be unveiling a third jersey this year. So far, radio silence...
But I see the Als used their third jerseys last game, even though it began life as a Reebok product.

No doubt their will be a 3rd jersey. I'm just not looking forward to what it's going to look like.CardiacKid wrote:I have "sent" a tweet to the Lions and Adidas Canada asking if they could confirm or deny the rumour I heard that the Lions will be unveiling a third jersey this year.
