I'd love to be wrong, but I've got a sinking feeling that there's going to be a lot of pissed off Lions fans coming to this board next month to commiserate once the new Adidas jerseys are unveiled. Why? Well, first, they took a really good idea (the gun metal 3rds) and buried it faster than Jimmy Hoffa. Sure, they may have been an announcer's worst nightmare (the numbers could have easily been tweaked), but the players and most fans loved them. Except Skulsky.
And therein lies my pessimism. I don't trust his fashion sense.
Just go to any outlet that sells Lions gear. BC Place, Sports N Stuff, YVR, online - you name it - and you'll see 50 different shades of orange on Lions gear. Brownish orange, bright orange, burnt orange....basically every different orange pantone - it's a mess. The club is so sloppy in what it allows its licensed goods manufacturers to produce, it shows me there's no QC at the top. Add in the panic and poor decision making that losing organizations with dwindling fan bases seem to make, and the club's pandering to win over younger fans, and this spells potential disaster.
