Agreed. I will have to stop in at Sports 'n Stuff in Chilliwack next time I am off to the coast.....

I was surprised how retro the overall styling is, yet how different both home and away unis are from the Lion's historic uniforms.David wrote:* Let's not even talk about the away uniforms. Just an embarrassment; a complete afterthought. Orange on white? Different pantone than the home orange? Yuck. Creamsicles. This part of the unveiling should have been called "Orange Is The No Black."
* I don't like the logo redesign. It looks like a bloated orange polar bear (we now look more like the Edmonton Eskimos than the Edmonton Eskimos!).
* Traditional logo on the base of the back (like a 'tramp stamp' tattoo). Not a big fan.

its not a new logo. Just the design on the helmet. several major US colleges have helmet designs that don't incorporate the official logo.cromartie wrote:If that home jersey were a woman, it would never leave my house.
The away kit is total garbage, which I like to think is Skulsky's FU on the way out the door, but the home kit is so awesome I'll let it slide.
That helmet. I've only waited 30 years for someone to emulate the Michigan Panthers with their logo/styling, which was one of the best helmets of all time. I could not possibly be happier with the helmet logo. Fantastic work there.
Now here is my problem.
If you're going to introduce a new logo like this one, as you've done, you should have merchandise with that logo ready upon launch . Everything out there has the current primary logo. So that aspect is disappointing. Also, we still appear to be stuck with that dreadful puffy wordmark as well, so that's a missed opportunity.
For a moment I was wondering why the Lions are sporting Stampeder jerseys.CardiacKid wrote:Might be just how my computer is showing the away jersey but is the orange looking more like red?
I appreciate the direction they went in but not sure if I really like it or not. I like the reworking of the logo on the helmet; still respectful of its previous appearance but now it connotes movements and isn't nearly so static looking.
I think it will grow on me......
