Has anyone noticed that we have no Grey Cup victories since we added white stripes to our helmets and started wearing blue pants. Please go back to the single blue helmet strip and gold pants at all times.

Were the pants gold in 2019?

I can't say I noticed the helmet change.

Don't forget the choosing-the-away-jersey thing we have done since '19 I think.

I'm not against trying new (or returning to) color schemes.

To me, if we're talking superstitions, I think it's the torn hat.  I think it wasn't worn for the last GC, but I'll have to check my notes.  Gotta wear that torn hat.

I also firmly and strongly believe we need to touch the WDF trophy.  CGY used to all the time and they won cups.  Celebrate that trophy!!

Blue pants suck. Go to gold pants and blue stripe on helmet.

I'll take "What's a Coincidence?" for $400, Alex.

That said, I dislike the blue on blue. The blue and gold combo is so much more better.

Did you know:

Since 2015, in addition to wearing distinctly different colour jerseys, opposing CFL teams are required to wear different colour pants as well (does not apply in pre-season). Winnipeg (gold) and Edmonton (yellow) are different colours.

In 2023 and again in 2024, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats used 6 different sets of pants  :o

I personally think the mix & match we have seen in the CFL is getting out of hand. I miss the days of a home uniform and an away uniform.

Having different sets of pants means that the Olinemen won't be as stinky ;)
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

- I like the white stripe on the helmet
- I like the blue pants but we're using them too much. A nice changeup but it's bastardizing the word "uniform" if we are constantly changing it up for no real reason
- I think the whites-as-default-in-playoffs is dead and should we be so fortunate, wear our royals at home if we are in the GC (and home playoff game should we be so fortunate to host one)
- none of any of these things has anything to do with winning or losing

Right!  That's entirely controlled by the torn hat.
