Note: the link is to a ranking of these uniforms, which is objectively incorrect but at least there are pictures.
Back in 2014, the CFL unveiled alternate “Signature” uniforms for each team. They ranged from “WTF” to “spectacular,” and I think I’d rather leave it to the group to decide which are which.
The Redblacks were originally supposed to have plaid helmets to go with these uniforms, but from what I remember there was some kind of production issue or something, and they were never produced.
The Redblacks’ unis might be the nicest of those Signature ones imo (but they’re ranked last - to your point about the rankings 🙃). I like the new designs the Riders released last year, although it was a pretty minor rebranding. I think the Lions’ black unis are sweet
Yeah, the Ottawa lumberjack look was always my favourite, especially with the never-produced helmet. A real shame.
