I think that's where the royal blue made a resurgence with the Bombers. If I remember correctly, the Argos and Ti-cats retro throwbacks also gained traction and influenced their recent redesign. The experiment ended after they did the "signature" jerseys, which were very hit and miss.
And the Riders have also employed a 3rd retro look for at least a decade now (including at Grey Cups). |
I forgot about the Rider's third jerseys. They've been so common that I don't even know if Id consider them retro anymore. The Riders have had several other distinct uniforms in their past that I'd like to see them try out.
