Yeah...it's a shame. As much as us Westerners get sick of Toronto being the centre of the universe, I think it's essential that the most populous city in the country has a successful CFL team.
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 obvious modern comparison for "zany alternate reality" is "The Wedding of River Song".
I'm a little ambivalent so far - the idea can hit or miss depending on whether they can get me invested in what's going on. The cast certainly has the chops for it, and RTD is capable of it, though his track record with sticking the landing need not be discussed here.
Have I got good news for you...
the Argos are so neglected in the city
I've heard so much about this over the years - since a lot of it has been attributed to the Buffalo Bills being very accessible, I wonder if there will be a spike in interest in the homegrown game given certain global events this year.
Reminder: of the preseason games, only Toronto/Hamilton on May 24 and Montreal/Ottawa on May 30 are airing on TSN, and Ottawa/Montreal on May 24 will be on RDS - the rest of them will be on CFL+ (yay, another streaming service...but at least it's free).
I'll probably just catch the highlights in the preseason, but I hope the league's attendance is healthy this year.
I'll stop in on as many Bomber-related threads as I can. Who doesn't love a little heartbreak?
I think a couple of the examples used here are a stretch, but this was a really entertaining watch overall - I love a good think piece.
I'd like to see more information on what has or has not been done. Improving road access would be a long-term project.
But there's no excuse for not starting.
For my money, it doesn't get any more epic than the Abzorbaloff.
Chaos and cloister bells? Just another Saturday...
I bet it's the Ran--
Dammit.
Oh for sure, I suppose there's a reason I said absolutely nothing about the story itself. It gets by on vibes, but they're fun vibes
LOL, fair question. I guess I think it it adds legitimacy to the league as a truly national concern.
Yep - I think there needs to be a team in Halifax or wherever, for exactly the same reason.
