There's no way the league would approve a black-on-black uniform because it would be virtually impossible to read the names and numbers at speed (I don't know how the Lions got that one approved).
Gord Miller, who called the Stamps-Lions game where BC wore that jersey, absolutely hated them:

A day later, I'm still trying to think of a worse uniform idea than the BC Lions putting black numbers on black jerseys. White Sox shorts?

Going black-on-black would be an especially bad idea at the start of a major re-build when most of the fans aren't familiar with any of the players even when they can read the numbers.
