Can you shed some light on the Stampeders recent obsession with black? Is this is due to influence from the Flames, or is it unrelated? It was nice when it was the novelty Labour Day jerseys many years ago, but now the black is overwhelming. And those black helmets.

The uniforms used to be a nice, classic, red and white. Now they look like they're a high school team. (Insert someone's obligatory joke about the CFL).

I'm not completely against black when used correctly, but it seems that the Flames involvement with the Stamps has coincided with more and more black, at the expense of the red. Just so generic and 1990s looking.
