SOB!! Micah Johnson is a such a good player. Our interior linemen can't seems to get a lot of break.

Well that's better than most, so I have a little bit of hope our jerseys won't be horrible.

Ya those are actually pretty good considering what the teams have put out. I am happy there is a horse on it.

That's pretty slick. I don't think anyone has done stripes like that before -- like how they actually flow into the black. Also like the QuidQuid Requirtur on the back.

Hope the horse has a black outline -- the plain white looks a little... plain.

EDIT: Apparently the horse is CHROME not white:

Quote:
The full unveiling of the Stampeders’ Signature Look uniform takes place at the Labour Day Classic against the Edmonton Eskimos on Sept. 1 but today’s practice at McMahon Stadium will give everyone an advance look at part of the ensemble.

Stamps players are wearing the sleek new helmets at practice today as they gradually break in the protective headgear ahead of their first official in-game use.

The new helmets combine components of both Stampeders tradition and innovation. The classic running horse remains the centerpiece of the helmet, but with a bold twist as the iconic logo is rendered in reflective chrome instead of white.

The helmet features a gradient from traditional red in the back to a matte black finish on the front.

Other features of the new helmet include radiating lines, the Latin slogan “quid quid requiritur” — Whatever It Takes — on the rear bumper and “Calgary” on the nose bumper.

Equipment manager George Hopkins, who has been with the club for more than four decades, was the primary driving force behind the helmet design.

Ugh that is so corny but I am really happy the horse is on there.

Overall I like them more than all the helmets not including BC

Just think of the abortion we could have had after seeing the Riders helmets.

They look way better than the Jaguars. They should wear those instead of their black helmets

Any news with what the Stampeders plan to do with Charles? (with the soon to be returns of Cornish and Walters)

Im assuming they will be able to keep him around with the injury to Mallet.
