2014 Stampeders Regular Season Thread

[Cheese]

yikes 3rd string RBs...need to really up the ante on the pass attack and maybe get Bo to do more scrambling.

[tvp2003]

The Labour Day jersey should be black... we invented the concept for pete's sake.

I've always been a fan of the crossed pistols "Quidquid Requiritur" logo... don't think I'd like it blown up like the Argos logo -- perhaps just on the sleeve as a throwback to the original, maybe with black numbers/letters and red/trim?

Curious to see if there is a new helmet as well -- perhaps black with a red facemask?

They also brought in a new back this week from the indoor league. They could activate him I guess.

[Fire]

Ha Ha Indoor Football League... never even heard of this league. I assume it's a step below the Arena Football league. The running back situation is getting quite comical. Hopefully in a month the Stamps will have plenty of running back options.

I think Arena League is the indoor league...same thang.

Arena football came first and is so unique that the creator, Jim Foster, holds the patent on the game. The field is half the size of the NFL field and uses rebound nets that actually keep the ball in active play. Because of this, most of the plays in arena football are passing plays with only a handful of running plays. Arena football is recognized enough as a professional league that it actually gets air time for their games. By 2000 the Arena Football League, also known as the AFL, had become so popular that it started its own minor league called arenafootball2 or af2 for short. Arena football plays in the spring and summer as to not interfere with the NFL season.

Indoor football has not been as steadfast as arena football. Several indoor leagues have started and failed over the years with most not lasting more than a few years. The Indoor Football League, known as the IFL, is currently growing and gaining momentum in popularity. Field size is the same as arena football however no nets are used to keep the ball in play. This play in tight quarters makes for a more balanced play book with running and passing plays. The passing plays have no room for error and requires teams to be really on their game to not end up throwing an interception every throw. Another positive to not having nets required to play allows for IFL teams to play in smaller facilities than the AFL because IFL has no height requirement. The IFL season is 14 games long with playoffs of two or more rounds in addition to the regular games.

And they should be called the BlackReds.

[Flickered Flame]

Just looked at the depth chart for this week's game, Sanders is also out. Cunningham back in.

He's penciled into the 46 man lineup but it sounds like Lewis and Bolden will be game day scratches. Would be nice to see him hit the field though..

The stitching makes it looks like a drop shadow as opposed to an outline, like what they used on the second generation of the black jerseys (spoiler due to size):

Spoiler!

Here is a sneak preview at the helmet.

[Cheese]

seems to be a deeper red than the normal Stamp colors...but that could be shadowing in the box.

[CaptainCrunch]

Holy crap, guess I need to A buy a new jersey and B buy that helmet.

I hope that the jersey's aren't a disappointment like the Rider's hideous ripoff of the Oregon Ducks, or the Argo's rip off of Houston.

[old-fart]

Those Rider jerseys are junk. We get it, your province has nothing except wheat. Did you really need to put a little stalk of wheat all over... everything? Helmet looks like a watermelon that has gone bad, jerseys are just fugly, numbering is horrible, grey pants are puke. Looks like a colorblind 5 year old left alone with a wheat stencil and a bag of sugar designed these.

I didn't hate the TO ones really, but 'baby blue' and 'football' don't seem to really go together. They were just 'meh' to me.

I did like the clean plain line of the BC "all black" unis. Simple, clean, and somewhat nasty looking (not 'nasty' like the Rider ones that make you want to vomit, 'nasty' like 'those dudes look like they mean business').
