I know some fans will whine about the black but I like it. The Flames should hire the people involved in making these black uniform versions.

Everything.
Go woke, go broke. And the ‘Elks’ are prime example no. 1
I’ve got a cousin who is a die hard Eskimo fan, and says what cfl team that Edmonton has? They’ve lost lots of fans due to their own stupidity of bowing to a narcissist woke leader that belittled them for their name even though no native group cared, nor were offended by it whatsoever either.

Some questionable design choices including that thick white collar. Can't see myself shelling out money for this one.

Black = Stampeders + Labour Day. Started in 1994 and still going on strong.
It needed a refresh after the pistols were removed; I'm personally not a huge fan of the shoulder stripes but I'll take it -- the uniform as a whole looks pretty sharp.
I also like how they went with red numbers trimmed in white, reminds me of the original 3rd jerseys:

I'd like to see the white pants return, they look sharp with either the red or black jersey.

Love when the bigots come out and make wild claims. Even a nice "native group" for good measure. I'm sure the Elks awful roster and coaching wouldn't have mattered the past 3 years had they still been called Eskimos. The fans would come in droves because of their name. I'm sure the Cleveland Guardians and Washington Commanders will have empty stadiums and fold now too.

I'm curious to see what happens with Streveler. He was cut by the Jets today. My understanding is he is 6 games away from earning a NFL pension.

Not true. Not all, but some cared and were offended.

The term Eskimo is regarded by many as a derogative term because it is used to describe a very large group of people with different traits and languages. Furthermore, if translated into Alonquin language (spoken by indigenous people in Ontario and Quebec, Canada), ‘Eskimo’ means: ‘eaters of raw meat’. Obviously, eating raw meat is not the one thing that defines the Inuit people of Canada, or ‘Inuk’ if referring to a single person of Inuit descent. There is a very long history behind the origins of the Inuit people, one that has evolved into a rich cultural heritage, which it still has to this day.

Eskimos” has been associated with football teams in Edmonton dating back to the late 1800s, but it is considered unacceptable by some, as a term imposed by colonists.

Such a NY Jets thing to do. Yeah he’s not going to be your week one starter, but you basically just told your coach and all the players that cheered his latest win that it doesn’t matter if you play well unless there is a spot open for you.

I think I read somewhere that Streveler is 10 games away from collecting his NFL pension so you have to think he's going to continue to chase that NFL dream for as long as he can.

If the Jets don't want you as their 4th QB who else is going to claim him?

Streveler is the most overrated QB I've ever seen in the CFL. Yawn.

He looks way better now. I'll take him over Bo and Jake.

Serious question, curious, do you see a difference between Eskimos and , the Indians, Redskins? Or are they all equally indefensible in your eyes? If so, how about the Braves, or Seminoles?

All those teams should change their names. and if the braves or the chiefs fans start doing that stupid racist chant they should start taking away home games.
