The defending Grey Cup Champion Toronto Argonauts unveiled new uniforms for the 2023 season today, drawing elements from the team's rich traditions while adding new inspiration to help kick off the next 150 years in franchise history.
Earlier this month, the team unveiled new helmets based in Cambridge Blue for the first time since 1962. Revealed in a video that highlights the franchise's origins with the Argonaut Rowing Club, the helmet features an oversized version of the Argos 'Boat logo' that returned in 2020. The logo exemplifies the team's "Pull Together" mantra as each oar works in unison propelling the boat forward. Today the team unveiled the full home and away uniforms with its traditional 'Double Blue' colour scheme made up of Cambridge and Oxford blues.
"We are looking forward to an exciting season ahead as we celebrate 150 years of Toronto Argonauts football and these new uniforms pay tribute to our history while also creating a modern identity on the field that will bring pride to the team and to each player who wears it," said Michael 'Pinball' Clemons, Toronto Argonauts General Manager. "We hope you join us as we take the field in our new uniforms, commemorating a century and a half of Argonaut football as we defend the Grey Cup championship for an 18th time."
Every element of the new uniform pays tribute to the Argonauts' nautical heritage, both with its founders, the Argonaut rowing club, and the legend behind the team's name which refers to the band of heroes in Greek mythology who sailed on board the ship Argo in the quest for the Golden Fleece. The overall colour palette for the uniform is a nod to the early 1960's with the heavy use of Cambridge Blue and white, complimented by the Oxford blue to create a fresh and modern look.
