UUOTD


Today's UUOTD comes from north of the border, from the Great White North of Canada. Specifically, la belle province du Quebec.

The Montreal Alouettes of the CFL are wearing a hodgepodge of colors. It looks like they just threw a bunch of colors together, and threw them out there. This is an improvement from past uniforms, however, as those had the word "MONTREAL" across the front of the jersey. That is great for high school or college, but not for pro football. So, they got smart and removed that.

This thing contains one of my pet uniform peeves: shoulders that do not match the rest of the jersey. It also has wild stripes on it, and is just a really unstable look.

I don't have a problem with the sponsor logo. I wouldn't like it for the NFL or NCAA, but CFL teams need the money.

This is ugly. A city with classic hockey uniforms, like Montreal, doesn't need to give the world these football uniforms.

I like the colors of the jersey. I like the triangular stripe, but the whole look is unstable, just like the CFL. So maybe it's a perfect fit? ;)

It's Canada, where the dollar bill no longer exists, and the dollar coin is called the loonie. It is a perfect fit.
