No bibs, no piping, no pointless contrasting panels all over the place. Starting in 2004, Reebok got the contract to design and make all the uniforms. Presto - instead of traditional uniforms, we get weird, pointless piping, odd little patches of colour, really weird stuff. http://www.strategymag.com/articles/magazine/20040517/cfl.html From the article - "the league is hooking up with Reebok to help it connect with the 18-to-24 demo through a full line of CFL lifestyle apparel" Not much different than a lot of NHL teams with the Reebok redesign - weird stripes, really strange stuff. The only exception is Montreal - they had that weird patchwork of red, blue, silver, white before Reebok came along and IIRC are the only team that didn't change their design in 2005.
