Photos: Eskimos' "Signature Look" uniforms feature large EE logo, plus green-and-gold helmets

The final new CFL Signature Look uniform was released Tuesday, with the Edmonton Eskimos unveiling their new jerseys. The mostly green with gold accents colour scheme of their usual home look is still there, but the team's gone to a large gold double-E logo on the front with small numbers, similar to what the Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers have done with their newjerseys. Here's a look at the front:

Another cool touch comes from the gloves, which are green with gold that interlocks to form the double-E:

The helmet's interesting, too; it's mostly green, but with a much bigger logo in gold than the existing helmet, plus golden stripes:

The pants are still mostly gold, but have green panels on the side (with Eskimos written in gold down them) and a green version of the double E on the front:

Overall, these definitely aren't a bad look. They're closer to the team's normal jerseys than what we've seen from most of the signature look series, but the Eskimos are so strongly identified with the green and gold (in fact, "The Green & Gold is Bold," lyrics from the team's fight song, is stitched on the collar) that sticking with it isn't a bad choice. There are some nice variants on the typical theme here, particularly the helmet and gloves and the green accents on the pants. The big logo on the front won't necessarily sit well with everyone, as we saw with the Argos' and Blue Bombers' new jerseys, but it's not horrible either. The question is if these will prove different enough from the typical to be popular, or if staying somewhat conservative with the new look will limit its appeal.
