Re-imagining the CFL: Montreal Alouettes

Ah 2020, we all have a little extra time on our hands right now. We are all trying to keep busy, and with the CFL season all but cancelled trying to fill the void where training camps should be.

Being a self professed logo snob, I decided to challenge myself and redesign the entire CFL. 9 teams, 3 uniforms (home, away, and third), 27 different uniforms in total.

I also followed the CFL guidelines and used one helmet shell per team. Which means one helmet colour, but means I can change the decals if need be. Sorry, Stamps fans there is no colour fade helmet in this project either.

The order of unveiling is how the 2019 regular season standings shook out, and we are going from the worst record to the best.

I would like to thank the fans and players that I showed my initial concepts too. As a Rider fan I wanted to make sure I was capturing the spirit of their team.

Montreal Alouettes…. HERE WE GO…

Be careful what you wish for.

I was one of the people who was begging for the Alouettes to do some sort of change for years.

The “Angry Bird” was the ok in the late 90s when they unveiled it but they needed a refresh, but they deserved something better than looking like they picked up their uniforms at a Houston Texans locker room sale.

First thing we needed to do is get rid of that weird new helmet design they have, and bring back the winged look.

Weird for the sake of weird doesn’t mean you need to do it. Also I don’t think most people realize that’s not a decal but hand painted on, lets give the equipment guy a break.

Left the home jersey their new dark royal blue, but took inspiration from previous Alouette teams.
