Vancouver – Following weeks of speculation by fans spurred on by teaser videos and rave reviews from opposition players at a recent TSN shoot, the BC Lions launched their new adidas jerseys on television stations across the city in dramatic fashion this morning.

Staying with their bold and traditional orange home jersey, the club has added distinctive black shoulder panels and changed to single-colored numbers (black) along with a move to black pants with orange accenting in 2016.

The new home ensemble also gets a refreshed look up-top as the Leos will wear a glossy black helmet featuring a futuristic-looking, smoked-chrome face mask.

We are the CFLs only orange team,” said team president and CEO, Dennis Skulsky. “Orange is what we are and orange is what we will be wearing in this new chapter of our proud history.”

Saving more radical changes for its helmets, the club has removed their primary “BC” mark and replaced it with an updated, five-stripped lion’s head design.

The five stripes along withLionshead represents six historic decades of professional football in BC as well as our six Grey Cup wins,” said the club’s senior leader of creative services, Rich Koh, who designed the jersey and helmet logo. “Stripes are easy to add and I anticipate well be adding many more in years to come.”

Removing the ‘BC’ mark also enables the ‘Lion’ to face forward on both sides of the helmet which was critical to the overall theme of the new look. The club’s primary mark moves to a crest located below the rear numbers on both home and road versions of the jersey.

The jersey numbers too will also reflect the six-decade and championship theme with subtle striping located at the base.

Everything about this design is built on the concept of looking forward,” added Koh. “Its a darker, intimidating look at home and whether its the jersey, the pants or the helmet, the look is about power, speed and moving boldly into the future.”

Updates were also made to the club’s road look which features white jerseys with orange shoulder panels along with similar single-coloured numbers (orange), highlighted by orange pants and orange helmets with white decaling complete with pearl-white face masks.

When were away from home its all about taking care of business on the road,” notes Koh. “The road jersey is about clean, sleek lines that pop in the sun or under the lights and a design that is distinct and modern.”

The club will debut its road jerseys during the preseason before donning their home threads for the first time in 2016 on June 25th against the Calgary Stampeders.
