CFL's 'one helmet' rule for 2019, and what it means. (CFL)

          In an effort to improve player safety across the league, and to cut costs for teams, the Canadian Football league has introduced a 'one helmet' rule for the upcoming (hopefully!) season. Gone will be a two helmet (or alternate helmet) system for teams that have home and away helmets, or use their 'rush' helmets as an alternate. TTS thinks this is a great idea, and below is the breakdown on how it will affect each and every team, and why it works.

Toronto Argonauts. Gone are the white alternate helmets (which didn't look very appealing to begin with), as the Argos will keep a navy blue helmet, but with a possible new or improved logo to start the season.

Calgary Stampeders. It's safe to say that any fan of the Canadian Football league won't be sad to see the Stamps' black helmets get axed. There was little point in introducing black into a team known as the 'red and white', as well as giving them that awful helmet.

B.C. Lions. Personally, I've been a big fan of the black home helmet and orange road helmet. It looks like the Lions will keep the black helmet (seen in a photo leaked from the upcoming team uniform redesigns), and incorporate white and orange stripes on it. Cool.

Ottawa RedBlacks. The black helmet in this case makes sense, with perhaps some more red to go with it (Hello!). The white helmets they had been wearing on the road didn't make much sense for a team called the 'RedBlacks'. Oh, and maybe make that 'R' on the helmet BIGGER.

Montreal Alouettes. This could go either way, as the Alouettes change their logo and helmet designs more often than most people change their socks. Hopefully, some kind of sanity will prevail, and they'll get the silver helmet back with that new logo they unveiled not too long ago. Hopefully.

Saskatchewan Roughriders. As per usual, nothing is expected the change here. The helmet will still be green, the logo will still be an 'S' with wheat, and the Rider fans will still play banjoes.

Edmonton Eskimos. The green helmet is going bye bye, replaced with a yellow helmet that will have the large 'EE' logo in green letters. Definitely an upgrade for the Esks.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats. It would be interesting to see if the Ticats lose the black helmet, and go back to the yellow helmet with black striping from days past. If they stick to what they have, the league would have three teams with a black helmet to start the season, and that's well.....boring.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers. There will be no changes to the only gold in the league, and that's a good thing. You don't mess with perfection, and Bomber Gold is just that. The iconic 'W' on the sides of the helmet is all that's needed, and the new uniforms look to stay the same as well. When you only have one gold in the CFL, you make sure you don't screw with it.
