Haha, maybe I should have included a 3rd option, D.

This fan does not like the helmet art work. The jersey -- just OK (hard to read the numbers, it seems to me). The football pants look OK.Group 6: Put down the crayons and just walk away
9 (or 1). The B.C. Lions
This re-design evoked two reactions, either people loved it or hated it. Vancouver is the land of hipster beards and pot dispensaries so it’s hardly surprising that the new Lions get up looks like the work of a fashion designer whose had one hash brownie too many. When adidas was announced as the new apparel sponsor, the fear was that every CFL uniform would like something like this.
So yeah, it could have been worse. -- Drew Edwards
Young team. Young generation? LOL Dennis out of touch? Ummm, yeah. Does not appeal to Dennis?“We decided to go from top to socks,” said Skulsky, whose team did a nice job of creating anticipation for the unveiling. “The biggest thought was to look at the future. It’s about the younger generation; a refresh. This is a new era and that’s part of us being the youngest team in the league last year. It’s going to be interesting to see the response.”
To a small extent, that would suggest that both Skulsky and owner David Braley aren’t completely warm and fuzzy about changing what for the most part has worked over the years, a point taken by the club president, who knows he doesn’t represent the target demographic.
“This (redesign) might not appeal to me, but that’s good,” Skulsky said.
“We’re not entirely there (with the changes) but we both understand that (Lions staffers) are making good points (about changing),”

They've been allowing various shades of orange licensed apparel (often for the same item!) to appear on retail shelves for far too long, so why should they have one consistent orange pantone now?
I can't think of any other sports organization in North America - college or pro - to not have one consistent shade of their dominant colour (i.e. University of Michigan = Maze, Toronto Argonauts = Oxford blue etc.). BC Lions = whatever the hell shade of orange you want.
I think they got the home uniforms right with burnt orange, but I am not sure what colour the road unis are supposed to be.
