I would guess that the Orange Crush jerseys in the Buono years were the highest. They also did well with the early 80's version of the uniform (DeWalt/Fernandez era).

Good topic--I don't have the time (right now) to crunch the numbers, but my guess (as well) would be the Orange of the Wally years. It was a long run of winning seasons and the continuity wasn't there for any other period except 1978-88. These are certainly top 2.

Is this a trivia question or are you looking for the answer yourself?

Like the others, I would have to guess the ones we wore from 2005-2015 with the white lids, a lighter orange Pantone jersey and white pants. The only solid black used was for the socks, the rest was just to accent the numbers, leg stripe, and on the yoke.

See image below right (taken from the Throwback Thursday thread).

Grey Cups:

Black helmets = 1 (1964)
White helmets = 2 (1985, 2011)
Silver helmets = 2 (1994, 2000)
Orange helmets = 1 (2006)

The Lions wore black home jerseys in four of their six Grey Cup winning seasons, and orange jerseys in the other two.

1964 black (wore road whites in the GC game)
1985 orange
1994 black (wore road whites in the GC game)
2000 black
2006 black
2011 orange

KnowItAll's original question was highest winning % in regular season games for each of the uniforms, not GC. I assume he's only considering primary unis for a season, not the 3rd unis like the gun metal grays. I doubt you could find full stats for all those games anyway.

I'd also like to know total winning % for each uni as well, with the total games played using each one. No need to break it down by home and aways unless you are really ambitious.

I am confident Hambone will give the first definitive answer.
