As expected, following their first championship in 41 years, the Gold Stars are adding a 4th star to the team’s helmet. The new formation sees the stars placed in a square shape on the front of the helmet, deviating from the 3 in a row the team has employed since joining the NAAF. The other minor change also sees a 4th star added to the wordmark.
Regina Wheat Kings
Last offseason, Scott Hoffman was appointed to President of Football Operations in Regina. Part of his work encompasses the marketing of the team and he has set out to make a change for the 1973 season. While the tradition of the Gold Jersey dates back many years to having to contrast with the Edmonton Rangers, there is no longer a need to maintain the tradition with both teams having white jerseys now. On top of that, there are some issues at times with the Yellow jerseys going up against white jerseys on TV, especially on muddy games. The two contributing factors has led the team to change their gold jersey to green starting this season. The jersey is almost a pure colour swap, with the green and gold swapping, however, white numbers and lettering are set in white.
NOTE: Both uniforms are without the anniversary patch, but this is an example of what it will look like on the defending champs.
