In reply to Nicholas Hodell. How absolutely lame. I used to love the colors in the Super Bowl and Grey Cup logos. Now they are both incredibly BORING!! Such a disappointment. I collected Super Bowl jackets and Grey Cup jerseys with the logos but now I'm done. I mean, just look at the color contrast of the Super Bowl and Grey Cup logos from the 2000's and now. Why both the NFL and CFL had to standardize (and monotonize) these logos is beyond me. What a shame!!

This is a logo crime!! What happened to creative logos for the biggest events on the planet??
I can’t believe that Canada would follow with an American logo crime.

… by colours I don’t mean varying shades of grey.

Why not at least make the roundel different colours to show that it’s a new Grey Cup venue?

After every city has had one of these standardized logos, what next? I hope a new direction but my guess is this “standard won’t last even the nine years it would have to.

Why? Because they will all look the same and there will be a feeling of “same old, same old” every time a new logo is introduced for the following Grey Cup.

I will agree that the designs in the past haven’t always been that great but a Grey Cup and a doodle in the background to me is just not that exciting.

I do not care how the Grey Cup logos look like , as long as if I don’t have to witness the Hamilton Ti-Cats play the way they did in Regina this past year. I waited 14-years to watch that debacle?

Actually like the new ones over the old ones…..The old ones had way too much going on at once.

This world is getting more boring and monotonous by the second…

There is a certain minimalism in these last two Grey Cup logos that is appealing to me, but a template for a finals logo is very uninspired. However, I prefer this to the recent Super Bowl logos and certainly to the previous Grey Cup logos which screamed wannabe Super Bowl to me.

Basic, bland and boring doesn’t cut it, CFL. Standarding the logo for an annual event is a stupid idea from lazy designers (*cough* nike!)

I actually liked 2004-2011 and thought they were fun, but I understood the reason for a “polish” for 2012 for sophistication. That being said, I find the new ones “nice”, but also a bit boring, even if it’s “matured”. Still love the CFL though!

Atleast the background changes.. Being from BC, can’t complain about the mountains and BC Place in there

I think the new ones are a huge improvement on the pre-2012 logos. They were all way too busy and overly complex. I agree using the same logo over and over again is no fun though.

I’m guessing “bland” and “boring” is a new fad…

I will never understand why sports leagues are using all silver when designing logos like these. The Super Bowl, Stanley and Grey Cups are in Silver/Gray and the NBA is gold. I am glad that the three times my Sox have won the World Series the logos have dad nice design and color. I hope this never changes.

The 2014 logo really exposes how empty the Saskatchewan graphic is. I mean.. its appropriate and all.. but jeez..

Well, okay. I never realized the Grey Cup had actual logos to begin with… & I’m Canadian.
