The latest addition to the CFL’s 2014 Signature Uniform jerseys has arrived as the Calgary Stampeders have unveiled ‘The Outlaw’ which will make its debut at the Labour Day Classic.

The uniforms are black with red trim and white numbering with crossed pistols on both shoulders.

Stampeders fan Jonathon (last name withheld) made a trip to the McMahon Stadium on Friday morning to get his hands on a replica Bo Levi Mitchell jersey. The shopping detour slightly delayed his arrival to work but Jonathon says he’s glad to own the new Stamps jersey which is much nicer than the third jerseys of the other CFL teams.

“I think they (the other franchises) put a little too much colour and ours looks a lot more original,” said Jonathon. “We needed another black jersey.”

Jonathan was not alone in his wait for The Outlaw as dozens of Stampeders fans lined up outside of the Stamps Store at McMahon Stadium.

Monday’s Battle of Alberta between the Stamps (7-1) and Eskimos (7-1) will break the current tie for the top spot in the CFL’s Western Division.

McMahon Stadium will host the Labour Day Classic on Monday, September 1, with kickoff scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Tickets are available through the Calgary Stampeders website.

The game will be televised on TSN.
