{allcanada} CFL CLUBS TO SPORT NEW RE-ENGINEERED UNIFORMS

CFL teams will be sporting a different look this season as part of the league's 100th anniversary celebration.

This week, the league's eight teams will unveil new re-engineered 2012 jerseys created by Reebok. The four East Division squads will don their new uniforms Tuesday with the four Western clubs doing so Wednesday.

The CFL will cap its 100th anniversary season with the Grey Cup game Nov. 25 at Rogers Centre.

The launch caps two years of development by Reebok and the CFL on the new jerseys, which will provide a tighter fit with increased elasticity while also boasting new moisture wicking technology incorporated to the fabric.

The new uniforms will also be available for sale on the league's website as well as those of its eight teams. Select stores across Canada will also offer the jerseys. The suggested retail price will be $109.99.

Earlier this season, the NFL also introduced new re-designed jerseys from Nike for all 32 of its teams.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats were the first CFL team to unveil their new jersey, doing so Tuesday morning. The home uniform will be the traditional black with gold trim and a Tiger-Cat on the sleeves with four stripes on each arm.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes will release their respective jerseys later Tuesday, with the Toronto Argonauts scheduled to unveil theirs at an evening launch.
