Among those on hand to help launch the new gear were current Argos WR Arland Bruce lll and QB Kerry Joseph and former 1950’s alumni Bud Fowler, Zeke O’Connor, Arnie Stocks and Nick Volpe.  Also in attendance was CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon, Argos CEO Michael “Pinball” Clemons, Argos COO Brad Watters and former Winnipeg Blue Bomber great Kahari Jones.
