February 11, 20223 yr comment_555783 2 hours ago, Noeller said: I like the idea of having a jersey of a player representing different generations of Bombers. I have Pop, Walby, Dunigan, Khari, Milt, DB, Stoddard, Armstrong, Roberts... But it kinda ends with that generation. I really should have got a Nichols at some point (I'm sure I'll find one on eBay eventually) and now I need one of the current Gen... I was leaning toward Harris, but maybe Demski. The wife got Bighill, so he's covered. Still pondering... We shall see. And ya, it's a huge jersey fail doing any jersey that's not a standard name and number of a current or former player. Blanks are bad, your own name is bad, anything but a former or current player name and number is bad. Gosh, so many rules in the “how to be a fan” handbook, it’s hard to keep track of them all. What about former players in a current form of the jersey that they never actually wore?

I did this with my Odell Willis jersey, got it for Christmas the year they went to the cup (2011) he then got a DUI and signed elsewhere the immesiate next season. Had it restitched to a player that'd never get traded - Kenny Ploen.

February 11, 20223 yr comment_555804 11 minutes ago, sweep the leg said: Retro jerseys. It just seems limiting. But no gatekeeping here - you do you. As a similar - but very different - arbitrary rule, I never buy jerseys of people I never saw play or who isn't currently playing. I want the jersey I wear to represent the present. So I can see my fandom as I watched. My last jersey was Harris, who is a few months younger than me, so I guess my current jerseys would have ended with my Cory Watson jersey.

February 11, 20223 yr comment_555830 There are no rules for jersey's for me. Be a fan what ever way you want to. Even if you wear another teams jersey I'm OK with it. I wore Bomber jerseys in pretty much every stadium in the league at one time.
February 11, 20223 yr comment_555834 No Love for Jake Thomas? Seriously considering him as my next Jersey.

February 11, 20223 yr comment_555847 Think I am going to do Home Bailey jersey and Road BA jersey got a stock pile of Bomber gift cards that I have saved up for jersey purchases.

February 11, 20223 yr comment_555890 22 hours ago, Noeller said: Yeah, I've definitely been re-thinking who my next jersey will be..... Uptown sports in Portage place mall is family owned by my cousin's, if you're looking for a jersey or anyone else here it would definitely help out a smaller sports store. Just call for prices! They've also got autographed pictures,cards,other sports (obviously) give em a call. Edited February 11, 20223 yr by Nolby

Great people, extremely helpful, and their jersey customization is cheaper than other places and all quality pro-stitch accurate to the era. Love that store!
February 11, 20223 yr Author comment_555908 Definitely love supporting local but when it comes to Bombers stuff I try to only buy directly from the team. This league and this team needs the money.

They're both from Saskatchewan,love their team and travel home for many home games,fun talking football with them. I get no money or deals by promoting,just trying to help em out,can say Nolan suggested the store if you want.
February 11, 20223 yr comment_555912 I buy all my Bomber stuff from the store since then the profit goes back into the club.

Most of my purchases from Uptown are Team Canada hockey jerseys and other stuff (glassware, mini helmets) not sold in the Bomber Store. I agree money back to the club is important, but these guys deserve a shout out too.

February 11, 20223 yr comment_555922 Since we are on the topic of jerseys and errata, does anyone have inside info on when the new Grey Cup rings are being unveiled. And is it time we got an individual banner for each championship instead of lumping all the wins under one banner? Just a small pet peeve. Edited February 11, 20223 yr by TrueBlue4ever
