Posted May 22, 201510 yr comment_120739 Don't know if these are etched in stone but Bombers have assigned numbers to some of the rookies and some vets have different sweater numbers this year. Stoudermire has gone from #15 to #1 for example. Jamaal Westerman is #55, Jordan Yantz is #18, Sukh Chungh is #69. If Addison Richards and Garrett Waggoner are signed to contracts, guess Waggoner could be #11, which appears to be open. Wow, lot of bodies on this roster: http://www.bluebombers.com/roster/index/team/5
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120745 guess Waggoner could be #11, which appears to be open. Not a chance. When was the last time you saw someone wear #11?
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120746 Wouldn't it be neat of we had more than the minimum number of starting Canucks in games? It has happened on other teams before, but often.

Wow, lot of bodies on this roster: http://www.bluebombers.com/roster/index/team/5 I understand that they did tests and found that etching the numbers in stone took too long a time and seriously slowed players down. On the plus side, when someone wearing a number etched in stone manages to hit someone, they stay hit.

May 22, 201510 yr comment_120767 Would be interesting to know if players have worn #6 or #11 in training camp?

May 22, 201510 yr comment_120776 Would be interesting to know if players have worn #6 or #11 in training camp? Yes, pretty much every year.
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120782 Josh Portis had #6 all last year, and I think he wore it when he was gameday rostered.
May 22, 201510 yr Author comment_120787 Geez, how could I forget about Ken Ploen? But has that number been retired forever? Who else wore #1 besides Blink?
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120790 They don't officially retire any numbers, I don't think, but a bunch have been unofficially retired...97, 85, 06, 11, 63.......
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120793 As if someone suggested #11...."apparently it's open".... Eesh.How long is long enough? I guess 50 years isn't long enough.either retire it or use it I say.
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120794 They don't officially retire any numbers, I don't think, but a bunch have been unofficially retired...97, 85, 06, 11, 63....... Ivan Brown has been assigned 97 for training camp. Yeah ... another Brown.
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120795 They don't officially retire any numbers, I don't think, but a bunch have been unofficially retired...97, 85, 06, 11, 63....... I'd cry if someone took #71...

Ivan Brown has been assigned 97 for training camp. Yeah ... another Brown. well then it makes sense. Probably why Brock Ralph wore the number 5 backwards in training camp...
May 22, 201510 yr Author comment_120798 Now that I think of it, Kito Poblah had #1 after Charles Roberts.
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120799 Now that I think of it, Kito Poblah had #1 after Charles Roberts. Charles Roberts isn't even the last Roberts to wear number 1 for the Bombers. Michael Roberts wore it for a game during the season after Blink left.
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120800 Now that I think of it, Kito Poblah had #1 after Charles Roberts. And so that's what happened, #1 is forever cursed now.
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120802 After Ike Charlton wore #0 I didnt know who could possibly do justice to that number ever again
May 22, 201510 yr comment_120819 After Ike Charlton wore #0 I didnt know who could possibly do justice to that number ever again lol. Has any one worn harold nashs' 00 since he left? Loved that number, hell of a player too.
May 23, 201510 yr comment_120827 Now that I think of it, Kito Poblah had #1 after Charles Roberts. And so that's what happened, #1 is forever cursed now. Is that what happened to Kuale?
