Who's idea was it to go to the navy blue colour in the first place?

I seem to recall that the "lightning logo" was the winning entry of a fan competition.

Yeah talk about cheap. Why pay for a new logo when we can get something for free.

I think #3 is the right answer. As I recall this was Cal Murphy's idea going into his final season as GM with the Bombers

Well it was not his choice to be his final season. Firing a guy who got us 3 cups in 6 appearance and never out of the playoffs in 13 years. Smart move.

Cal's time had come to an end. He had a heart transplant, was in his late 60's. I think he was slowing down a lot. The problem was, when he left the Bombers did what they have become famous for... hired a rookie HC with no experience facing a massive rebuild. Epic Fail..

I remember thinking at the time we really needed some fresh new ideas. Someone younger. At the time, I loved the Reinebold hire. It seemed like exactly what we needed. Yikes....

Reinebold knew his football.  That wasn't debatable. He wasn't ready (and still isn't quite frankly) for a HC gig plus other responsibilities.

We got good real fast under Dave Ritchie then Lyle Bauer fired him. Like really, Lyle? How stupid were you??

Sometimes it's who you replace someone with that is your downfall.  The club under Ritchie was steadily regressing and was replaced with Daly.

I was leaning towards the favorite candidate, our offensive co-coordinator at the time.  His name was Mike Kelly. Who knew?

If it ain't broke....don't re-brand it.

It has never ceased to amaze me, how bloody long it took to:

a.  Identify the error

b.  Correct said error

 

Just 21 years, a whole fricken lost generation ... :angry:
