Doublezero Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred C Dobbs Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 guess Waggoner could be #11, which appears to be open. Not a chance. When was the last time you saw someone wear #11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

johnzo Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Josh Portis had #6 all last year, and I think he wore it when he was gameday rostered. holoman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublezero Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Geez, how could I forget about Ken Ploen? But has that number been retired forever? Who else wore #1 besides Blink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 They don't officially retire any numbers, I don't think, but a bunch have been unofficially retired...97, 85, 06, 11, 63....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basslicker Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doublezero Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Now that I think of it, Kito Poblah had #1 after Charles Roberts. BBlink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 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.
