I would buy another classic Royal Blue jersey as I could have so many players I liked as a fan to choose from. I already have a #5 Dieter Brock jersey & a #2 Tom Clements jersey jersey from circa 1985 that doesn't fit me anymore. I can choose players like #38 Willard Reaves, #54 or #56 Phil Minnick (he wore both), #7 Don Jonas, #30 Brian Herosian, #52 Harry Walters, #11 Ken Ploen, #27 Dave Raimey, #24 Dave Ulmer, #71 Joe Poplawski, #70 Mike Holmes or #70 Jeff Boyd, #16 Matt Dunigan, #21 James Murphy, #29 Leo Lewis & the list goes on. There isn't one player wearing the current jerseys of today I'd want. Not because they aren't of my generation or were my heroes growing up but because the Bombers haven't won anything wearing these jerseys. As a result I have no interest in ever buying one. I'm tired of seeing the Royal Blues just once or twice a year as I want them to be our full time home unis. Tired enough that I won't buy another classic Royal Blues anymore just because the Bombers don't go back to the classic jerseys. If the new jerseys aren't the classic Royal Blues & we keep losing I won't buy the new ones rolled out this coming season either. I'll continue to go to as many games a year as I can living in Calgary but I won't spend a penny on merchandise especially jerseys. I'll just continue to wear my Brock jersey to games. I spend enough as it is buying tickets, driving to Winnipeg or flying & getting to a home game. I want the Bombers to give me a reason to get excited about the team again. Only the classic jerseys full time will do it for me. Excited enough to shell out the money to buy a jersey when I'm in town.

Several wrestling websites reporting yes.

Bourque.... Bourke. It all sounds the same to me.

If we have a scintillating DL we can do many things. If we can pressure with just our front 4 imagine how much better we'll be? If we have a chance to sign Laing Walters needs to go for it.

My son plays football at SFU at the qb position & yeah the rules compared to CIS are ridiculous. He finished his senior year in 2015. CIS qbs can take part in CFL training camps yet if my son did that he'd be considered a professional & suspended by the NCAA. He'd have loved to spend an entire training camp learning & getting better like other CIS qbs are doing but the rules prevented that. Even eating lunch with a CFL team is considered payment & he'd be considered a professional. Yet the NCAA makes hundreds of millions off the back of college players. It's too bad.

Johnny Gaudreau stayed in college until he graduated keeping a promise he made to his Mom. It isn't bad advice.

Laing plays on the edge but he would be great player on our DL. I hope that Walters has enough money to sign him if his NFL options are finished. That would be one FA I'd love to see here.

But the tweet isn't necessarily wrong.

I'd think Connor himself would want to stay in college & get his degree. If I was his father that's what I'd want him to do. All it takes is 1 injury & his career's over. Or hockey career doesn't pan out so education should come first.

If we can develop 3 Nationals to play well on the OL then we need Danny McManus to find us 2 Internationals who can play well. If there's one thing we've seen with the Bombers it's just how long it takes to build an OL with 5 or even 4 Nationals thru the Draft & free agency. That's why Scouting has to find players down south to compliment the work Walters does. It would be nice to have 5 Nationals all starting on our OL but that will still take years.

Why do you think it'll take a puke uniform to change things? The Royal Blues as we know it were around from 65-95. Maybe earlier. I remember the team from the 62 Grey Cup where the W on the helmet made it's appearance. Thirty years of tradition. How do you think Packer fans would react if the teams changed colours or uniforms??

Nah, don't want him either as we know he'll want marquis money for just a single year of play. This is kinda funny actually. Almost like Karma considering his arrogant CFL tour in September. I'm sure he'll either be a Rider or an Eskimo.

Well, we haven't won a single GC since the Royal Blues were retired in 1995. I'd say time to go back full time.

Well, until the Bombers actually started winning maybe it was presumptuous to think they actually would last season. Year 3. Let's hope they do.

Ha, ha. Let's see what Adidas comes up with. And it's more of a response to LeBird talking about ugly uniforms mean nothing. Those gold away jerseys, hmmm.

Depends who the second pick is & how much of an impact he'll make with his team. No one knows how well Waggoner will do or if he ever starts. On the flip side no guarantee the second pick will ever start either for his team. We'll have a better idea a year from now. My feeling is Walters never makes that supplemental draft pick if he knew the Bombers would have had the second pick in this year's draft.

Sorry dude there's more to it than just winning. It's about fans having pride in their team as well as team history. Just because you're okay with puke uniforms doesn't mean others are.

Building an All Canadian OL thru the draft, trades or free agency just takes too long. We need our scouting dept to find a couple of good players to start on the line to make us better. McManus has to do a better job of finding these players.

Jacquie, come on...

He's the last guy who should talk about overspending. He's been part of the problem. Especially Hank's contract.

How many games do we get out of Neufeld? Maybe 6,7?

Okay Mike, so you obviously don't like Bourque but I don't think he's as bad as you claim he is. We already have a pretty good LT in Stanley Bryant so I couldn't see us ever signing Bourque. Bryant is younger than Bourque (33) & still should have a few good years left in him. This may be the last contract Bourque signs. Thing of it is, he was never going to sign out West with any team. He wanted to stay in the East. Bombers had practically a zero chance to sign him so it all really doesn't matter.

Pav was just okay? He was more than okay as he won the game for us. you seem to forget that we're only slightly better than the worst team in the league ourselves. At least we shut out the Connor McDavid Love In show on HNIC.

As I said he lost the trust of the coaching staff & they weren't about to give Hajrullahu a second chance.

I think the uniform does matter.
