Grabbing a new Bomber away jersey and I'm wondering who to get that's currently a safe bet or do I just go with an older name like Segall, Walby, Robert's etc.. if I go new then I'm looking at Loffler,Leggett.

I struggled trying to decide who to get on my jersey. I went back and forth on different players and then I walked into the Bomber Store and saw a Leggett jersey hanging on the wall and I just knew that was the one. Don't overthink it - trust your gut.

Due to how frequently players change teams in the CFL, I have two rules whenever I have a name stitched on the back of my jersey:

1. Player has to be retired
2. Player must've won at least one Grey Cup for the Bombers.

As a younger fan, it forces me to do some research into some of the older players that I didn't know about because I wasn't around when they played. Suggestions that satisfy this criteria: Kenny Ploen, Greg Battle, Leo Lewis etc.

Doing so means I'll never be stuck  in the awkward position of having the jersey of a player that went south (Chris Matthews) or signed elsewhere (Odell Willis). It also gives me a chance to learn more about the Bombers.

Just my two cents.

I like your criteria for having a name that ensures relevance for a very long time. A player that has been inducted into the Hall of Fame would satisfy my requirement for a named jersey.

So, fans should burn their Dieter Brock jerseys?

If your going current player id look at harris, medlock, loffler or legget. Old names harold nash, bolden or a ton of other guys. If you dont have atleast 1 stegall, or blink thats the way to go imop.

33 Harris would be a safe bet. 

or if you want a very safe name on your jersey and it don't need to be a current Bomber player... I'll go with Canada. ;)

Again, as I've mentioned many times before, there is an actual human being who not only purchased, but continues to wear, a Ladarus Vann jersey to Bombers games in Calgary. I see him nearly every year.......

I once encouraged someone to get one of either Poblah or Muamba on their jersey... stars in the making I told them.

You're an awful awful man
