Thunder sticks are also pretty lame. 

I'm louder on my own and there's nothing in front of me impacting my vision.

I was actually looking forward to the rally towel as a cool commemorative token. I still have a Swag Rag from 2011 hanging up in my memorabilia area of the house. 

[Bigblue204]

yeah I agree, I'm going to be louder without a thunder stick, especially with my garbage mitts on. And the rally towels will make it easier to wipe away any snow on my seat....but otherwise...it's a big ol MEH on the rally towels

I'm partial to commemorative tickets or programs myself. I love my golden ticket from the 2011 game

Thundersticks suck.

Give me the towel

This is a cowbell game!

I think the sticks make more noise for those who aren't loud af. 

Horns or good bells would be cool too. The bells from the 19 bjb weren't great. 

The towels are cool as a take home though. No matter what it'll still be louder than the old barn despite the people back then with home made noise makers. Paint cans filled with nails. My kid will never believe me about the stuff that went down in the house that Jack built.

If only they'd give out cowbells. I have a tiny team-branded cowbell... just beat to hell at this point, but it makes all the noise I need and I can still hold my beer (or leave my gloves on as the situation dictates)

But they'll never give them out when they sell for over $20 a piece... how many procedure calls could $600,000ish buy I wonder

My spies at Ticketmaster say just under 4,100 seats left.

Go to Princess Auto. Not sure if they still have, but I bought a real cowbell from there for like $15 a few years ago, loud AF. Little old lady in front of me tried to grab it away from me first game of the year, and i haven't seen her since.

[Noeller]

we've got a buddy who sits in the endzone and has a plastic horn that is loud as all ****. I swear we can hear him on the TV broadcasts.... he takes a weird amount of pride in every TCV...

That’s where we got ours. I’ve peeled more paint off the railing by my seat by banging that thing than I care to mention.

I don't need the noise maker. We will be standing and yelling in our section all game. We have a great group around us.

I know you all love them but I hate the cowbells TBH

I can't yell, it kills my voice. I would be done by the end of the first quarter. The bells are much louder. I hate the vuvuzelas.

Fair enough. Vuvuzelas are beyond terrible. 

[MOBomberFan]

Yes it's the vuvuzelas that get to me. I've seen a bugle up in the east nosebleeds, that's my kind of horn

[TrueBlue4ever]

Was it Jack Skelly up in the upper deck at old Canadinns who would get the “Gimme a B” chant going? The set of pipes on that guy.

I agree,hate those horns with a passion. We were at the BC game and a guy was belting it out on one of those horns,guy behind him was getting spit thrown at him when the guy with the horn would swing it around.

I don't mind them... however, I don't have someone blowing one right behind me... I could see that being annoying...

The Bomber Store is only listing the mini "cheering" bells: https://www.thebomberstore.com/mini-bell.html  (bell for ants)
I wonder if they have the bigger ones in store? 

Sportchek has this guy: https://www.sportchek.ca/categories/kids/sports-activities/hockey/hockey-accessories/product/cheering-stuff-cow-bell-blue-330725993.html#
There's a red one too but who likes red? 

Amazon has these: https://www.amazon.ca/Cowbell-Cheering-Percussion-Musical-Instruments/dp/B09GFM3CMH/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=cheering+bells&qid=1637095526&sr=8-5
Amazon has others, as well, but the timing is dodgy for delivery. 

Princess Auto has some cowbells: https://www.princessauto.com/en/searchresults?Nr=product.active%3A1&Ntt=cheering bell*&Nty=1&No=0&Nrpp=50&Rdm=434&searchType=simple&type=search
Not the easiest to hold.

They usually have cowbells at all the merchandise stands around the stadium during the game. I got the big bull bell that the team sells its very efficient at making noise lol. I do believe I want to say in the last 10 years they did give those mini cowbells away one game.

Yes, that's true. I was just surprised that they didn't have any listed on the Bomber Store website. Earlier this year, they had the bigger ones on a one-game deal. 

 

I have my ten-year bell already but my son has been using the little one for many years. I was going to upgrade him to a big bell.

The old stadium got even louder before they switched the lower stands from metal benches to seats.

For noise makers I too get my cowbells from Princess Auto. I also have a football horn that works great.

Something that has been missing of late though at Bomber games is a good chant.

I need you all to join in when I start my rum-aided HERE WE GO BOMBERS, HERE WE GO chant.
