We can keep throwing out suggestions, but I don’t see one topping Maier McCheese. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat and concede the win to the superior player.

This may be the most brilliant nickname since Kamau Incompleterson. That one is in the Hall of Fame. 

yup...winner

According to my analysis via my graphical ChatGPT AI interface, the most statistically optimal nickname for the individual in question is "Maier McCheese." Beep, bop, boop!

Looks like the Bombers are wearing their 3rd jerseys tomorrow.

Open poll question for the masses. Rank the “alternate” jerseys from best to worst. Can rank as just the jersey, the entire uniform combo including pants, socks, and helmet, or do two separate rankings. The contenders:

The 75th Anniversary game uni (white pants):

The 75th Anniversary uni, Grey Cup version (blue pants):

 

1950’s retro:

1960’s retro:

 

2010 alternate (grey face bars):

 

2013 alternate (blue face mask):

2014 camo:

2022 alternate:

If Lyle is still around I could see him trying to sign up here to post 5 or so nicknames of his own.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the 2014 Camo jerseys will get zero votes.

I think the uniforms are best ranked in tiers:

S - anything 70s-80s looking.  Royal blue or white jersey, gold pants, gold helmet.  This is the way.

B - 50s/60s retros.  These are plain and unremarkable but at least they look like football uniforms.

C - 2022 all-blues. Not a fan of onesie-looking pajama uniforms but they get some points for getting the color right.

D - 75th anniversary gold + white pants.  Not hideous, but pretty bad.  gold is a trim color, not a primary color.

E - the pigeon-poop camos.  Plus one for fresh outside-the-box thinking. Minus several billion for pure failure.  Bury them at the crossroads so they will not haunt us again.

F - 75th anniversary gold + blue pants. those satin not-quite-navy blue pants are grotesque.  Ryan Dinwiddie is thankful for these uniforms because his dead-duck interceptions were not the ugliest thing on the field in Grey Cup 2007.

Camos are the worst and it's not close.

Agree 100%. The blue leotards were awful. Stripe up those football pants or get out of the business. 
I don’t care for our current alternates at all because of the hockey jersey, but at least the pants and socks have proper striping. 
Thing that annoys me is all the alternates in the league are copy/pastes with different (but always mono) colours, maybe a gimmicky font on a few of them. 
There are zero alternates in the CFL with contrasting jerseys and pants, it drives me insane. Bunch of PJ sets.

Tate was a headcase. I'll never forget one Stamps home game at least 10 years ago where he took a big hit & was shaken up. He came off the field for a series then went back in again before the 1st half ended.

He was coming out of the locker room walking to the bench. He was stopped by a TSN reporter Jermain Franklin for an interview. He was asked how he felt. He told the reporter he has no memory of playing in the first half & the only reason he went back in was the doctors cleared him. The next day, the CFL launched an investigation of the Stamps medical staff & HC John Hufnagel into the team's concussion protocols. Did Huff or the doctors make Tate go back in when it wasn't safe?

He put the reputation of Huff as a coach & the entire medical & training staff on the line. Then, he says. "Oh, I was just kidding! I really was alright. My memory was fine." I'm sure he heard about it from Huff & team officials. What a moron. 

Tate once told a TSN reporter that he loved being the backup QB because he gets a game cheque and doesn't have to play and then followed that up with he really prefers not having to go into the game.

The Roughriders use white pants on their retro alts -- I know I'm gonna get manure piled on me for this but I think their alts look pretty nice, probably the best you can do with green and white. 

They look like real throwbacks and I bet they would pop on a telethon broadcast.

So many back-ups think it. You're not supposed to say it, lol.

It looks like the uni's were hung up in a pigeon coop before they were splatterred with javex....Who the hell could come up with that crapo design ....looks like they dreamt it up when they were on 'something'

If I have a backup that's even thinking it I would cut him loose. I want a backup that wants to be the starter and gets a little POed when he sees the depth chart every week.

Anything that is less green is always better, but at the end of the day it is a Rider jersey and that alone makes anything they wear god awful ugly.

And that's what most will say. But I can't imagine there's not a bunch of (mostly NFL guys) who know they can't actually compete at this level but get paid just to hang out all day who really appreciate having a good starter in front of them.

To be fair, we're the Blue Bombers. I'm not entirely sure when gold entered the picture.

Awesome! I hope you wear the fur coat! I got to run out on the field last year during the Calgary game. Super fun! Enjoy!
