Touchdown Celebrations @ IGF

[TrueBlue]

Looking for opinions on how the Bombers should improve this aspect of the game experience.

[17to85]

They could improve the game experience by winning more than they lose. 

[WBBFanWest]

I second that thought.  Score enough touchdowns and I really don't care what they do.  Score too few and a fly over by a squadron of Lancaster bombers dropping free t-shirts wouldn't be enough.

Well, if they were really nice t-shirts it might help, but still...

[Bigblue204]

I would honestly like to see some of the older songs come back. Like "shout" or something like that. Something that everyone knows or can learn real quick that will pull the entire crowd together and get the place jumpin!

Let me take over from Captain Blue.....and I will gun that plane, up and down the field.........

Wouldn't you then be driving under the influence of gin?

The plane needs an update. Paint it royal blue, make it louder (maybe outfit it with a turbine), gold rims, etc.

[Mike]

New plane would be cool.

I don't like the plane right now, but I think part of that is because it looks like it's decades old.

[WBBFanWest]

The plane design is a funny choice for those of us who are students of history.  It's a bi-plane.  Now there were bombers that were bi-planes in WWI, but that little plane is modeled after a fighter, so that has nothing whatsoever to do with the Bombers.  If they tried to make the plane look like a little Lancaster or Halifax, that would be really cool.  Or if one wanted a more modern aircraft, I guess an CF-18 "look" might work too.

I realize that maybe 5% or less of people would know or care, but seeing that it's been brought up, there's my thoughts on it.

[retro]

I wish there were fireworks or something like several other teams have.  Make it a bit more exciting.

Well, there is always a Gotha G. V. bomber......but would have to be somewhat larger....

[Engelwood]

If you were going to redo the plane, make it look like a B-17 Flying Fortress. Just about the most recognizable bomber.

[Super Duper Negatron]

Every touchdown we score removes an ad from the scoreboard, until ultimately the actual video takes up the entire screen.

[TrueBlue]

Doing something with the plane is a good idea, but it could prove costly, depending on what's being done.   

Apart from this, there's going to be something brand new happening this year at games that's pretty exciting.

That was never ever flown by Canadians?  No thanks.

Lol, yes, we could do that except for the fact that it's a German bomber, there would be three of us in the stands that might recognize it and it would be so fragile that it would fall apart on the second touchdown!

How about this one, something completely different than what's a normal reaction to scoring. Every touchdown we score the fans and players do the whispering motion and sound to Psyche out the opponent. That would be an ironically loud sound in the stadium. No, okay I'll go back to the drawing board.

Oh and I'm with the posters who think scoring more touchdowns would be nice.

It's been decades since we've won anything so somehow it fits

Cargo/transport usage only.  If you're going in that direction, might as well make it a Herc.  Which would work fine if they were called the Winnipeg Blue Haulers.

Yup, that would be too much like Bomber teams of past years......

How about the cheerleaders take off a piece of clothing for every TD.  Ok, I know that won't fly but still think the idea is a dam good one

[do or die]

I remember the good ole days....when we scored a lot of touchdowns....and the fans provided more than enough..... for TD celebrations...

But now everyone needs it spoon fed to them......

Let's hope winning is one of them

Last year that stunt would've  worked since the lack of TD"s we scored.
