    Lots of interesting situations in pro and rec hockey with this and late hits or vicious stick attacks.  Many legal cases over the years.  Significant one with a high school rugby match too and a future NHLer who killed an opponent with excessive contact outside the bounds of what is part of game.

    I wonder what kind of liability waivers CFL players sign.

    I said when it happened I'd press charges! Where does overenthusiasm cross the line into straight up assault? I don't think we are being dramatic here. That was violent and totally outside of the game. My blood boils in the checkout at Costco and I barely ever headbutt other people

    Right! Head injuries can be life changing.

    Thank you for the explanation Kim.

    As a hardcore Blue Bomber fan since the 1990s, I've been to the Bombers store three times in a row in the past year wanting to spend my money, but simply will not buy anything that is navy blue, or that has the generic and empty "W" logo we have now. University of Washington, is it?

    Despite some of the logistical hurdles, I just cannot understand the resistance to giving the team the classic, classy, and distinctive look that the fans really want. 

    Hey, here's something fun for you to try.  Print out a picture of the Bombers helmet and ask 100 Winnipeggers which team's helmet is in the picture.   Then, if you have a bit more free time, try doing that at various points elsewhere in Canada.  See how many say U of Washington.  Get back to us on the results, would you?

     

    Sounds like a fun study :) To clarify, I think the W makes perfect sense on the helmet, but on a hat or shirt, doesn't mean anything to me as there is no context and not enough brand recognition to make the connection.

    The Bombers had the "W" logo before the University of Washington.

     

    Interesting, I didn't know that. But, my point is that there is nothing about the plain W on a hat or t-shirt that makes me identify with the Bombers. I love the W on our helmet, but outside of that context, it doesn't make me think of Winnipeg, the Bombers, or football.  I get that the point of the W is to connect it with wins.

    But the logo is three steps back from our 80's logo of the W emerging from behind the football, with the words Blue Bombers. There is no way anybody can misinterpret that logo and what it represented. Not to mention that logo had our team colours nice and bright. 

    To each their own, but I won't be spending any money on merch with the new logo or the navy colours.
