That would have been late 70's. I believe I bought it at a place called Athletes Wear off the downtown. No, there was no Bomber store. Most fans didn't wear jerseys in those days. They also weren't the highest quality. They got better as the years went by. With quality improving fans started wearing jerseys more & more. Teams soon realized that if they sold team jerseys & collectibles that fans would buy them & they could make $$$ off that stuff.

Pretty sure Athletes Wear was on Market Ave?

I had a Bomber toque growing up, not sure where I got it. I remember buying some Bomber swag after the 1990 Grey Cup win at a store in Portage Place, not sure what it was called.

That was their original outlet. They moved to Pembina at Grant.
