Is this what it's going to look like? I sure as hell hope not...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The shiny glossy finish I think is just the modern synthetic materials. 

I still laugh every time I see Dieter hucking the ball with that big ass towel hanging from his waist. He looks like he just walked out of the sauna.

Back in the days of real grass turf & mud. He needed that towel to keep his hands dry to grip the football. Anyone here remember that semi final playoff game in 1980 at Canad Inns against the Stamps where we got about 8 inches of snow & ice Saturday & it all melted Sunday? The field turned into a quagmire of mud & slush. There was little or no traction for the players so the offenses ground to a halt. Bomber fullback Mark Bragagnolo ripped off a 90 yard run up the middle to win the game?

And who says that the running game has no relevance?

I was there, in a full on "snow-mobile" suit. So was my dad. Kept nice and warm. Lots of thermos' being passed around in the crowd that day, which my dad told me were full of "coffee". Brock kept the team driving down the middle the entire game as it was the only part of the field that the O-Line could stay upright without sliding all over the place. It was too bad that in 1980 we had to hit the Eskimos dynasty in their prime in the Western Final, we had a really good team that year.

I was negative 4 when that happened.

What marketing genius came up with the 'player reaction' promo...  January's looks more like a scene from Pineapple Express II

Anyone care to post the twitter pics of our helmets and January's close up photo on here. I can't from my phone.

Yikes.  January's reaction makes a bit more sense now...

I don't have Twitter. Can someone post the photo?

That helmet looks like crap.

Well, that ought to inspire the team to go on a 12-0 run from here on.

It's Atari Football! LOL

 

 

Obviously in the minority but I like the helmet.

I'm digging that helmet too... Very urban camo vibe. Much liking!

Don't hate the helmet, i'd like it more  if they replaced the argo blue with some bomber gold, outside of that though, it looks OK.

 

Not really expecting anything too great, just based on everyone elses that have been revealed, is the helmet the worst? nope, is it the best? nope, is it any worse than any of the others that have been revealed so far? not really, the light blue don't make much sense to me though. 

Looking forward to seeing the jersey... Helmet looks good IMO, better then Mountain Dew dome or plaid skull

Well send them down to Ferguson, MO where they'll get good use. As for a BOMBERS helmet, I'd prefer it looked a little, like, you know, it belongs to the BOMBERS!

I will say... Lack of gold is odd... It does look a tad.. Argoish

There's only 8 other teams. Even if they refuse to use the Bombers actual colors, not sure why they have to exactly match another team's.

 

But whatever, as far as gimmicky uniforms go, this is not the worst start. At least it's not plaid or watermelon seeds!

Seriously looks like an Argonaut helmet. I was gonna buy a jersey tomorrow, but now I'm really not so sure. I've got an open mind though.

It's badass. I hope there is little gold on the Jersey.

I am going to reserve judgment till I see them in action. They all have looked a little ridiculous with the players modeling them but have looked a lot better in game action.

Wonder if anyone is gonna say we support Russia now that our signature jerseys match their arctic urban camo style..
