JuranBoldenRules Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Perhaps it's somewhat hopeless to dream but THESE are the Bomber unis IMO ... simple, classic, like the Leafs, Canadians, Rangers, Cowboys, Giants etc. What's so difficult about bringing these back? Sigh ... Wish our current "retro" royal blues had that colour right. Don't know why everything has to have a shiny, glossy finish. They got the helmets right though. johnzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 The shiny glossy finish I think is just the modern synthetic materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 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. Harbaugh and max power 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 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.

SPuDS Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Looking forward to seeing the jersey... Helmet looks good IMO, better then Mountain Dew dome or plaid skull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Pop Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm digging that helmet too... Very urban camo vibe. Much liking! 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I will say... Lack of gold is odd... It does look a tad.. Argoish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 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. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
