17to85 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 They could improve the game experience by winning more than they lose. IC Khari, Jimmy Pop, Ripper and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBBFanWest Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 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 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 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! comedygeek and TrueBlue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate007 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 The plane needs an update. Paint it royal blue, make it louder (maybe outfit it with a turbine), gold rims, etc. TrueBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 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. TrueBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBBFanWest Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 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. TrueBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I wish there were fireworks or something like several other teams have. Make it a bit more exciting. comedygeek and TrueBlue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engelwood Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 If you were going to redo the plane, make it look like a B-17 Flying Fortress. Just about the most recognizable bomber. TrueBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 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. comedygeek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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