docrocket Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I am watching the Banjo Bowl on TSN, and the Bombers look great in their alts (sorry I couldn't get a screen cap...maybe someone else can). If you look closely, some players have the correct white-gold-white sleeve striping, while many others are wearing a gold-white-gold pattern.Could this be yet another thing that Winnipeg has messed up this season?(null) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edubdesign Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 That's because those aren't their alts, Cards. Those are their aways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I don't see what you're talking about exactly, but I do see that on one player the white on the sleeve stops at the blue, while on the other player the white on the sleeve goes all the way down to the armpit.

wheateater Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I noticed the same thing. I wonder if they had some leftover jerseys from another year and wanted to use them up. Or this could be a Reebok mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docrocket Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I have pics, but I can't seem to be able to post them from my iPad. I'll work on it, to show you what I mean! Thanks Wheateater! That is exactly what I meant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheateater Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Looks like the Bombers wore the white-gold-white sleeves last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or this could be a Reebok mistake...It looks like the mistake is correlated to the different jersey cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walby2 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Epic fail by Reebok.The gold-white-gold striping has never to my knowledge been worn by the Bombers, and even if I'm wrong and it turns out that it was actually worn for one game in the 1970s sometime, it is amateurish beyond words to mix two different jerseys on one team.How hard is it to look at a few pictures from the 1980s era (which is the era these jerseys are supposed to throw back to) and actually notice the striping pattern that was used?How does Reebok explain this? They should be embarrassed by this bungle. 30 seconds of Google image searching would have prevented this from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRamsFan Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I don't think it's a big deal. I honestly never would have noticed unless I had read about it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the fault lie with Winnipeg for allowing the player's to go out with 2 different sets? Reebok deserves some blame but the equipment manager should have spoke up too.

I can't imagine that the equipment manager wouldn't have immediately noticed, but who knows? I suppose that if the box o' jerseys arrived on the Monday before the game then there wouldn't have been any time do anything. But somehow I can't imagine that they were shipped that late given that the Bombers have been flogging replicas of this uni for a couple of months now... I suspect you're right and Winnipeg was indeed at fault. To me it is just unbelievable that no one involved in this process took a fricking second to look at a picture of the Bombers from the 80s to get the colour scheme right. It's not like it's a complicated thing to duplicate. It's annoying that the organization can be that ignorant of its own (recent) history.I was at this game and I have to admit it was one of the first things I noticed when the players took the field... fortunately the Bombers overcame that obstacle to grind out a win vs. Saskatchewan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthers_2012 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I don't even how a team can make that mistake. Maybe Reebok did make those jerseys wrong, but still, that is no excuse to screw up jerseys during gameday.Maybe somebosy overlooked the stripe, but I don't know how you can screw it up a white stripe with a GOLDEN YELLOW stripe!

docrocket Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 I am watching TSN2...a rerun of the game this past weekend between Hamilton and Winnipeg. The Blue Bombers are wearing their retro unis, and this time they got it right...all the sleeve stripes are the same white-gold-white! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
