WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers looked more blue than gold during Monday’s practice.
Players wore their new CFL Signature helmets while running drills. They feature a light blue digital camouflage print over a dark blue helmet.
“I like it,” said Bombers quarterback Drew Willy. “It’s something different. You see every team has a little bit of a different flair to their uniforms. For us, it’s a good look.”
“Ehn,” disagreed Bombers slotback Paris Cotton. “It’s different. Just the pattern, it’s kind of off.”
The full uniforms won’t be unveiled until Tuesday.
The league has partnered up with Reebok to design new jerseys for each team.
The Bombers (5-3) will debut the uniforms during Friday’s home game against the Montreal Alouettes (1-6).
Winnipeg will wear the new jerseys once this season.
THIRD DOWN: The Bombers have signed receiver Kemonte’ Bateman and offensive Chad Anderson to their practice roster.
Bateman was released by the Edmonton Eskimos this off-season. The Los Angeles product originally signed with the team last September. Bateman spent time with the NFL’s Denver Broncos before heading to Edmonton.
Anderson previously played for the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. He’s the brother of current Bombers defender Zach Anderson.
