Moving on from all the depressing loss threads

Two questions: First does anyone know why Bertrand wears a #41 jersey with no name before the game and second what esks memorabilia do you guys have that different from an autographed jersey? I for example have an autographed Wruck card and a ball signed by the whole team.

There are a few players that choose to wear a 'warm-up' jersey. From my understanding it has to do with superstition and sometimes they just want to start the game with fresh threads. (Some players tend to get a little sweaty...)

Quincy Stewart had No. 36 on in practice too.

Re: Moving on from all the depressing loss threads

the reason why some players wear a different jersey in warmups is because the game jersey is taped to the shoulders pads before the game, and we don't wear shoulder pads in warmups.

Re: Moving on from all the depressing loss threads

So, is it just those guys who have their jerseys taped to the pads?

There are a number of players that tape their jerseys, but they have more than one jersey...some players have the same number, other players use spare jersey's until the team can get a second jersey for them for warm-ups.

I'm not sure if you're someone within the esks organization or not, but thanks for the info.

There was an outlet at WEM too. Loved those cookies.

For memorabilia, we have a Grey Cup 2003 worn eskimo helmet signed by 90% of the team.

I own arguably the most famous helmet of the last 25 years from an Eskimo player - Jason Tucker's helmet where he made that catch in the endzone and the hat goes flying when he hits the ground. I may post a photo of it later.
