We are, by principle, extremely opposed to the idea of third jerseys. But you know what? We love, love, love the Blue Jackets’ new third jerseys. WE LOVE THEM. ::CANNON BOOM!!!::
P.S. They could be improved if Stinger was shooting out of the cannon, but we’ll take what we can get.
EDITED TO ADD:
We take it all back about wishing Stinger was in the new logo. TAKE IT ALL BACK! Because Amy brought this to our attention:
IT’S BOOMER THE CANNON. THE MOST AMAZING, AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, BRILLIANT, EXTRAORDINARY, MAGNIFICENT THING OF ALL TIME. Blue Jackets, you’re our hero.

The sweaters are pretty neat. Did you also see their new “kid friendly” mascot Boomer the Cannon? I had no idea weaponry was supposed to be kid friendly.
NO! HOW DID WE MISS BOOMER THE CANNON?????
Amy, THANK YOU SO MUCH. We just found Boomer. We have just gazed on the face of Boomer. And we are HUMBLED.
I think what I love best about Boomer (the Cannon), aside from his general amazingness, is that he kind of looks like Mr. Butts found a new job.
This.Is.Amazing.
So does your Boomer get a royalty check every time the Blue Jackets score a goal? She should.
The jerseys are good, and it should be noted that a team without any significant history has a better 3rd jersey/retro jersey than most teams.

She just suggested that she’ll get her attorney on that immediately.
And yeah, I think every team should take a lesson from the BJs. They just schooled everyone else in the league on the art of third jerseys.
(Meanwhile, we put a big plate of turkey with a little gravy on the floor in the front hall for the cats to partake of. Our decrepit old man of a cat just cleaned the thing. He can barely walk now. It’s actually pretty hilarious.)
(Of course, I fully put forth that I can barely walk right now either, thanks to my dinner of hot open-faced turkey sandwich.)
This BJs intermission feature about the process of creating a third jersey is amazing. I want to be on a focus group that gets to respond to all the hundreds of logos and designs that Reebok creates! Next team looking to make a third jersey, call me! I’m available!
I think I need to be in a focus group, too! That’s a pretty nice jersey and I LOVE Boomer the Cannon! Look at his little wheels. So adorable.
I love that he has wheels and legs.
The Stars have a promo ticket for $35 that includes all-you-can-eat popcorn, nachos, hot dogs and soda. They compare it to a $35 ticket to Cowboys Stadium (the Death Star). For that money you get to STAND at the Death Star, and you have “access to buy a $13 hamburger” and you still have to pay $75 for parking.
Pretty much anything would be a good deal compared to a Cowboys ticket. :P
I love that he has wheels and legs.
And I love his Civil-War era mustache.
I…wow. Just wow.
Pretty much anything would be a good deal compared to a Cowboys ticket. :P
I once paid a man $45 to tip over the port-a-potty I was in while four men from Cape Town blew vuvuzelas at me through the little air holes so I wouldn’t have to go to a Cowboys game.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, that’s always nice to know.

Pookie suggested it was just for Movember. :P

That sounds reasonable to to me.
Pookie suggested it was just for Movember. :P
I was about to ask about that. :D My brother-in-law (from Tulsa) was sporting a goatee with no mustache and I asked him if it was in protest of Movember. He had no idea what I was talking about. :D
I wish I could grow a mustache so I could be as cool as Boomer the Diabeetus-Fighting Cannon.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It’s nothing a little mustache glue can’t fix for you, Tim. :{D
Patty, that would be hilarious if someone DID grow a mustacheless goatee in protest.
I wish I could grow a mustache so I could be as cool as Boomer the Diabeetus-Fighting Cannon.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice one.
Patty, I had a co-worker who did Movember well before I saw any hockey players doing it. It was pretty awesome. He grew a chopper.
He grew a chopper.
My bro-in-law said his boys were trying to talk him into various crazy arrangements. The chopper was one. Is that where the mustache blends into the long sideburns?
Dave has a ridiculously long layover in Newark on his way to Sweden tomorrow. He said he had enough time to take the train to visit the Ookies and be back in time for his connecting flight.
Yeah, there were some serious sideburns involved, too. He’s since moved on, so I didn’t get to see what he was growing this year.
Myra, we’re going to the sleigh bell sale at the living history farm tomorrow — Dave’s welcome to join us! :P
Ooof, that’s a long layover! We won’t be here, though. We’re headed out to the local living history farm for a sleighbell sale. We are so happening. But, of course, Dave is welcome to join us! :D
Seriously, though, have a good, safe flight, Dave!
I once paid a man $45 to tip over the port-a-potty I was in while four men from Cape Town blew vuvuzelas at me through the little air holes so I wouldn’t have to go to a Cowboys game.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::
That sounds reasonable to to me.
Definitely better than sitting through a Cowboys game.
Hee hee! Jinx, Pookie! :D
I think he probably has time for the sleigh bell sale as well. It’s like a six hour layover.
I want sleigh bells. Hmm.
What time will he be getting in?
He’ll be there from 11:15 to 5:30 tomorrow and noon until 6 next Saturday.
Funfetti.
He’s bringing a couple thick books on the Civil War with him.
That IS a bit of sitting around in Newark, isn’t it? Sounds like he’ll get a lot of reading done…
Why is Dave going to Sweden, Myra? Training? Company HQ?
Big meeting at company HQ.
I was just looking at the BJ’s new jerseys and you know what I like the best? The tail is the same color as the pants. It makes the bottom stripe look like the bottom. This is what I’ve been trying to tell these teams! Was that so hard?! :P
Obviously I was right all along because they look fabulous. :D
This is terrific!
I wish I could grow a mustache so I could be as cool as Boomer the Diabeetus-Fighting Cannon.
SNORT!
