That's how I remember it, too.

To me this is the best example of doing retro right



Last years 60's Steelers/Ticat looking Bomber jersey was the worst ...

Those jerseys are sweet. Back in the early 8o's I had a Dieter Brock home jersey & it looked exactly the same. Funny but TRUE story. In 1980, I was at Grand Beach with a buddy throwing a football on the beach wearing my #5 Brock jersey. I used to weight lift back in those days so I was a solid 195 lbs. As I was throwing, a guy came up to me & asked if I was Dieter Brock.
I wanted so much to string him along & say yes but I didn't.

Now that jersey is nice, but this gem is the real winner of retro week. The poor guy who designed this must have spent weeks away from his family, locked in his studio to come up with this beauty.

Another true story.

Back in November 1976 I was walking along the southern perimeter of McMahon and heading down the steps towards the administration offices on game day looking for a couple of tickets (it was the final game of that horrid Joe Tiller-led 2 and 14 Stampeders season).

There was no else around since it was a couple of hours before kickoff and in those days pre-game tailgates at McMahon were unheard of.

A couple of 10 year old boys decked out in 'rider shirts were gesturing and pointing at me as I approached and I could hear them arguing with one another about whether or not I was Al Ford who was at that time the 'riders blocking back for the legendary George Reed. One of them, who was truly convinced that I was the real deal, finally goaded the other into asking whether I was indeed Allan Ford.

I thought about my answer for a millisecond and then smilingly replied that "no, I am not Allan Ford", and that "I was glad that I wasn't 'cause Allan Ford was going to take a real bad beating" that day. (As it turned out the Stampeders lost a high-scoring close one on the final play to the 'riders to finish their season...but I digress).

As I walked on, I could hear one of them whisper to the other "he sure looked like Al Ford...so then which Stampeder was he?"

I was chortling to myself about my apparent running back physique when the thought finally dawned on me: the only reason that boy thought I resembled Al Ford was because of my 70's style chocolate brown sports blazer and my orange and blue plaid Johnny Miller polyester golf pants...

I'm sure that form of dress was "de riguere" for the 'riders on road trips back then.

Probably still is...

Nope.

I'm 6'2" so I never needed any "platform" height, and the only white shoes I've ever owned were for athletics, but I did sport a white leather belt with a cool diamond cut pattern in it!

Well, I guess I was the lone holdout then...never owned a pair and never was taller than 6'2''...whether with, or without, my white leather diamond cut belt...

The nice thing about being 6'3 with those platforms was when they went out of style I was still six feet tall.
