I really enjoyed the logo ranking series even though I agree with Justin on the Als logo.

Best wishes for 2025 guys. So the Bombers coaching staff is now full of holes and yet we hear nothing out of that camp. Now past the first week in 2025 , and we have heard about changes from every team in the CFL. Are Miller and O'Shea struggling to find good people? Us Bomber fans are getting nervous and are wondering if we will have the same sluggish start of 2024 by the Bombers in 2025. What is going on in Bomberland?
