Grey Cup gear?

There's no Grey Cup gear on the Bomber Store site anymore?  I went to look at what the sales were like -- in the past 5 years GC gear gets progressively cheaper as the next season approaches, and there's always tons of leftovers -- and the grey cup section is gone?

It's not under SALE or Misc either.  Unless I'm just not seeing something...

Did they just blow it all out to discounters wholesale?  Or did the Greenies raid us en masse?  Weird.  When I checked in late Dec they still had tons of stuff.  Has anyone been in the store in person to see if they have anything there?

I was in there on Valentine's Day. Cannot recall any grey cup gear off the top of my head, although my memory is not what it used to be.

I was at the stadium Bomber store about 3 weeks ago and they still have a few racks of Grey Cup gear left.

Probably sold everything left over to a Sask. outfit that would have an ongoing market for sales, instead of discounting and dumping inventory till it was all gone.

That would make sense, however, if that was a viable option, why wouldn't the other GC host cities do this every year?  Every year since 2019 I've been able to score cheap GC gear basically up until TC.

BomberStore website still managed to suck me into buying some of their non-GC sale stuff... so they still got me!  I need to stay away from that place... have WAY too much blue & gold gear around here!

The answer is that nobody was buying it anymore and keeping inventory around that doesn't sell costs money.

New seasonal gear starts to come in soon and the virtual and physical inventory space was needed for stuff that will sell. No different than any other clothing business and how they handle inventory season to season.

There was no mass sale to Saskatchewan. Nothing strange or weird is happening. That stuff is gone now. The end.

Had to go somewhere though!  WFC wouldn't just trash it all...
