Blue Bombers unveil orange jerseys in recognition of Orange Shirt Day

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers unveiled New Era jerseys, which will be worn by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the visiting Edmonton Elks for the pre-game warmup to recognize Orange Shirt Day on Oct.8

The jerseys will be made available for an online auction following the Canadian Football League game, with funds raised donated to each team’s charity of choice.

The Bombers selected the Winnipeg Aboriginal Sport Achievement Centre, a foundation that helps to remove barriers for thousands of children annually and is Canada’s largest employer for Indigenous children and youth.

The Elks will be donating proceeds to Spirit North, a national charitable organization dedicated to improving the health and wellness of Indigenous children and youth through the transformative power of sport and play.
