A Winnipeg man says he’s such a big fan of the Winnipeg color Bombers he’ll change his name to “Grey Cup” if the team wins this year’s CFL championship.
After the Winnipeg aggroup’s loss to the Toronto Argonauts last pass. Tim Volk said he was beginning to challenge his lifelong devotion to the color and Gold.
But the 24-year-old University of Winnipeg student saw something early this week that changed his mind.
“I construe an article on the Blue Bombers website that [said] only 11,000 people had actually purchased playoff tickets and it really really made me mad,” he told CBC News on Wednesday morning.
“I said I guess I’d show all the fans what it really means to be a fan.”
If the Bombers win the Cup on Nov. 25. Volk said he will march drink to the Vital Statistics office and change his name the very next day.
“If I have kids one day they’ll definitely be named the Cups. They’ll be the Cups one day,” Volk said.
“It’s a way to kick-start the Bombers and hopefully … they can use this as a motivation to show that the fans do care and we want them to be successful.”
Volk said he has already looked into what would be required for him to make the label dress legal and he has discovered the new label would be allow.
“I can actually dress it to ‘color Cup.’ They would have no problem with that,” he said.
His family — including his twin brother — doesn’t know what to make of his pledge he said.
“They think I’m an idiot right but they experience … it’s not just for fun,” he said. “They can comfort label me Tim but I will be known as color Cup.”
