I have seen all the forums in the felions section, seen all the videos and pictures on the official website and also have seen the videos on youtube.com. I was just hoping that someone had some video clips from last year or some photos from this year since we lost our team photographer. Trying to do something special so anything would help.

He's not lost ..... the Lions decided they didn't want to take advantage of his VOLUNTEER services any longer

Do you still keep in touch with Jenny Duffy, Christa?

On Jenny's web page, I found a good video clip of the Felions performing in a 2005 game.

2 of the ones on You Tube are my brother's videos. That includes the one where they're "shakin' thay azzes". :lol:

Ahem, good video.

That's good. However, there are only a few new pictures and I'm disappointed that the pictures from Week 20 (The Oct. 28 game against Winnipeg) did not contain any photos of the Felions in their Halloween costumes.

I also noticed that for last night's WDF, the Felions changed their uniforms somewhat in that they wore a long-sleeved black top, like the one shown in the picture. Why is that?

[ChristaMichelle]

We wore our track jackets on field Sunday for a change. I think we all thought it would be colder than what it was as well. From what I could tell the black stood out and the girls looked great from a distance.

Don't worry the jackets aren't here to stay but they will help us in winterpeg!!

Christa,
Just some questions, who's in charge of the Felions, ie decisions? There should be no reason to not have a photographer for you ladies, as well as a videographer. Also are there plans for a Felions website? Annual Felions DVD? These are things that can only promote the team and the Felions.

[ChristaMichelle]

I wish I had a simple answer to your question, but unfortunately there are a lot of people involved when it comes to making decisions for the team. Depending on what it is determines who's making the desicion. Sometimes it may be the team along with our coordinator and choreographer, or the BC Lions Alumni (ie: Bob Ackles, Jennifer Graham etc.) and then again it could be completly out of our hands and be decided on by the CFL as a whole. There's a lot of work that goes into coordinating our team as well as money. This is one reason why we sell our calanders - to fundraise for ourselves not just to promote. We are always trying to come up with new ideas. I think that a website and a dvd would be a great idea and it is definitely something that could be taken into consideration for future years. Thank you for the great feedback.

Thanks for your response, Christa. Yes, it was nice to see some variety in your uniforms. I actually liked last season when the Felions had two sets of uniforms, and you would change during halftime. You are right in that the black uniforms stood out.

I have been checking out a lot of the forums in regards to the game on Sunday and it seems that the fans really enjoyed the look of the black jackets. I must say though, after having them on for the entire game I realized that if our uniform consisted of pants or long sleeve shirts the heat would be unbareable in the summer months.
