Manitoba politicians threw away tradition by donning blue and gold to show support for the home team.

The dress code that requires men to wear a jacket and necktie during question period in the Manitoba legislature was relaxed Friday so MLAs could show their support for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Members were granted leave to wear Bomber jerseys without a jacket in the chamber ahead of Sunday’s Grey Cup in Regina, where the Bombers will face off against the Toronto Argonauts.

Deputy Speaker Andrew Micklefield wears a Bombers jersey during Question Period Friday.

NDP Leader Wab Kinew stuck to his team’s colour, wearing a New Democrat-orange Bombers jersey rather than the hometown team’s blue and gold.

“Today, we’re all united as Manitobans,” said government house leader Kelvin Goertzen, a self-proclaimed Bombers super-fan.
