the new smokey
« on: September 07, 2008, 09:25:21 PM »
after seeing the "new lookin" smokey at the show, got me thinking if you saw smoke and did not know who he was would you know what he/she represents??

there is noting to say CFS no hat , jacket, tabard etc


what do you think?

With the old costume, and I suspect the new one, the most common comment from the public was "Oh look, it's Blinky Bill!!"

I would like to see CFS use Smoky a bit more...and actually make him look more like a fire fighter....put him in CFS yellows (which makes him look more CFS, and makes cleaning him easier - and perhaps a cheaper costume to buy!)

Its nice to see that he has been updated but they could have put a CFS helmet or some sort of tabard on him....It must be the time to update all fire service mascots as CFA have not long done the same but their Captain K has a red helmet....

What's the point if he's not in anything to signify CFS? Gotta wonder about the thought processes that happened with that
