One of the first things Blue Bombers fan Chris Matthew will need to do after he finishes celebrating WinnipegB次元官网网址檚 is shop for trousers.

Matthew promised his friends in November 2001 that he would keep wearing shorts until the Bombers won a Canadian Football League championship.

It didnB次元官网网址檛 happen that year B次元官网网址� they lost to Calgary B次元官网网址� so heB次元官网网址檚 been braving ManitobaB次元官网网址檚 chill winters with half his legs uncovered for the last 18 years.

That all changed on Sunday when Winnipeg beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 33-12.

Matthew was in Calgary to cheer on his team and pulled on an old pair of grey camo sweat pants over his shorts after the win.

Fashion critics didnB次元官网网址檛 take long to comment about his less-than-stylish wardrobe after a video popped up on social media, but Matthew says the sweats were the only pants he had that still fit.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檒l probably have to buy a new pair of jeans or two,B次元官网网址� Matthew told CTV B次元官网网址 on Monday.

He said his wife is happy heB次元官网网址檚 going to be wearing long pants again.

B次元官网网址淣ow if we need to go somewhere that pants are required, we can actually go there,B次元官网网址� he said.
