Quebecers make their way to Winnipeg for Grey Cup with unwashed jerseys in tow

Jarrod Dyer Cambridge says he can go another week before washing his Tyson Philpot jersey — at least until the end of Sunday’s Grey Cup championship between the Montreal Alouettes and Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Montrealer hasn’t washed the wide receiver’s No. 6 jersey since the Canadian Football League season began in June and has worn it to every Alouettes game since then. He believes leaving the jersey steeped in body odour is good luck — washing it can jinx the team.
