Funny how we went through this discussion exactly three years ago: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/arch.../t-175924.html

I went into OSEG's website and plugged in my suggestions from back then. For the CFL, I think Raftsmen is good, it captures the meaning of the original Rough (water) Riders, starts with an 'R", and could be stereotypically pictured wearing red, black and white plaid. It's also a term used in French, as in one of the few truly Ottawan folk songs "Laissez passer les Raftsmen (Bing sur la ring, bing bang!)" (They even play that song as far down as Tennessee



For the NASL, I put in Sappers, after the Royal Sappers and Miners who were instrumental in building the canal which is right beside the stadium. Their uniforms were also red black and white.
