I'm sorry but I have to vent about this. Why in the **** would they name their team the red blacks. The idea is to appeal to a younger generation as well, especially if you want to build a loyal fan base for years to come. Who in the hell would want to cheer for the red blacks?

Redblacks is a dumb name in English, but I think it sounds OK in French.

If I were still in Ottawa I'd buy some Rouge et Noir gear.

Home third jersey as our regular homes. The old whites away. That's what I'd love to see. Go back to Old School. Lots of teams have done that. The Argos went back to the old look. The Jets, Giants, 49ers all went back to their old looks. The Packers, Bears, Raiders & Chiefs have kept their old look for decades.

 

The problem lies with the cheap Winnipeggers.  They'd still be wearing their white / blue jerseys that they bought when they were 22 years old.  Rick House, Joe Poplawski, James West, and Bob Cameron jerseys: from the 80's, all worn out, and a size and a half too small.

 

The team needs to sell merchandise.  The best way to do so is to change the jerseys/symbols somewhat frequently.

No, the best way to sell merch is to win a championship or two & give the fans some new heroes to cheer for.
