Sodboy13 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Just make it plural. An Ottawa football fan needs a spinal cord of steel to bear the burden of all they've been through the last 20 years or so.

Jaybird Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I wonder why they couldn't use the name of the company's energy drink, Cheetah, for their nickname.However, with the team using the name Steelback, I guess they could follow the trend of the New York/New Jersey Red Bull of MSL and name themselves after a drink.Also, the name Steelbacks is used for a cricket club in England, which named themselves for a regimental unit in Britain. Their logo is the word "Steelbacks" on a sword. Atlanta Braves, please bring back the Indian Head logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Well, hopefully something good will come out of this owner. "Steelback" sounds like an original name, reminds me of a fish found in Lake Ontario. But I think that name would best suit Hamilton, being the "Steel Capitol of Canada".I'd call them the Ottawa Steelbacks, with an "s" also. I hope naming the team after a corporate sponser doesn't become a trend in the CFL. Kind of like the Montreal Molsons, that doesn't sound right.

friarcanuck Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I guess they'd drop their advertising at Argos' games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumbergh Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 This woulkd be good losing a team is bad they cant afford to have Ottawa fold again. yeah, at least they will have more than 8 this year, that would have been a fun season... But good someone stepped up and revived the team, why couldn't they just keep the name rennegades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 This is all a publicity stunt as far as I'm concerned.He hasn't even talked to the league yet and he's already revealing jerseys with his company's name on the back? Not cool.I don't see how this kind of attitude is any better than what has plagued Ottawa football for 25 years. So far he is simply revealing himself to the public as another hopless "me first" owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjinners Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 You can see the uniform concept here .... http://photos.newswire.ca/cnw-bin/cnw_prev...kUniform-EN.jpgLooks like a pure publicity grab by Mr. D'Angelo. Those in Southern Ontario familiar with his lame beer commercials featuring him with retired hockey legends will probably get an idea of where this guy is coming from.

The uniform doesn't look too bad, although I can barely see the name on the back of the jersey.At least they got red socks, I'm nuts about red socks.As for Mr. D'Angelo making this a publicity stunt...ONLY IN OTTAWA!!!!

Sodboy13 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 What does it say about Reebok and the current state of football uniforms that a hastily-arranged PR stunt can churn out a better uni than the braintrust at Reebok did in 7 tries during last year's CFL overhaul? (Montreal and Edmonton remaining relatively unscathed.)
