Shane Does Art Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Great, we get to see Ottawa kill another CFL franchise for a third time!! Oh... I get it Neon Matrix, you dislike Ottawa. Thanks for clarifying that for us. No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. He loves Ottawa. He's always talking about it, it makes perfect sense. Hi, how are you?

NEW.ERA Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 This means the Bombers are on there way back to the West which they rightfully belong to but lets hope we'll be contenders by then. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee. Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I know history and sentiment dictate that the team go with Rough Riders, but really. How bush would it be?I vote for Rapidz. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Name Here Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 'Renegades' was really a solid football name. It's a shame that the execution sucked, but after watching this clip I guess 'Rough Riders' is the best way to go.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO6AaJurxH8By the by, it's ludicrous that the CFL doesn't have a terrestrial broadcast agreement. They should've insisted that Globemedia put games on CTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenatorJake Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 My top 3 name choices.1-Rough Riders2-Rough Riders3-Another word that starts with an "R" so we can bring back the old school helmets.The Ottawa team was named the Rough Riders well before the Saskatchewan Roughriders were around. That name is ours and I'm pretty sure the CFL bought it back form Horn Chen. (which in mandarin means Douchebag Asshat)In any case, it'll be nice when Frank Clair stadium is packed again. Hopefully the negociations with the city are quick and fruitful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'd try to name the team something to do with Rideau Canal or something like that. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That name is ours and I'm pretty sure the CFL bought it back form Horn Chen. (which in mandarin means Douchebag Asshat)The main difference here is, the Saskatchewan Roughriders haven't folded twice. Common sense (which I know, has no place near the CFL) that the league bought the name back for merchandising purposes.

SenatorJake Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I like the use of the word River in the name because Frank Clair is right next to the historic Rideau canal.Canalmen just sounds goofy. (not to mention it sounds like anal men)So in this case I would have to say Rivermen is a pretty good name. River Riders would be a nice compromise for those who would like to keep the Riders name but move away from the whole "2 teams with the same name" thing.

Lee. Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The next question is, will there be enough perceived public pressure to have a name that works in both official languages?If so, then we can start whittling down Riders of any kind, Rivers of any kind, etc. Voyageurs, for better or worse, may be the way to lean./just throwing it out there.

All the recent pro teams in Ottawa have or had monolingual English name. There wasn't much controversy about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Perhaps, but considering the AAA Lynx went out of their way to make sure the name itself was bilingual, I could see the new football team following suit."Rapidz" Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
