Chromatic Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I still think the REDBLACKS have an impossibly dumb name.And the skates make him look like ol' Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It's a silly thing, but the name of the team is the Ottawa REDBLACKS. Not "RedBlacks", or "Redblacks". "REDBLACKS". All caps, all the time.Yes, but when all the Ottawans here refuse to call 'Le Rouge et Noir' by the all-caps mess it actually is, then it tends not to catch on that way. I understand. I'm sure that's true. From the French version of the official logosheet: VERBIAGE Ottawa REDBLACKS • REDBLACKS • Le Rouge et Noir d’Ottawa The name “REDBLACKS” must be used in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Le Rouge et Noir d’Ottawa (to be used in a sentence) Rouge et Noir d’Ottawa (to be used as a stand-alone) FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I still think the REDBLACKS have an impossibly dumb name.Well, you see, they weren't exactly sure whether they would finish in the red or in the black, so... Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcameronh Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Does anyone know when the RedBlacks unis will be unveiled?Looks like they will unveil the uniforms around May 10th.http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/02/21/ottawa-redblacks-going-with-plaid-fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vman Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 How conceited of them to try and push the all-caps thing. Non of the major sports networks are following suit, and I've found lowercase examples all over their official website. They'll no doubt drop it after the first season once they realize how ridiculous it is and what a massive failure the policy was. Hopefully the uniforms are better than that pathetic logo.

I'll only go when the Riders come to town, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They reflect the modern CFL. I wouldn't categorize it as traditional."This quote scares me. I'm just picturing a Saskatchewan jersey in black and red (or worse, plaid). I was really hoping they would try to emulate these uniforms but I guess not: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I don't know, if just a stripe on the sleeves was plaid, that's be kinda cool. But for sure they'll go all overboard and have a full-plaid jersey, plaid numbers, plaid pants, elope something along those lines. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

TorinK92 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Plaid jersey? No. But plaid arms, helmet stripe and numbers I'd be totally cool with.Maybe something along the lines of this: (done extremely quickly and roughly mind you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
