What exactly is a "RedBlack" anyway?
I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm curious if the name has some local association or is it based on color scheme only?[/quote]
It's not anything. It's a made up word lol. The Ottawa franchise was originally called the Rough Riders and they had the big R logo on the helmet. Everyone loved the name. But they couldn't go back to it. So they wanted a name that started with R so they could have it on the helmet. Also, the football team and the Ottawa Senators have always had red and black as the primary colours. I was skeptical at first, but the name has grown on me. They have a buzz saw as the logo which suits Ottawa well. Can't wait to be able to cheer on my Rams and RedBlacks at the same time next year lol
