Rivermen: Decent if bland
Bootleggers: Wouldn't be bad in the capital RE Government types, oh that's BootLICKERS...
Raiders: This is Steve Warne's baby.
All Reds: I guess a take on New Zealand's All Blacks? They also spin to the ALL IN ALL RED Senators take.
Outlaws: Not sure how tying us in to a drug-dealing biker gang will help, unless they want extra help with road security (Echoes of Altamont...yes I know those were Hell's...)

I would go for Outlaws just to see the biker gang invade the Glebe on game days.

Hey all, turns out OSEG wants YOU to pick the new team names for CFL and NASL.

See links below:

I voted for Jerkstore's idea and for the soccer I voted "Ottawa Storm Troopers" based on the ww1, not star wars.

Oh lord...you mean like the later Nazi Germany SS Stormtroopers? That'll fly..

[saskriders]

Rough Riders and Rouge et Noir

[littleD]

Really, I need to give all those details just to suggest a team name?

[EdTheSabresFan]

So you don't vote twice perhaps?

I mean, a competent web person could set up a poll/survey that doesn't allow more than one response per person.

[saskriders]

Maybe the winning name will get jersey design input from the suggester, look at how popular JerkStores design has become

Only a problem if we play an exhibition against Poland.

I submitted that we call the football team the peni$ punchers and the soccer team the genital generals.

Contact info and all.

Nice. Adds to the curve.

[Qward]

ohhh. Great name ideas.

Football: The Ottawa Leafs-suck
Soccer: The Ottawa Habs-suck

[Jerk Store]

HAHAHAHA! Man, I feel they'll get so many hilarious proposals! Anyway, the Highlanders FB group has been submitting Highlanders. I know OSEG doesn't like me much, but it's still a strong name with a good reason behind it

you personally or the idea? or both lol?

[SilverSeven]

Hopefully they dont just pick the most popular one. Number of submissions for a given name should only be a small part of it. Online things like this are pretty biased towards certain demographics.

[Ed Wood]

Love the Highlanders name but I`m biased being Scottish. Voyageurs, Loggers and Rivermen also make a lot more sense than Roughriders ever did.

You mean the majority of potential fans?

Personally I hope they do take the majority pick....quick and sweet.

Not to mention the demographic the CFL needs to target.

[saskriders]

Jeff Hunt said in the Sun today that regardless of name the team colours will be red, white, and black

The majority of potential fans do not spend a lot of time on forums and doing online polls.

I believe the Montreal Alouettes still own that name from when they were the Baltimore Stallions.
