Based in 1876, the Tough Riders had been the skilled crew within the nation’s capital till they folded in 1996, profitable 9 Gray Cups. The CFL acknowledges all three Ottawa franchises — Tough Riders, Renegades, and Redblacks — as a single entity for record-keeping functions.
It’s unclear how typically the Redblacks intend to make use of their new helmets however they won’t be the one particular characteristic for Legacy Night time, because the group will probably be honouring the 2016 Gray Cup-winning crew.
