To be fair when the Roughriders came along we didn't start off as green and white...we were black and red and grey....which was what the Ottawa Rough Riders also had. We didn't become green and white until after a few flamboyant color changes (purple and gold...no offense Vikings) and then finding green and white uniforms on sale at a store.
Come on guys (below), why so stupid? Fact: The teams had historically belonged to separate leagues ('unions'), which were not merged until the late 1950s. When the CFL was formed they were allowed to keep their nicknames. There you go, perfectly logical explanation.
Epic funny. It doesn't matter if their uniforms were green and white, all that matters is they added a space between two words and they had 7 teams from which they had to differ. Says a lot I think about creativity and ingenuity in CDN sports. Just ask the fxckin' "raptors". When's the last time you saw anyone find dinosaur bones in the GTA?
@SmiffWit I would agree that the whole Roughriders/Rough Riders thing was stupid......not a fan of the CFL anyways, and I'm Canadian. But pointing out the fact that there were no Raptors in Toronto? Last I checked, there were no Penguins in Pittsburgh, no Bears in Chicago, no Vikings in Minnesota, no Grizzlies in Memphis, no Kings in Sacramento, no Bobcats in Charlotte, (hopefully) no Wizards in Washington, and barely any lakes in Los Angeles. Hopefully you see what I'm getting at.
@Stevo935 It was a joke.. not even sure what a roughrider IS... I thought it was having sex bareback on sandpaper. But thanks for the lesson on Wizards. Otherwise I would have walked around Washington for days with my camera ready.
