Classic Team Logo of The Day

10 Oct

Logo of a football team from the Canadian Football League, the Ottawa Rough Riders, used from 1950 until 1960. The club was founded in 1876, and is one of the oldest pro sports franchises in North America. The 3 banners used in the logo stand for “Ottawa Football Club”, and during the era when this logo was used, the club made history a couple of times by playing games internationally. In 1950 and ’51, they hosted the NFL’s New York Giants in exhibition games, and in 1958, the Riders and Hamilton Tiger Cats met at Philadelphia’s Franklin Field, the first time a regular season CFL game was played on American soil.
