As I wrote, this is a ‘hometown’ versus ‘hometown’ thing. Calgary is my Western team and Ottawa is my ‘original’ team, though these aren’t the Rough Riders (thanks to the SECOND Roughriders team in Canada quashing the use of the name ‘Rough Riders’ for the new Ottawa franchise. Gosh darn green flatlanders!)

IF they were called the ‘Rough Riders’, the choice would be easy (RR)! If it were ANYBODY but an Ottawa team, it would be easy (Stamps). No such luck today. May the best team win! (On paper, that looks like the Stamps.)

Ah, don’t remind me. Born in SK, grew up in BC, so I too have 2 teams but was nauseated by the RR name when what? 3 teams called themselves Roughriders? LOL For this thread alone, I started to remember what Doug Flutie did for us when I was wee kid.
