The CFL was a merger between regional leagues in the east and west where the teams were older than the league and no one was going to change their name. Kinda like how there are approximately a million Tiger and WIldcat teams in the NCAA.

When Ottawa folded and a replacement expansion team tried to bring back the Rough Rider name, then Saskatchewan got to say "No, go away" so then they had the Renegades that didn't work out, and now the REDBLACKS (with the caps being the official spelling).

The team didn't use Rough Riders because the Glieberman family didn't want to pay Horn Chen for the rights to the name and logo.

They apparently want to keep an E name so they don't have to change any logos or anything. Edmonton Elks keeps getting thrown around.

They've been branding towards Empire for years, it's only a matter of time until they change to that.

Guess what? You got it for free! Are you proud of yourself?

There's a satirical radio program on the CBC called This Is That. Basically the radio version of The Onion/The Beaverton, and I distinctly remember hearing a bit early on in the shows life where an oil tycoon from Texas purchased the entire CFL and moved them to various cities in America where they did business so he could watch live, professional football wherever he went. Doesn't sound too crazy anymore.

Edmonton Football Team™ lol
