A lot of people in Ottawa are not exactly keen on the name. Without the CamelCase, the Redblacks is actually a pretty decent name (and being in such close proximity to the Watertown Red & Black, which probably would have been preferred if the French translation-- rouge et noir, literally red and black-- is any indication, that name probably wasn't viable).
It's pretty clear that they wanted to bring back the Rough Riders (the logo is even an updated Rough Riders R) but Saskatchewan was not going down that road again, hence the genericized name. As a Tiger-Cats fan, I wish Ottawa good luck... but not TOO much.

I am not much of a CFL fan, however I root for the Tiger Cats because they are closest to Pitt and they are Black n Gold.
But maybe I should just start fresh with a new team
