ted Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 ^ Should have looked at the page in question: The name “Roughriders” or anything that contains “Riders” cannot be adopted as a football team nickname, as specified in the Ottawa franchise agreement with the CFL.

baulderdash77 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Contest to name the Ottawa NASL team starts tonight. Get info here. I'm going with FC Real Inter Arsenal Football Club United. I think simply FC Real Inter Ottawa Football Club United is fine. No need to bring Arsenal into it and I like how the word Ottawa in the name helps associate it with the tradition of professional soccer in the region.

Tuscan Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Don't forget to throw "Athletic" in front of FC, which can be shortened to AFC, which makes them sound even more daunting to face. "**** guys, these guys are athletic!" "Let's get outta here!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Real Football Inter Arsenal Club United FC and Ottawa Rough Riders FC would be a good laugh at the CFL's expence but ... Make it two votes for Ottawa Intrepid and please, no angry man/animal logo, no mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alberta white Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I would go with: Ottawa Diplomats ....Which would be incredibly funny , if not 'a tad' ironic, if the lost two men to red card offences in their first game. Actually, hidden somewhere in the current Omnibus Bill going through Parliment as we write, is probably an edict that they have to be called "1812 Ottawa", because the government decrees it so.

alberta white Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 So, I have to ask, been new and all that, but what's the connection to the word intrepid? I did a quick wiki so I know it was used before. I'm just wondering as to WHY it was used? Apparently Altanta's Silverback has something to do with a large Gorilla that lived in the local zoo who was a whizz at Keepy Uppy. Rowdies are self evident, so are the Strikers; and A Railhawk, according to the Urban dictionary, is something you want to avoid on a cold dark night in Raleigh, unless your into THAT sort of thing. EDIT: After looking at the trials and tribulations associated with the Pioneer/ intrepid on the WIKI page, Perhaps Nomads or, the more commonly seen football name, WANDERERS might be historically appropriate. Notice how, after my litle swaray into political humour, I'm now been all serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved to Ottawa in May 1990 when they started their last season in the CSL, but the first one to use the name Intrepid. I asked someone who was at the games(at Landsdowne Park!) and was told that the Pioneers name belonged to the previous ownership who had gone bankrupt(or something). The team was bought by a group of people who had to rename the team. I assume they went with an "action" nickname a bit like The Fury(Winnipeg) or the Spirit (Kitchener).

I was Kinda hoping it had some connection to HMS Intrepid, abandoned in the Arctic in 1854, not hat the crew would have played the game much. It was lost only a year after the game was Co-defined. Make for a good Shirt Badge though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
