Redblacks Alternate Logo

The Ottawa Redblacks have a long and storied history in the Canadian Football League (CFL). From their inaugural season in 2014 to today, they’ve had some memorable moments on the field. But there is also another part of their history that often goes overlooked – their alternate logo.

The first alternate logo for the Redblacks was introduced during the team’s inaugural season in 2014. It featured an image of a red-haired woman wearing an old-style football helmet with “Redskins” written across it, along with two crossed tomahawks below her head and three feathers behind her ear, which eventually led to the creation of the Ottawa Redblacks Wordmark logo. The design was meant to be symbolic of both Canada's First Nations peoples as well as its colonial past, which has been seen by many as controversial given its close association with Native American imagery and stereotypes associated with them at one point or another throughout history.

In 2016, following pressure from fans who found this original design offensive due to its racial connotations, Ottawa decided to change up its look slightly by introducing a new version called "Spirit Logo". This version still contained elements from the original such as two crossed tomahawks but replaced most other aspects including "Redskins" text and feather accents for more abstract shapes like circles & arrows instead - better representing Indigenous culture without being linked directly to any particular tribe or nation specifically. Additionally, this spirited logo also included four colors - black, white, grey & red - alluding further towards unity between different cultures within Canada rather than just focusing solely on one group alone.

By 2018 however, things changed yet again when Ottawa released what would become known officially known simply 'the O.' This time around it featured only one color (black) alongside lettering spelling out 'Ottawa' above & below an illustration depicting traditional Aboriginal artistry featuring various animals natively found within the Ontario region itself; making sure not only everyone know exactly where these designs were coming from but that they were respectful enough so no single group felt excluded either way either!

Today we see even more variations come into play every now and then – such as special edition uniforms worn during key games against rivals like Toronto Argonauts or Montreal Alouettes, etc. All these logos serve a purpose though: connecting people together through a shared love of football while simultaneously celebrating the unique cultural heritage each city/region holds dear!
