TORONTO (June 27, 2019) – Canadian Football League (CFL) and the international sports and lifestyle brand, New Era, unveiled today that for Week 3, each team playing will celebrate Canada’s holiday by wearing red and white sideline apparel for the games.
“Canada Day has always been a special date on the CFL calendar and this year we extend it for all of Week 3,” said Randy Ambrosie, CFL Commissioner. “Canadians coast-to-coast-to-coast will be proud to see our teams dressed in red and white to coincide with Canada’s 152nd year of confederation.”
