With less than a month to the return of the city of Ottawa to the Canadian Football League (CFL) Canada Post issued two new stamps on Thursday (June 19) honouring the team’s past and its future.
Canadian-born quarterback and legendary Ottawa Rough Rider Russ Jackson is featured on one stamp against the background of Ottawa’s new stadium.
The second stamp features the REDBLACKS logo – a saw blade-notched “R” in front of a circular saw that represents Ottawa’s early lumber heritage.
“We are proud to play a part in Ottawa’s return to the CFL and complete the special issues by representing all nine cities and teams,” said Deepak Chopra, President and CEO of Canada Post, in a statement.
The two stamps were designed by Bensimon Byrne, the official advertising agency for the CFL.
