@3DownNation on San Antonio Texans at #42: "Teal was an odd choice for team, considering the colour has nothing to do with cowboys or Texas." https://3downnation.com/2024/12/27/ranking-every-primary-cfl-logo-ever-50-31/
Counterpoint: In the 1990s, 11 of 22 new/renamed Big 4 league teams used teal and/or purple. #CFL was relevant! 🩵

"Sorry, I can't play. My brothers won't let me" - Larry Benson backing out of his commitment to field the #SanAntonioTexans in 1993.
Benson had owned the #WLAF's #SanAntonioRiders from 1991-2. However, his brother Tom had purchased the #NFL's #NewOrleansSaints in 1985 - and there was some family friction around Larry owning a CFL team.

During a 1995 CFL broadcast the TSN team attempted to explain the Memphis Mad Dogs' non-regulation field configuration, including the truncated end zone corners and the combination of grass & artificial turf.

November 5, 1994. In a matchup of American #CFL teams, the #SacramentoGoldMiners shut-out the #BaltimoreCFLColts, 18-0.
Later that season, Baltimore advanced to the #GreyCup, falling to the #BCLions
Don't see that happening to the #EdmontonElks given their current trajectory. #CFLUSA
