Stampeders to Wear Modified Alternate Jersey

October 19, 2016 - Canadian Football League (CFL)
Calgary Stampeders News Release

The Calgary Stampeders will be wearing a modified version of their black alternate jersey for the remaining home games this season. The jersey's shoulder patch, which features crossed pistols, will be covered.

"The team made the decision to cover the shoulder patch worn by the players on the field for the remainder of the 2016 season to acknowledge last month's tragic loss of Mylan Hicks," said Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel. "The Stampeders' black jersey has been very popular with many of our fans and players since we became the first CFL team to wear an alternate jersey in 1994 and it will remain an important part of our identity. Following the season, we will review all options in regards to potential changes to the design of the jersey."
