And there you go: I now have a jersey from every CFL team. Considering that I've never bought an NFL or MLB jersey (I own jerseys that I cherish, but I didn't buy them myself - although I have bought two Vermont Lake Monsters jerseys, which further makes my point). My final birthday gift arrived the other day, an utterly sweet Ottawa Redblacks jersey.
My cousin Nick thought this was a great jersey, which, well, it is. The Redblacks have been pretty dreadful the last couple years, but they just poached the Toronto Argonauts head coach, so better days may be on the horizon. Almost certainly, there will be an Ottawa game this summer. My friend Craig is very interested in an Ottawa trip, and the Redblacks is the only CFL stadium that I've visited that my friend Kevin has not seen, so his attendance is necessary.
This is the jersey of CFL great Henry Burris, who played for the Redblacks late in his career and helped orchestrate a Grey Cup upset.
