If they changed it to St. Jean Baptiste Football League, we might finally get a team in Quebec City
Quebec City Borg
âResistance is futileâ LOL!
Kentucky Fried Chicken changed their name to âKFCâ because of the fried cooking process that was considered unhealthy. People still love and eat itâs product. The change helped their brand, why canât the CFL do the same thing
specially in Q
Just a joke Ro, just a joke
I just couldnt resist
Yeah RO. Itâs an inside joke among Trekkies. In Star Trek lore âQâ is an all powerful entity with God like powers that has a curiosity of humanity. A Loki/trickster quality
yeah, that too
Yep I knew when I wrote federation there was going to be Star Trek references . LOL .
It is a cool name moniker .
A football league called The federation for short and even shorter to The FED just seals the deal for me .
The branding like the word Premier for the Premier League just kicks it up a notch . People know what your talking about around the world .
Maybe instead of Dominion unless Dominion Securities sponsors it use a sponsor in the first name probably worth a few million per team .
Scotia Bank Football Federation ⊠. Royal Bank ⊠BMO ⊠TD Football Federation is my favourite of the banks .
They got the cash .
They might have changed their brand but they never changed the way they make chicken.
Keeping the Canadian in the CFL would get some eyeballs to see the curiousity of why itâs called the Canadian Football League
And the Dairy Queen became DQ,
International House of Pancakes became - IHOP
Marks & Spencer became M&S
Thatâs the trend in modern marketing, BMO, TD, Scotia etc
Maybe in Toronto the Argos could just become the Toronto Aâs
Hamilton TC, Ottawa RBs, the Als
Whatâs wrong with the CFL ??
Changing the name of the CFL doesnât change a thing
It was âPFKâ in QuĂ©bec.
Something about being called Canadian Football League, the word Canadian, might be an issue for some fans out there.
I, personally, donât have an issue with the Canadian Football League name myself.
The name might be changed, but itâs still the same game played with 3 downs with CFL rules and field dimensions.
I like it as well . Something that I feel is part of home made comfort food while everyone else eats in restaurants or prepared food .
But if the CFL could garner some stability by going with a respectable moniker that brings in a league sponsor like Toyotaâs deal in Australia I am in especially if they are looking for something that could move the sticks .
Since BILL C-10 is coming on board with streaming .
I can see the Dazn ( Amazon ) ( Netflix ) Football Federation having a certain ring to it ; if it brings some major cash for our league . Or insert Gambling site here before the moniker .
Again only if it means a bucket of cash . They do need a way to turn this league into a much more lucrative investment .
How would you expect the fans to check out the league if itâs not the CFL.
They will assume itâs NFL Lite and stay away.
The US audience is already staying away because of itâs called the CFL
Calling them by another name wonât necessarily make the US gravitate towards the CFL.
If they canât handle the name CFL then thatâs their problem.
The world does not revolve around the USA anymore.
Canadians should stand up for themselves ever so often.
in my mind, it never did
After listening to XFL podcasts the last six months, the hosts of these shows are coming around to wanting to watch the CFL even more so because of the âtalksâ. Some said that they are willing to travel to Canada to watch a live CFL game and experience the atmosphere. To them they want to watch âFootballâ.
These are young people that fit the demographic the CFL wants and needs. They are coming around. Itâs a start though. Iâm giving them props for the initiative
