CFL.ca
TORONTO – During Grey Cup week the Canadian Football League launched a bold new brand campaign that includes a new logo, a new “What We’re Made Of” slogan, and a new signature video that showcases today’s players.
“We have world class athletes doing amazing things. Our games are fun and social – the place to be on many nights,” said CFL Commissioner Jeffrey L. Orridge as he delivered his State of the League address to a gathering of Media in Winnipeg. “And we play in new and newly renovated venues. The time has come to update and transform how we present ourselves.
“Our great fans will be the first to tell you: we need more fans. And in particular, we need to attract the next generation of fans, so this league is strong for years to come.”
Orridge, who assumed his duties as Commissioner last April 29, said this new approach puts the spotlight on what is true and best about the CFL today.
“It respects the past but really invites in our fans of the future,” he said.
Now comes a new version of CFL.ca and the CFL Network of websites.
