National Lacrosse League - Ottawa Rebel

Ottawa Rebel Unveils New Logo

The Ottawa Rebel of the National Lacrosse League is proud to unveil new colors and logo. The new design features the traditional Ottawa sports colors of black, red and white; replacing the old Rebel logo which featured the colors blue, white and silver.

"We think the new colors are in tune with the Ottawa sporting tradition," said Brad Watters, President of the Rebel Lacrosse Club. "All of Ottawa's sports teams -- the Senators, the Renegades, the Lynx and the 67's -- wear black, red and white. We think this change will develop a closer affinity between Ottawa sports fans and their professional lacrosse team."

"This is another step in the rebirth of our franchise," added Watters. "We have a new coach in Terry Sanderson, we will have an excellent team on the lacrosse floor, and we hope a move to a new arena will help add to our fans' experience at the games. We're excited about a great season and the future."

The Rebel, which played at the Corel Centre during its inaugural 2000-2001 season and most of the 2001-2002 campaign, will play its home games at the Civic Centre at Lansdowne Park during the 2002-2003 season. Ottawa begins its 16-game regular-season schedule of National Lacrosse League games at home on Saturday, December 28 at the Civic Centre against the Calgary Roughnecks.
