    I got called out for wearing Argo gear in Ottawa. I was at the Tanger Outlets and a guy stopped and said, "Whoah, you don't see that everyday!" I didn't know what he was talking about, and he said "An Argo fan! That's a rare sighting!". I'm pretty sure he wasn't just talking about a rare sighting in Ottawa.

    I live in BC, and get almost the exact same quote when I wear my Argo gear out here.

    I wear Argo gear - caps mostly, but tees, jersey's and a hoodie - in Ottawa all the time - have for decades. And i rarely get many comments or recognition, but the odd time. You do see tons of new RedBlacks gear sported around town here, but not that much other CFL team stuff, compared to Jays or NFL or NHL gear galore. There was some nice Argo gear on display by some fans at the last couple of Argo/RedBlacks games i attended at Lansdowne the past couple of years, but not enough IMO; go to a Leafs/Sens game in Ottawa and the crowd is half Maple Leaf blue wearing; and a Red Wings game there sees tons of Detroit gear on display.

    I did get a couple of comments on sporting Argo gear down in Florida a few years back - fellow Canadians recognizing sports gear from back home and making a friendly joke comment about it.

    All I wear now outside of work is Argo stuff. I have been doing this for over 2 years now. My wife is not loving it. Gotta support the team.
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!
