The Montreal Alouettes and the eight other Canadian Football League teams are marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with fundraising efforts and Indigenous-designed logos for games this week.
The Alouettes, who participated in a flag football activity with local youth in Kahnawake on Monday, will sport special orange jerseys during warm-up before their game Saturday at Toronto, and during the game will wear helmets featuring a logo designed by Kahnawake artist Finnley Montour.
The design transforms the Alouettes’ logo into a dreamcatcher with a 12-pointed star in the middle to represent the 12 players on the field, and three features representing the Mohawk headdress.
The Canadian Football League continues its ongoing commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.
