Saskatchewan Roughrider quarterback Darian Durant shows off the old-style football jerseys. (CBC)The Saskatchewan Roughrider Football club will perform a wardrobe change during one of its games this season when player swap their traditional green and white jerseys for uniforms in red and black.
The colour and style of the uniform harken back to the earliest days of the football club, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in this year.
The old-style jerseys will be worn by the team during a match, at home, against the Edmonton Eskimos on July 17.
The club is also selling a limited number, 2,010, to fans.
The uniforms, which were showcased at a Regina shopping centre Tuesday, were already attracting attention.
"I'm sure one will end up in our closet at some point," Laurie Fisher said. "We'll probably rush over to the Rider store after and check things out there."
One of the players showing off the clothes was quarterback Darian Durant. He said players will still wear something green while they're on the field.
"You have to have on something that reminds you of where you're at," Durant said. "So I think we'll definitely have on something green ... a wrist-band or something. It'll be green somewhere, you can believe that."
The Roughriders were traditionally in red and black from shortly after their inception until the 1940s.
