The Design Heritage
Ottawa gridiron tradition runs deep, stretching back through over a century of Canadian football evolution from the historic Rough Riders to modern RNation. When the Redblacks secured the 104th Grey Cup in a memorable 39-33 overtime thriller in 2016, they solidified a new era of football dominance at Lansdowne Park. This piece honors that legacy by pairing vintage collegiate aesthetics with the bold red and black colorway iconic to Ottawa sports history.
Wearing stadium gear serves as an emotional bridge between fan and franchise. Designed with a structured, ribbed texture and traditional elbow patching, this sweater provides warmth during late-season November CFL action while remaining suitable for corporate Friday environments or weekend gatherings. The tactile depth of the ribbed knit offers structured drape without adding bulk under winter outerwear.
Care and Maintenance
To preserve the shape and high-density texture of the 350 GSM fabric, wash this sweater inside out on a cold, delicate cycle using a mild liquid detergent. Fasten the brass quarter-zip prior to laundering to eliminate friction against surrounding fibers. Avoid chlorine bleaches or heavy fabric softeners, as these break down the structural resilience of the ribbed cotton matrix.
Air drying flat on a clean towel maintains the original garment proportions and prevents stretch distorting the shoulder lines or waist hem. Do not tumble dry, as high warmth damages the synthetic suede elbow patches. For fit guidance, order your typical men's chest measurement; the tailored cut allows comfortable layering over a button-up shirt or base t-shirt.

How does the sizing run for this men's quarter zip?
This item features a classic men's athletic tailored fit. It runs true to size with adequate room through the chest and shoulders to accommodate a lightweight collared shirt or base layer underneath.
Are the elbow patches functional or purely decorative?
The faux-suede elbow patches serve both aesthetic and structural functions. They provide classic retro styling while reinforcing high-friction wear areas to prevent thinning over extended use.
