1969 CFL season

Canadian Football League season August 2024 August 2024 1969 CFL season East Ottawa Rough Riders West Saskatchewan Roughriders 57th Grey Cup Ottawa Rough Riders 1968 1970 List of Canadian Football League seasons CFL The 1969 CFL season is considered to be the 16th season in modern-day Canadian football, although it was officially the 12th Canadian Football League season. CFL news in 1969 Home teams started wearing their coloured (dark) jerseys. The 1969 Grey Cup game started play on a Sunday for the first time in CFL history; all Grey Cup games since (except for 1970) have been played on a Sunday. (The CFL did play a Grey Cup game on Sunday before, in 1962, when the original Saturday Grey Cup game was delayed due to heavy fog that caused the final 9 minutes and 28 seconds to be played the following day.) The Grey Cup was held in Montreal, Quebec for the first time since 1931. A new logo was introduced to the league on November 26, four days before that year's Grey Cup game: A white helmet with a one-bar face mask with a maple leaf in the centre and the word CFL in white in the maple leaf. It replaced the leaf/football/ribbon logo used since the league's formation in 1958, and would be used until 2002. Records: The Rough Riders' Margene Adkins set the record for average gain per pass in a season with 25.0 yards. The record stood for 28 years, until Milt Stegall broke it.
