Foam antlers are set to become part of the green and gold fan dress code, as Edmonton’s CFL team has adopted a new name: the Edmonton Elks.
The football club officially announced the Elks name during a news conference Tuesday, following a year-long consultation process involving team partners, fans and even some linguistic experts.
Team president and CEO Chris Presson said the club was proud to announce its new name and said he felt confident they had taken the time needed to ensure they “got it right.”
