Week 10 in the #cfl was a strong one for the American expansion teams in 1995.

Congrats to the Birmingham Barracudas, Baltimore Stallions, Memphis Mad Dogs, & San Antonio Texans! 🎉

Only the Shreveport Pirates didn’t record a win. 😥

Additionally, since the Texans were the relocated Sacramento Gold Miners (formerly the WLAF Sacramento Surge), both of which featured teal in their branding, this color selection wasn't an odd choice.

@3DownNation on San Antonio Texans at #42: "Teal was an odd choice for team, considering the colour has nothing to do with cowboys or Texas." https://3downnation.com/2024/12/27/ranking-every-primary-cfl-logo-ever-50-31/

@3DownNation ranked the Las Vegas Posse #cfl logo at #47: "Looks like it should have belonged to local law enforcement instead of a listless football team that practiced in a parking lot." […]

@3DownNation slotted the Sacramento Gold Miners at #63: "The Gold Miners had one of the boldest colour schemes we’ve ever seen in the CFL, but their primary logo was just kind of bland." https://3downnation.com/2024/12/26/ranking-every-primary-cfl-logo-ever-70-51/ […]

"CFL Live on TSN, brought to you by Pepsi. Nothing else is a Pepsi!"

Fun Fact: Pepsi introduced this slogan in 1995, replacing 1993's 'Be Young, Have Fun, Drink Pepsi.' Swapped for 'Drink Pepsi. Get Stuff' in 1996.
