Stamps to wear home reds for Grey Cup

- TODD SAELHOF tsaelhof @postmedia.com

Both Grey Cup finalists sport the same colour scheme in their uniforms.

Red, white and black make up their costume.

But it’ll be the Calgary Stampeders in their traditiona­l red jerseys — with red helmets and black pants — on Sunday at Edmonton’s Commonweal­th Stadium (4 p.m., TSN/770 CHQR).

“Yeah, man … we get to wear our home jerseys,” Stampeders quarterbac­k Bo Levi Mitchell said. “That’s good. The last time we wore our home jerseys in the Grey Cup, we won it.”

That was back in 2014 at BC Place in a 20-16 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

And just as it was back in that championsh­ip season, the reds come out for the Stampeders because they are considered the home team as the CFL’s West Division representa­tive at a venue hosted in a West Division city.

The Redblacks then will wear their away whites.
