They’re trying to maintain the momentum from last Sunday’s victorious Eastern Division Final at Tim Hortons Field where more than 25,000 fans — a record-breaking attendance for the team — dressed in black.
“Let’s keep the Blackout energy rolling! Whether you’re at school, work, or out and about around town; wear black!” the release says.
The Ticats confirmed that they will be wearing black uniforms on Sunday against the Winnipeg Bluebombers.
Fans are asked to tweet pictures at @Ticats using the hashtag #GreyCupBlackout. And the team promises to retweet some of their favourites.
