There\u2019s a storm brewing on the Canadian prairies, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders<\/a> want their opponents to take cover.<\/p>\n

The Canadian Football League<\/a> team unveiled their new \u201cPrairie Blizzard\u201d alternate uniforms on their website and social media channels on Tuesday, June 23, and they\u2019ll wear them when they host the Toronto Argonauts<\/a> at Mosaic Stadium in Regina on Friday, June 26.<\/p>\n

The Riders are touting these as a \u201cspecial one-time look\u201d that will only be worn in Friday\u2019s game, which is technically an Argonauts home game, but they\u2019ve been displaced from BMO Field for the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a>. \u201cCreated exclusively for this unique matchup, the Prairie Blizzard uniform reimagines the Roughriders\u2019 traditional road look with\u00a0a look that puts a special emphasis on the\u00a0white\u00a0of the green and white,\u201d the team said on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The base of the jersey is \u2014 predictably, given the moniker \u2014 white, with the same green side and sleeve panels and the same \u201cSASKATCHEWAN\u201d chest wordmark as their regular road uniforms The numbers on the front and back, though, have been switched up to white with green outlines, and a special version of the Riders\u2019 logo rendered in only green and white appears on each sleeve.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we found out that we would be hosting a Toronto home game at Mosaic Stadium and therefore wearing white at home, we\u00a0worked quickly with our partners at New Era\u00a0to create something special for fans. The inspiration behind the design was to create a fresh white version of the Club\u2019s iconic logo, eliminating the black entirely to place the full emphasis on the Roughriders\u2019 core\u00a0colours.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The recoloured logo also sits on the right hip of the Riders\u2019 usual white home pants and on both sides of the green helmet shell. The pants have a green stripe down each side, with the stripe on the left side interrupted by five diagonal white lines \u2014 one for each of the team\u2019s Grey Cup<\/a> championships.<\/p>\n

The launch of the Prairie Blizzard set makes the Riders the third CFL team to unveil a predominantly white uniform this month. The BC Lions<\/a> rolled out their new \u201cPacific Frost\u201d away uniforms<\/a> on June 3, while the Ottawa RedBlacks<\/a> debuted new white road jerseys and pants<\/a> to match their black home set on June 15. The Calgary Stampeders<\/a> also introduced a mostly white road uniform<\/a> when they launched their new uniforms in late April.<\/p>\n

Fans at Mosaic Stadium on Friday will have the chance to win a game-worn Prairie Blizzard uniform right off a player\u2019s back after the game. A limited run of 500 retail jerseys will be available to purchase, crested with the number 13 and \u201cRIDER NATION\u201d on the back. Prairie Blizzard-inspired merchandise is now available through the Riders\u2019 online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n
