“ Is this a politically correct team name? And Edmonton actually is not so far up in the North. You would not call people in northern part of Germany Es***os, for example. ” -Duke

“ Awesome card. A little haevy on the bottom with the red, but overall a fantastic card. ” -parsley24

“ the duplication of the comment on the back - English / French - is interesting. didn't realize that the Canadian language laws extended to sports cards ” -abide

“ A nice old-fashioned card . . . Love cards from that era; they always look a bit "primitive" compared to today's . . . They have character and seem much more appealing than current cards . . . ” -georgecf

“ nice looking base design, cartoons on the back are always a plus for me, eskimos logo simple but gets the job done ” -Thunderfoot

“ I like this card. It reminds me of the 1971 Topps NFL issue. The card can use stats on the back. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ Wonderful! Go Eskimos! ” -cjjt

“ CFL! Very cool. ” -crushnmove

“ Way too much red in the lower left, and the font is very 1970s. But that doesn't eliminate the "cool" factor for me. Interestingly it does remind me of cards from my youth, but not Topps....Wonder Bread. ” -kents_stuff

“ This card is everything that any card in the history of cards should strive to be. The back should be in the trading card HOF. ” -UKboogie

@Duke - Nothing wrong with calling a team by the name 'Eskimo'. Eskimo means eater of raw meat. If you eat raw meat then you are an eskimo. If you don't eat raw meat your are not an eskimo. Simple as that.

They are in the process of changing the name actually, so they are no longer known as the Eskimos. They are keeping the logo and looking for another nickname that starts with E.
