The team said it is celebrating Indigenous languages and incorporating them as part of answering the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, specifically 14i.
“The Roughriders’ commitment to Truth and Reconciliation doesn’t just start and end this week. We will continuously work to do better and use our platform to make an impact and focus on amplifying Indigenous voices,” Saskatchewan Roughriders President and CEO Craig Reynolds said in a statement.
The Roughriders said sideline staff will also wear orange shirts.
The jerseys will then be included in a raffle that will help fund Indigenous sports programs, according to the team.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m.
