Ottawa’s latest pro baseball team is using an iconic piece of the city’s skyline as a key part of its logo design.
The Ottawa Champions, who will begin play in the Can-Am League next year, unveiled the design at Ottawa Stadium on Thursday.
The logo has a red, white and blue colour scheme, but gets much more Canadian after that, with a maple leaf and the Peace Tower incorporated in the design.

Mr. Gourlay also announced the launch of a new website with ticket information for the 2015 season. He also said the team will bid for the Can-Am all-star game in 2017, the year Canada celebrates its 150th birthday.

This is the second go-around for an Ottawa franchise in the Can-Am league. The Ottawa Rapidz competed in 2008, but didn’t come back for a second season.
