Name and Coat of Arms

[edit | edit source]

"Toronto Muddy York " is a tribute to the original name of Toronto. The team colors – navy blue and canary yellow – come from both the City of Toronto’s coat of arms and the Rugby School in Warwickshire, where the game was created in 1823. Blue symbolizes tradition, loyalty, unity, and strength; while yellow symbolizes success, athletic achievements, and joy.[4]

Muddy has held an inaugural tournament called the Dirty Rugger Tournament, which houses the Beaver Bowl cup since 2009.[5] They have played in the Bi-Yearly Bingham cup since New York in 2006 every time[6][7][8][9]
