HALIFAX — It doesn’t exist yet, but the Atlantic Schooners Football Club — Halifax’s proposed CFL team — is already selling swag. The clothing is made in Atlantic Canada by the Truro, N.S.-based Stanfield’s Ltd.Last month, Atlantic Schooners founding partner Anthony LeBlanc said more than 6,000 season-ticket applications had been sold, and that plans for a stadium would soon be unveiled. Hand says the group is in the process of submitting a business analysis to the Halifax Regional Municipality. “There is no firm date for a release of stadium plans, but Schooners Sports and Entertainment, along with key stakeholders, will be engaging the community this month (mid-January) as it pertains to the proposed stadium and next steps,” she said in an email. LeBlanc has said the Toronto Argonauts will face the Montreal Alouettes on Aug. 25, possibly at a temporarily expanded stadium in Halifax, in Moncton, N.B., or at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S.
