Here's the page of the clips with the Stamps in them:

Based purely on memory, so not sure if true but....
In the early 90's, the World League of American Football, they had a handful of teams from North America that included the San Antonio Riders. It only lasted 1 or 2 years before it eventually became an all europe league.
Within a year or so, when San Antonio first got their CFL expansion team the initial thought was that they would wear similar colours and have the same name until they were quickly informed that "dude, they already have 2 teams called the riders, you cant be the third". So they changed it to Texans.
I think I may have been the only person in North America who actually enjoyed watching that league.
