Canadian Football League West Division.... The West Division is one of the two regional divisions of the Canadian Football League. Although the CLF was not founded until 1958, the West Division and its clubs are descended from earlier leagues.... Pre-1936. The first organized football club in Western Canada was the Winnipeg Rugby Football Club, later the Winnipeg Football Club, a forerunner of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers which as founded in 1879.... The three provincial unions then in existence soon set out to create a unified Western Canadian competition, with the view that the Western champion should be able to challenge for the Canadian Rugby Union's new championship trophy, the Grey Cup. To this end, the Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta unions formed the Western Canada Rugby Football Union [WCRFU] in 1911.... In 1936, the Western Interprovincial Football Union [WIFU] was formed, succeeding the WCRFU as the West's premier football competition.... The WIFU was re-named the Western Football Conference [WFC] in 1961 and agreed to a partial interlocking schedule with what was by then known as the Eastern Football Conference the same year.... West Division(1980-1994, 1996-present) In 1980, the CFL' s two conferences agreed to a full merger and a full interlocking schedule. 2, record 14, English, - Western%20Football%20Conference

Mirrored Lenses-FL(Flash) : A coloured coating applied to the outside of the lens. The coating can be applied over any base colour lens, i. e. vermillon, amber, grey. Due to their reflective properties, any mirrored lens will appear darker since it will reflect a certain amount of light trying to reach the eye. A mirrored lens will also add an extra buffer against glare. Mirrored or "Flash" lenses are available in a variety of different colours. Unless otherwise marked, these lenses use Vermillon as a base colour. The following colours are available as a Flash coating : Gold Flash, Amber Flash, Bollé 100 Flash; Blue Flash; Silver Flash; Green Flash; Gun Flash. 1, record 19, English, - flash%20lenses

Les verres photochromiques (qui foncent lorsque la lumière augmente et inversement) existent également dans différentes couleurs (brun, gris, vert). Les verres «miroirs» qui peuvent être bleutés, argentés ou dorés, permettent de lutter contre la réverbération.
