The CFL considers all clubs which have played in Montréal as one in their league records, including those of the Montréal Concordes and the Baltimore Stallions, which relocated to become the current Alouettes club in 1996.
The original Alouettes franchise folded after the 1981 CFL season, but were immediately replaced by a new club for 1982, the Montréal Concordes, owned by Canadian mogul Charles Bronfman, who also was the founder of the Montréal Expos baseball team.
