In Popular Culture
The red serge is almost always used in depictions of Mounties in popular culture, such as Dudley Do-Right.
During his stint in the World Wrestling Federation, Jacques Rougeau wore a red serge outfit to play his character of "The Mountie"; however due to protests by the RCMP, the WWF mentioned repeatedly during his match that he was not a "true representative of the Mounties." Eventually litigation prevented Rougeau from appearing in Canada as The Mountie.
