ThierryH14 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Very good series with the CPL rebrand/expansion. Living in British Columbia, when it was announced that Victoria was getting a CPL club I was amazed and awestruck. I was at the branding meetings between us supporter group members, league and club owners (Josh Simpson, Rob Friend and Dean Shillington). I was at the badge launch last July and I actually love the primary badge.Tthe secondary badge (roundel with trident) is nice too and there are rumors that the club will be transitioning to the secondary badge in a few seasons (but not confirmed). I lived in St. John's for two years and have to say you caught the essence of the St. John's, NL - a true "townie' experience. Zero rumors of another Eastern Canadian club Liking both the Quebec City and Regina concepts. Alex Bunbury (ex-Canadian men's national team member and Montreal Impact player) is expected to have an announcement sometime in March 2019 that a CPL expansion club is expected to play in 2020 in either Montreal or Laval. As for a CPL club in Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Soccer has said that there are developments of a CPL club ownership group forming with a club playing in Saskatoon or Regina. Possible announcement in May 2019. I am big fan of both the FC Edmonton and Forge FC badges. So much better than the ones the clubs have now. Wish they went in this direction like you did. There are still options for a lower mainland-BC (Surrey, Langley, Chilliwack) or interior BC (Kelowna) club being formed and playing in the coming years. Trying to find a suitable playing stada and not interfere with Whitecaps sphere of influence. Also heard that a group of investors are looking at setting up a temporary stadium in Stanley Park downtown Vancouver for a Vancouver CPL club. Unknown about timelines for any other club in BC. Would be alot of fun for Pacific FC to have a derby. Keep up he great work mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'm not a big fan of the York 9 name. They went all in on 9 though: 9 lines atop the logo, 9° skew. United may be all over soccer these days, but I think it works well for a regional club. York United: https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I've never been a big fan of the Fury nickname for a city with such a rich history as Ottawa, so I've mixed it up a bit. The flame(?) from the Fury logo stays, but this logo goes for the classic look with a monogram and old style typeface.

Flames1fan Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 What about a team in moncton? Something to do with forestry , that is a big part of New Brunswick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flames1fan Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 To this, it says moncton was interested. Also listed other city who would get a club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERRIN Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 These are all really cool, especially York and Regina. Keep up the good work! (Also I'm following you on Dribbble so I was confused when I saw your logos here.)

NoE38_Concepts Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Ottawa looks great, but some river imagery would be a cherry on top, since we've got the Ottawa River as well as the Rideau Canal, which is one of the reasons Ottawa used to be known as Bytown. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the league will expand to 18 or 20. Moncton, Kelowna, Thundar Bay, Golden Horseshoe? Until then, I'm still working out some kinks with this one, specifically how to address the wordmark. I like the shape of the Wanderers crest, but wish we could've seen the kingfisher, so with that in mind: Halifax FC: https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Having the "FC" entirely on one side is a big no-go from me. Also, the break gets lost in the transition to the badge outline. The colors look very nice, however. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Based in Anchorage, Alaska FC joins the CPL as the sole representative of the United States in the league. Anchorage is represented by the anchor, while Alaska as a whole is represented by Ursa Major and the North Star.

vtgco Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Ottawa's monogram is cool; good job with that font. Halifax is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure I feel it. The beak doesn't read properly as part of the bird to me. I'd keep the Wanderers name too; it's got good history and still works with a bird theme, IMO. The orange is kinda cool, though! Alaska looks beautiful! Really well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the I in Halifax looks like it has been cut in half and now I can’t unsee it. The rest of the logo is outstanding. Good work as always!

JMtexan09 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Damn..... that Alaska FC emblem is way nicer than I'd imagine one for an Alaskan soccer team..... wow. Love it. I even love how you came up with York United idea. Nice going, dude FEAR THE FROG! LET'S GO TCU!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Anyone have team name or crest ideas for the following. I'm at a bit of a creative pause. Saskatoon Wheat? Bridges? Looney Toons? Victoria Pacific is a good name, and I like the way Vancouver Island is a part of the logo. Unsure how to improve. Winnipeg Something WWI based would work for me. I've considered using Winnie. Calgary I like their current logo quite a bit, so it's hard to move away from. Foothills and Caledonian are already in use, and are good names. Maybe promote one of those names? And for possible future teams: Kelowna Thunder Bay Moncton Mississauga https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
