LMU Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 As much as the European identity styles are panned, this is an absolutely massive upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve61 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Love the new logo but was there not one person in the committee room that could have pointed out the English meaning of clubfoot. Embarrassing name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1409 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Foot for soccer doesn't make sense in Quebec, French people here don't use it at all and it's way too "France French" for English people. The fact that they took off the "é" in Montreal is pissing off a lot of folks too. 98% of the comments seem really negatives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoE38_Concepts Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The logo itself it a massive upgrade, but yeah. nobody calls soccer "foot" in Quebec. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnPheitseog Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Yeah, chalk it up between myself as a France French speaker and the differences between that and Québec french and it really annoys me. Especially the CF part. Am I shocked? No, but it's still annoying. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo without a double dose of Club de Foot Montreal would be alright. What's the point? The reflection of the name in the river? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Quote The club's new colors are Impact Black, deeper and richer, Ice Gray, which represents the ice flowing in all Montrealers' veins, and Sacré Bleu, a darker and more pronounced shade than its predecessor.

BC985 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It is a great logo, for an outdoor winter sports brand. While they needed a badge refresh, this was woefully overthought and missed the mark. A badge with roots in the Quebec flag would have been a better direction.

Under the lights where we stand tall Nobody touches us at all Showdown, shootout Spread fear within, without I say we're gonna take what's ours to have Spread the word throughout the land They say the bad guys wear black We're tagged and can't turn back You see us coming and you all together run for cover We're taking over this town Here we come, reach for your gun And you better listen well, my friend You see, it's been slow down below Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from Montréal "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

It's been said many time that it looks like a ski club logo or something. Definitely looks like it or a winter festival one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It's aesthetically better than last year's Fire logo, but that's if you're looking it in a vacuum. I'd rather have clubbed foot snowflake on my hat than the Fire crown. However, the Fire crown at least understands it's engaged in a sporting activity. This new Montreal identity looks more like a new seasonal line at Roots. What does any of the new logo have to do with soccer? I'm generally okay with out-there ideas -- see my continued appreciation for the new Rams -- but this just feels silly. Like, if you don't want to do sports branding, don't do it! 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't even make sense in France French -- I can't think of a single team called "Club de Foot" anywhere. Even those teams use FC, or something like AS, or just don't use that construction at all (like the Olympiques and maybe even PSG?). They screwed this up linguistically in two different ways! The logical endpoint of MLS's Epcotization of the game. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
