Survival79 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The name Club de Foot Montréal sucks. The logo does not suck. 7 Quote "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I don't think Montreal's logo is terrible, it's just genuinely uninspiring, particularly with colors like navy, black and silver. It might be slightly more appealing if applied to a brighter color palette, or at least it would stand out more than it does. Overall, it's a good thing that teams are becoming more receptive to the feedback. It's easy to criticize teams and say they should have received more feedback during the creation of the logo so they could've avoided this, but I have to imagine it's not easy to do that adequately without the risk of it leaking to the public. But I might be giving them too much benefit of the doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweak the logo by brightening it up (silver was a better idea in theory than reality) and change out the team name wordmark around it, obviously, to Impact. It's a shame that one of the legitimately clever and original designs in MLS is being thrown out and tarred by association with everything else bad about that club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the logo is solid, maybe a little dark (lighten the blue?) but it's a fine logo. The name is not great. Even just Montreal CF is better.

TenaciousG Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 15 hours ago, MJWalker45 said: Even just replacing the CF Montreal de Foot with Montreal Impact would improve the current logo, but I think they need to go old school with a new logo. The one on the far left was their best ever logo and it sucked they didn't try something similar when they moved to MLS. The fleur de lis is just such a wonderful element. The current logo is the cleanest, but boy did they botch the identity. MLS has to learn the league doesn’t have to Euro-copy any more. Respect the nostalgia and the soccer fans who have been around since the 60s/70s. You’d think they would have learned their lesson when the Cascadia clubs got off to such a successful start using their North American identities. Instead someone seems to have though “oh well we added FC and that’s why these great soccer cities are revitalized” rather than realizing what most cities want is just top tier competition. 3 1 Quote My teamsNCAA: Washington StateMLB: Seattle MarinersNFL: Seattle SeahawksNBA: Portland TrailblazersEPL: Liverpool FCMLS: Seattle Sounders FCNHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the original logos from 1993 when they were in the APSL. They used the same logo on the left when in the A-League. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The league once again forgot to post this past weekend’s matchups, but here’s the link to this upcoming weekend’s: https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/what-your-club-is-wearing-for-mls-week-11-x1186 - Portland and Seattle are both wearing their secondaries in their respective home games. The rest of the matchups are pretty much what you’d expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loneranger158 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Some of us who track the jerseys are so annoyed about this irregular posting schedule by the league haha. At least a couple teams post a full kit schedule. 1 Quote Parsons is my dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least what they’re doing now is better than the couple of years that they just posted the kit matchups in the match previews for each game, and it was basically a coin flip on whether or not they actually remembered to post them in there haha. It’s nice that since last year they’ve posted them all together, but it would be nice if they were more consistent on their posting schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is about what you’d expect. Kinda interesting we haven’t seen any more mix-match kits. Especially when you consider that a team like Minnesota could easily pull it off (black jersey, blue shorts, black/blue socks) or Miami not mixing the pink and black together to diversify it a bit. I know we’ve talked about the monochrome thing, but with some of the kits unveiled this past year, and the schemes of last year, you could argue 7 or 8 teams could do it to bolster the match ups a bit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be curious what the motivation would be to do that, though, given that the league appears to have no policy around shorts clashes. Just a couple of teams with more engaged kit guys?
