GeorgesL Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I redesigned the Montréal Royales' uniforms. Hope y'all like 'em.Special thanks to Swiss for the script! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 They're nice...good use of the Red Sox lettering (a little too similar in coloring and style to Boston's uniforms). But they don't match the lettering in the logo. Looking at the logo, I'd expect the uniforms to have more blue and gold in them. They are dominantly red. Why not use the logo's script on the uniforms? At least the home one...you could do a similar treatment for "Montreal", or go the other way and do something completely different for it.

pollux Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 That design is sweet! However, being from Montreal, I can tell you that a baseball team would never be called "Royales", because the correct translation of Royals would be "Royaux" (Royales is a feminine word)...

Dilbert Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 As an American I actually followed the CBL durring its short lived life. I also noticed on the logoserver site that there was a team that never played called the Navigators. Anyone know where this team was to play?

Nanaimo, BCThe league was originally West Canada only, then they decidided to go national and some of the names and logos went with them Abbotsford BC Saints -> Trois Rivieres PQ Saints for example.By the way, I was talking to the President of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame - who was also very involved with the CBL - he told me the league shut down due to the league owner's shady connections and they intended on starting a west Canada only league up shortly. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgesL Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 jpslapshot22: I think the Red Sox uniforms have a ton of history and charm, which is what I wanted to give the Royales. The uniform design is final, but I might change the logo, though. Even though the script has a Padres' feel to it, it looks kinda artsy-fartsy, not to mention it looks like a Negro League logo. As for the colour of the uniforms, as I recall the Royales used the exact same road unis I have designed, only 1) they used a gold and blue "M" with a crown hanging, and 2) the road script was different than the script I used. pollux: First let me just say it is great to meet someone who is from Montreal. GO ALS!!!! YEAH!!!! I totally agree on the spelling of the name "Royales". It looked great at first, but the more I think of it, it is unusual to give a team a spelling of a word like Royales. In the old days, the Jackie Robinson days, the team was called the Royals, as you notice the spelling is in English. However, whoever owned the Montreal CBL team chose to go in a different direction, had the right idea, but obviously doesn't understand French like you and me. (BTW in France they call the McDonald's quarter-pounder with cheese a royale with cheese (royale avec fromage). Go figure.)swiss: Couldn't have done this without your help.

LMU Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I like the Sox script more. Keep the uniforms the same, and change the logo. Then they would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
