GeorgesL Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Most of you have seen both my Montreal Royales' concepts, most of you haven't. And made helpful comments as well. I put up a red colour concept months ago, plus I made some alterations during that time, and I have recently put up a blue one. But both of the concepts I've done are so awesome, I can't decide which is the best one. Anyway, here are the 2 concepts posted below, click on the link, and vote for the one you like:Royales' blue conceptThis one is from the old Brooklyn Dodgers' farm days, taken into the 21st century. I used the Expos' old road script, but I was too lazy to do the home script by hand, so I used the script that was on the logo.Royales' red conceptEven though the blue colour is synonymous to the Montreal Royals' history, I just couldn't resist using the red colour, and the Red Sox script. I ditched the Padres-like script from the logo, and replaced it with the Red Sox font.Votes and C & C are well appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbman21 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I voted for the blue,mainly I think because of the old 'Montreal' road script.I also like the 'Royales' home script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 While we're on the subject of the Royales, Omar Minaya wore a Royales cap to the Nats-Mets game the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 While we're on the subject of the Royales, Omar Minaya wore a Royales cap to the Nats-Mets game the other day. Yeah, I noticed that, maybe he's missin' Montreal. I thought that was a Mets alternate at first. You know, another freaking Mets cap that isn't an orange NY on royal blue. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Looks like Mr. Minaya is supporting the blue. Now that's campaigning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Omar Minaya: he will not rest until the Mets are fielding 25 players from the Caribbean ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 seeing that i hate the dodgers, and the blue concept looks sickeningly like the Dodgers, i have to say i like the red one On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

NJTank Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Blue is the best it was blue and white like the original Royales of Jackie Robinson which is what makes it in my book. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonniar .rm Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 The old minor league team Jackie Robinson played for was the Royals, a name which is the same in both French and English.The failed CBL team that never played a game in MTL was the Royales, the feminine version of Royals - which made little sense in French. It is highly doubtful that any serious team would adopt the feminine name. If MTL ever gets a new team and decided to use the famous old name they surely would not repeat the CBL's linguistic blunder and go with Royals. ps. I think the Blue is much better.

wheateater Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I like the blue, but only because it's patterned after the Dodgers....and I'm biased....(see the very bottom of my sig )||||v Wagner Athletic Group11-2 Saskatoon Steeds (WAFL)-NFL-2014 Western Conference Champions / 8-5 Calgary Pronghorns (TNFF)-CFL-2014 Confederation Cup XI Champions14-6-2 Saskatoon Yellowheads (XHL)-NHL-1st, Gretzky Conference / 5-4-0 Saskatoon Czars (MLH)-AHL-T2nd, Calder Conference7-1-6 VfL Dortmund (Weltliga)-Bundesliga-3rd, League / 5-1-5 West End AFC (WFL)-EPL-T5th, League14-7 Saskatoon Sheiks (AA)-MLB-2014 Founder's Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 To me, this is still too close to call, but seems to me history favours blue. I must admit it just screams out tradition, when you think about it. (All the more reaso to do a Royals blue script.)Any more C & C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 Here's the red in action. (Without the Red Sox font)They look kinda like the '94 Rangers.Any more thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 First let me apologize to anyone who was offended by my rants about the hockey concepts. And I didn't know he's only 15. I've sold uniforms to high schools, colleges and pro teams in the Rochester area since 1967. I've outfitted the Amerks. So I've seen a lot of uniform trends in 38 years. And I think I know what I'm talking about when it comes to uniform design. So consider me an "old school" guy who is stuck in the past. All of you people out there are very talented and creative. Let's pretend this never happened and start fresh. Also, my remark about the Habs is something I've heard them called for years. It was a poor choice of words on my part.As for the ROYALS concept I definitely like the blue combo, akin to the Dodgers. Maybe Montreal can get the Ottawa Lynx to move there. Does Mtl. have a AAA-size ball park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
