Mingjai Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Not to open up that can of worms again, but I actually like the name "Real Montreal." Call it me, but I would prefer that a team representing an area where French is the primary language to have a name that's more in line with French naming conventions.Having a Spanish name in a French place isn't that goodWell Montreal is French for "Mt. Royal" so it wouldn't be totally out of left field."Royal Mount Royal"... What's next, Saint Paul Saints? Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it because it's a more soccer-friendly allusion to the Montreal Royals name used by the city's minor league baseball club before the Expos came to town.

IceCap Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Well there is the fact that real is the "royal" portion of Montreal. I think the use of real and royale depends on the context.

I think the use of real and royale depends on the context.Ok so according to Wikipedia (I know, I know) "real" was royal in Middle French. "Royale" is royal in modern French.

IceCap Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Royale Montreal would't be to bad though. Also, I don't buy the "we have to go with a name that's the same in English and French to appeal to everyone" story. You're already alienating Anglophones with the blue and white/FDL identity.

Sodboy13 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Looks like a traditionally-shaped shield with the "Impact" wordmark running at an upward diagonal across it.
