Titanole Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 So I assume I'm in the minority that likes this logo?Nope. I like it. Certainly an upgrade from their second division crest.

jp1409 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 It would look awesome without the goddamn gradients, the motto and with an all white "fleur de lys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp1409 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 So most if its currently distinguishing features. Check.I'm currently watching an interview with Joey Saputo on a local news channel in which he wears an Adidas tracking top with the new logo. The one we saw looks like the print version only as the one he's wearing doesn't have the motto while the colours seem to be simplified. Gotta say it looks awesome when embroidered...

Droost Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Agree - it looks much better w/o gradient and on a shirt/scarf.Crest on shirts / scarf / etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Pure class. I really like the two-toned FdL, though. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I dont think the gradients are a permanent part of the logo. Same treatment was applied to the Sporting KC logo when it was first unveiled.Told ya so! US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Kansas City, Nebraska?Columbus, Kentucky?Chicago, Indiana?Salt Lake City, Idaho?Seattle, Oregon?Someone needs to ship some Rand McNally to Montreal quickly.So, I guess the U.S. isn't the only nation whose kids don't know anything about geography.

Brian in Boston Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 It's a thoroughly mediocre logo in my opinion. It looks like it was cranked-out by a middle-school student using MS Paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchdownindia Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Those stars are going to disappear on any applications smaller than t-shirt. Although it's really great to see a logo for a Canadian team WIITHOUT THE MAPLE LEAF!!!! Thank you for that Impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I like it. It feels very Serie A or Ligue 1 to me. While the colors seemed too close to San Jose to me, having black-and-blue stripes like Inter would set Montreal apart in MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Toronto had no soccer tradition to speak of prior to Toronto FC.Toronto had franchises in the NASL many years ago.The NASL was a joke, and Toronto's tenure in the NASL is hardly something that deserves to be honoured.If there is any soccer history in Toronto to justify naming a MLS team after, it's the Toronto Linx, and let me stress the "if".

Who really gives a damn if "bleuet" hates it.....In looking at the logos attributed to Toronto as listed in the NASL § of the site:Toronto City: 1967Toronto Falcons: 1967 - 1968Toronto Metros: 1971 - 1974Toronto Metros - Croatia : 1975 - 1978Toronto Blizzard: 1979 - 1984Toronto Lynx: 1997 - 2004 (A-league)Based on the revolving door of names, it appears that FC is perfect.Montreal: At least Montreal went the somewhat traditional route.

That season was as close to the founding of the NASL in 1968 than the end in 1984. BTW, Toronto also played in the league final in the last two seasons of the NASL.

Ben7 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Apart from the black/blue stripes, the logo shape and the 4 stars (the four founding communities) I don't like Montreals MLS logo at all.I dislike two tone (logo frame, FdL).The FdL is also cut off/covered (FdL smaller, but completely visible and one tone would have been better IMO).Don't like the smallish "impact" compared to the Montreal workdmark (leaving aside the name discussion and preferences) and it bothers me that it's not centered above Montreal, but rather slipped down to the bottom left.I don't get it why they went with a french motto (not what it says/means), when they intentionally kept the bilingual team name and go to lengths to appease the founding communities with the 4 stars. If they were so intent on it, why not go with "un pour tous - all for one" or something like that for example.Hope their fans like it though, even if I don't!The video of the logo unveiling actually features an "Inter" type jersey btw.
