bleuet Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Also, do you think that they will make an exception to the rule that every MLS club wears the flag of their country on the sleeve? From the teaser website you can see that there is a fleur-de-lys embroidered somewhere on the jersey. I wouldn't be surprised to NOT see a Canadian flag on their jersey when it's unveiled.I don't think so. The remark was interesting though.I am getting post from somebody on the Impact facebook that there won't be blue and black stripes. Intriguing..

steve61 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Stars in soccer are and should only be used to mark championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Aren't stars to mark championships traditionally put over (or on the outside) of the badge, not in the badge logo itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yes, they are. No problems with either the US MNT or Impact using them. And even though we hashed this out when the crest was unveiled, I think it's fantastic. Archer was an inspired choice. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

kw11333 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 If one team was to put their provincial/state flag on their arms, it would be Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I would support Montreal putting the Canadian flag on one sleeve and the Quebec flag under the color on the back of the jersey.

murtaugh Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 The fact that they put 4 stars on their logo is beyond belief. Stars in soccer are and should only be used to mark championships. NO GRAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffrey Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I see your point when you post soccer logos with stars in them. If we dig a bit more we could find a few more, but the vast majority of soccer logos don't have stars on them if it's not remotely related with their national or cultural identity like Turkey, Latvia or in that case the US. Take the Italian national logo or the Brazilian one, those stars are definitely for championships. My point was that in the case of Montreal, using stars to refer to 'founding people' that are elsewhere never symbolized by stars, is preposterous. The elements of the logo should be instantly recognizable, like for instance the Philadelphia Union logo. 13 stars, you know that they are referring to the 13 founding colonies. FC Dallas, the lone star state. Even the LA Galaxy has a stylized star that hints at outer space.Montreal has a rich soccer past that is not reflected in their logo. It looks nice, but it isn't rooted in anything. The motto comes out of nowhere and the stars look out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleuet Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 I just realized that in fact, the Impact FC does have 4 championships in the A league and NASL.Its not an official release by the club, a coincidence or was it deliberate? We will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
