The MLS Impact jersey presentation: dec 1st

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..

I would support Montreal putting the Canadian flag on one sleeve and the Quebec flag under the color on the back of the jersey.

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.

Canada does these things well. The Jets uniforms' unveiling were handled very well, too.

Except for, you know, the actual uniforms.

Go easy on him. He's gonna act the same way when the Blues move to Quebec, so we might as well get used to it now.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.
