mcrosby Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've been on a semi-hiatus due to school lately. Last semester and all! I actually considered changing Toronto FC to Toronto Metros FC, and adding some Croatian checkers to the logo/kit to honor the past. I'm still tempted, but I feel like TFC is a very popular name, and changing that might come to some anger of TFC fans. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Sorry there haven't been updates lately-the semester is coming to an end and thus so is my free time. Until I can update with some more kits-and possibly a few additions to the league-I'll just be looking for more C&C and some suggestions for what you'd like to see with the remaining teams. Thanks! https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still tempted, but I feel like TFC is a very popular name, and changing that might come to some anger of TFC fans.While I'm not crazy about copycat Euro-brands, TFC does like a natural. However, this being North America, sports teams from the high-school level to the pros have official team names. When I suggested a return to the Blizzard name, I also included "FC". In other words, Toronto Blizzard FC. Even Toronto Metros FC sounds great. TFC fans should take note that while their team has yet to make an MLS playoff appearance after 5 years and are currently 0-7-0, the Metros-Croatia won Soccer Bowl '76, the first major soccer championship for a Canadian-based team. The Blizzard(same franchise) were Soccer Bowl finalists in the NASL's last two seasons before moving on to the Canadian Soccer League. And their primary colour was red. Vancouver has the Whitecaps, Montreal has the Impact, and Toronto should have the Metros or Blizzard. The unofficial "Reds" name belongs to Liverpool.

Blizzards is a significant name, historically of course, but I feel the name Metros suits a big city like Toronto better.Either way, tapping into the history of Toronto Soccer is a great idea. I wish TFC would do that.

mcrosby Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just the start: I wanted to stick with the City Hall, and use the shape of it to represent the Toronto flag, instead of using it as an M as previously done by the Toronto Metros. I've been at a standstill at this point so I'm looking for ideas. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish TFC would do that.And I'm on board with you as well. I would go with Toronto Metros FC first and then Toronto Blizzard FC second. The Metros-Croatia was a merger between two clubs and I, too, don't like it when a club caters to one group or demographic. Like Vancouver, Toronto is very multicultural and an official team name will do wonders for Toronto's soccer fan base. Just as long as the primary colour is red. For example, if TFC were renamed the Blizzard, the club's supporters groups can still refer to the team as the "Reds", just like the Maple Leafs are the "Buds" and the Montreal Canadiens are the "Habs".

Ben7 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Whether it's gonna be 2020 or 2030/2040 doesn't matter, your work is cool!There are so many fantastic logo upgrades in your overall concepts. I especially like those were you "fused" together the current club logos with the respective MLS All Star Logos from that city. They now have fantastic local nods, which as you have shown, can beautifully integrated into current logos.Looking forward to further designs of this concept series.

mcrosby Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Tis true. capcanuck will be handling the jerseys and I the logos. This is due in part to time constraints on my end and also because I love his jersey renderings. Our combined talents and creative ideas should really get some creative kits for you guys to see. We'll be starting a new thread so keep your eyes open. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Something I just noticed on the front page: shouldn't Ft. Lauderdale be marked as an expansion team? Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Something I just noticed on the front page: shouldn't Ft. Lauderdale be marked as an expansion team?Yes, it should be. Just an error on my part. Also, Cal FC...maybe. For now let's focus on the 28 at hand. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalcanuck Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Question:After that game, does your plan involve promoting Cal FC to MLS?I agree with mcrosby on this one its possible. I do have a plan that would work for them as a fauxback but other than that no Five-lights.blogspot.com - my Motorsports Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoriaGooner Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This is an amazing thread. I just came across it and have to say it's bang on. Beautifully rendered crests and some nice kits too. Though I'm not a fan of the TFC kits. Looking forward to the rest of this thread series....Hopefully it doesn't fade away.
