OT: Montreal Impact Thread: 2021 2012 1992 Edition

[Skip Bayless]

Not gonna lie though, the merch is way better than the old impact merch

 

[beowulf]

So the Impact name is gone and this weird logo and simply Montreal Football team is how they will be referred to? Dumb and ugly.

 

[ArtPeur]

The title needs to be changed now. Who's the Impact?

 

[ArtPeur]

How do snowflakes fare in the summer, when they play?

We're going to add another logo, a single raindrop that can also be interpreted as sweat: because we work hard to win games.

 

[Olfer]

The logo is too cluttered and the colors are too faded. Look how it just disappears.

 

[Phil Parent]

I know it's probably impossible, but every team in Montreal should just call themselves the Canadiens and take the colors and jersey.

Esti de calisse

 

[Adam Michaels]

So we go from IMFC to CFMTL as it is the hashtag the team is using on their official Twitter account.

Yeah I wasn’t a fan of the old logo personally. New one is fine. My issue is Club de Foot. Montreal is in Quebec, not France. No one refers it to “le foot” here other than possibly immigrants.

 

[MarkJ]

The people coming up with that logo idea got PAID?

I think eurosnobs are the target population with this new brand. Personally, I like CF Montréal, but I don't like Club de Foot because it makes me think of France. We are not France.

damn dude

and like a drop of water is also just one part of a bigger thing, so every player is like a drop and the bucket of water is like the team and also a drop of water is kinda round like a ball and we score with a ball, as a team

A lot of people in Montréal refer to it as Foot. And they're catering to those people, obviously. They're not trying to attract the Québécois de souche from Boucherville. It's not a bad move because a lot of immigrant kids are already soccer fans. But convincing them to cheer for the local team is not an easy task.

Québécois born in Montréal now speak like French people from the banlieue, so yes, I hear that a lot now.

I should be employed too. I would come up with something brilliant in less time than they did

The people coming up with that logo idea got PAID?

.. took them 2 years!

I mean, give me 20 bucks and I would have drawn an M and that's it.

But is there even a team in France that uses Club de Foot? It’s just odd. It would have been easier to just go with Club de Football.

 

[willzyix]

I guess unpopular but I like most of this. New logo is more modern, better colours, merch looks nicer, and at least the new name is timeless. Like most I would have preferred "football" over just "foot", but meh.

At least now it's official and we can go back to wanting Urruti to leave.

 

[JuicyHam]

So you can't act like a "big club" unless you have some form of "football club" in your team name? I don't get it. If this has been in the works for 2 years what is the excuse for the product on the pitch?

 

[Olfer]

I agree. They explained it in the conference by saying that they didn't want to be too european by going "football" or too north-american by saying "soccer", hence the weird middle ground "foot".

 

[LastRide]

I would demand a trade with that goofy name. Sounds like a foot message club ..lol

And also because Montreal summers are HOT, unlike the winters which are COLD. HFHabs is ready for design consultation contracts.

Maybe it’s a younger generation thing (not that I’m old) but I barely ever hear it referred to as “foot”. I’ll take your word for it though!

 

[MarkJ]

I can already see the thread titles

ont s'en Foot Edition.

It’s also completely ignoring that the city is bilingual and foot makes no sense to anglophones. In fact it makes it sound like Club Foot which is comical.
