Blue and White Army Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 All the large kit manufacturers are releasing their new designs, and thus I'm assuming it's only a matter of time until we get the new men's kit released (perhaps hence why the CSA online shop has the women's kits, but not the men's). Since this is the age of "cookie-cutter" kits, and since Canada is supplied by Adidas, looking at other Adidas designs might give us a idea what our new shirt will look like. Here's France's new top: Do you think that penis-looking thing will also appear on our shirts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewsome Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 CSA emailed me to expect the new kit in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulV Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 It seems like we've barely started to use our current shirt, and now they're replacing it. Could we add a gold star to our logo (like France) and say it was for the Gold Cup? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Natesta I like our current kit, why change it? My guess is that Adidas says so. Here are a couple other examples of the new design with some variations. Spain's home jersey doesn't have a multi-coloured collar. Change the yellow stripes to white and you might have Canada's: Argentina's away jersey adds some colour under the arms: But really this new design is not significantly different from the current one, so I have to wonder what the heck Adidas' designers are paid for when all they do is create a new cookie-cutter that is barely different from the last one.

röda stjärna Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 The new Japan adidas kit does not have the "thong", so it's not certain the Canadian version will: However, since most adidas nations do have the thong, it is probable...

hamiltonfan Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 The CSA online store said in an e-mail "Adidas has told us that a mens jersey will be available by the end of next month."(the e-mail was recieved dated March 6, 2004) i wonder if this means that there will be a new look to the shirts or not?

JayWay Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I really hope ours has a collar. And it's not a thong, it's a martinee glass. Ok it's a thong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Kennett Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 If you look at the examples of jerseys here, you will see that each one, Spain. Argentina, and Japan, have some kind of crest or shield on them. Why could Canada not have the SHIELD portion of the Coat of Arms on their new kit? It would look great, and, I believe, look better than the corporate logo that we currently have. CHeers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Uhm, Ian, have you ever actually SEEN Canada's coat of arms? Hate to tell you but the shield is butt-ugly and would be totally indistinct at anything beyond a few inches away. Sorry, I must be a product of my generation but I like the CSA logo. Of course I like the Canucks retro jerseys and would love to see Arsenal wearing the 70's style with just the gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 I think the CSA logo definately needs to be re-designed.... but I agree with most on here that the Canadian shield is too busy/detailed to use on our footie shirts.

I think we should take some solace in the fact that Canada is different, and stop trying to make up our on-field inadequacies off the field, IMHO.

I'd love the CSA to do a retro shirt (in celebration of the upcoming 20th anniversary of WC 86), maybe as a sort of good luck shirt. I'd wear it to all the qualifiers.

Grizzly Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Most countries have a coat of arms or shield because most countries have completely boring and unoriginal flags consisting of two or three coloured stripes which are thus not very convincing as a logo. As we have a pretty unique and original flag I think this is effective as a logo and I like the CSA logo because it is original and looks nice. Plus this was my lucky shirt with the ladies in all the years I lived in Europe and a pretty Russian girl ended up asking me for it last summer so it can't be that bad. I now need a new one and am for this reason hoping that the new design is similar to the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoyleG Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Some may praise the orginality of the CSA logo. I, on the other hand, find that it's rather outdated. When your trying to promote yourself to a new audience, you want to do something that people can relate to. Rugby Canada got the idea when they replaced their old logo with a more modern one. The downside is that they borrowed from the CHA. I'm sure that some on this board can produce what they wuld like to see for a logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
