Wow. That's pretty good. Almost worth it for a guy like me that would only be able to go to a handful of games. Particularly with respect to the advance access to the WYC and the Nat'l team games. I'm impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Label me whatever you want. But remember it took them 4 months to get to this point. Naming the team after a failed canadian USL entry. Edmonton FC. Like I said this has "Marlies" all over it.

The Beaver Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Congrats to our Toronto and Toronto-area colleagues--and everyone else in the region. I like the name and the logo and hope that games are televised. Of course, I cannot wait to see who plays for them next year. Will any of our lads overseas come home? Will DD and Serioux leave their current MLS team? And, once we have a stadium out here, I hope the 'Caps join the MLS and then the Impact. One note on billion dollar companies: they didn't make their billions and certainly will not keep them if they make the sort of ass-stupid decisions that G-Man would have them make. If they go out and hire dumb soccer people to run the franchise, then G-Man might have a real beef. Though the proof will be in the pudding, and if the franchise can be successful at the gates and on the pitch, then it won't matter who runs the damned ship. Success is success.

Dear MODS. I find offence that Rudi continues to slander me without cause for worry in such a way. If you change the word Troll to Honkey or Cracker it would be racist. His continuing use of the word is harassment. I think Rudi and Franky (insinuating that I'm a baby in need of my mommy!) should be banned. YES. Banned. They both PURPOSELY hurt my feelings, mock me as free thinking indivdual and constantly attack me- and for not for my views. They no longer debate what I write, but attack me personally, which I think is against the rules of fair play and the Canadian way of life. They are what they acuse me of being.

JayWay Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Just back from the PC. Jim Brennan was in attendance and stated that, barring a return to Europe, he'd like to suit up for Toronto FC. During his spiel, Pipe also voiced his hopes that DeRosario would sign with TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to Brennan, But I hope our CSA flagship Pro Team doesn't become a haven for every Canadian without a club. Hopefully he can sign a contract somewhere and not sit out 10 months without a game. And with his skill and passion that should happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a racist who uses negative terms to degrade someone, your use of "troll" is used to degrade me and my points. You might as well be saying "Oh here's that nigger talking again, don't listen to anything he has to say, he's a coon" You don't tell me what I saying is wrong- you slander me personally. Yes, I was censored yesterday. All I insinuated was that the supporters bus to KC would be so crowed that you'd have to share a seat with Franky. At no point did I try to paint you as a homosexual. Which if you were, there would be nothing wrong with that. And I now I am asking the mods to censor you for slandering me and attempting to degrade me over a period of months, by banning you or at least asking you stop harrassing me. I await their call. IT works both ways, Rudi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 thank goodness they didn't go with one of those italian-centric names. toronto fc makes sense on so many levels it is ridiculous. i agree the logo is bland. i hope this gives a kick up the backside for player development in eastern canada, and toronto at the very least - put the ball at the kids feet and let's go out scoring goals!

Cheeta Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I am actually quite impressed. I have to admit it's for the 1st time in this whole fiasco but that's more directed at the CSA than MLSE & their MLS partners. First, they're calling it football. Good move. Second, they turned their nose up on gimmicky sports franchise marketing for... "The absense of a conventional sports nickname is deliberate," Anselmi added. "We wanted the whole city to feel ownership and we want to provide the opportunity for a meaningful nickname to emerge over time." another very good move. Shows fore thought and maturity and allows for the Mother of All "Name the Team" contests. One without a deadline for entrys or review by marketing hacks and one which will eventualy be decided upon by the fans & supporters of the team and nobody else. Just the way it should be. (Adding the two above together is very encouraging to me. Maybe hints at a marketing plan not involving suburban soccer moms and their spawn). Not too excited about that shield but whatever. I could live with a Southampton kit. That's cool. And third if Jim Brennan was there, and as we've seen a migration of a few other fellows to MLS this year at entirely un-MLS like wages, then there may be hope for a decent squad for this side yet. How they're going to make salary cap I've no idea, but those rules may be a bit flexable. Don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I don't think the logo is too bad. Actually, it's reasonably nice, although I'd prefer a strong silver to the grey that's there. Maybe they can incorporate some silver into the stadium or the merchandise. Not big on the FC considering every single piece of written material referencing the team in pretty much any english-Canadian media will call it "soccer", but it's not a huge deal. Overall I was fairly skeptical going into this (and still am, a bit) but I came out quite impressed after the press conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Portugal Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 best logo in the league with DC and Chicago name is generic but gives us the supporters option on a "nickname" whether it be red, city or nationals all in all i like what i am seeing and therefore i have reserved tix for next season 50$ well spent:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stated my opinion that you should be censored, but I've never flat-out high-jacked a thread and asked the mods to ban you. And what a surprise that the thread you've decided to play Mr. Victim in just so happened to be started by me, and is about the one thing (a Toronto MLS team) you've been railing against endlessly for months. Just give it up. You've been called a troll by (many) others, including one of the mods of this forum. I'm not alone in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary Boomer Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think both the name and the logo are "safe" picks. I quite like the logo, and hope that there's something distinctive with the kit. I'm more concerned about the blandness of the stadium. No cover, field turf, nothing unique. Mind you, when you look at pictures of Paetec Park in Rochester, it doesn't look too bad finished. The idea is to get as many fans as CLOSE to the field as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
