Soju Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I think it's a great idea to keep a thread of things the CSA say they will do and of questions they won't answer (if any). It's a good way for the fans here and the media people who browse the forum to keep tabs on what they're up to whether it be positive or negative. It will make whatever contructive mail we send them more meaningful if shared on a public forum. Maybe the mods could make it a sticky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobe_z Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I'm still waiting to hear who won the "logo contest" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piltdownman Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I think I won. I sent in the old logo with a normal font, and thats now the logo. Where is my prize? I'm joking, but I did send that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm joking, but I did send that in. If you have proof of this I see a clear opportunity for big money litigation. I think they mentioned that submissions become their property, but what of the lack of recognition leading to emotional and psychological pain and suffering I'm sure you endured.

RJB Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 We're coming up to the one year anniversary of the CSA saying that they were bringing back their online store. Good to know that they move quickly. Some people may think that I'm being too picky, but they said it, so they should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villus Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Its just so funny how I will be talking with people who follow soccer in Canada and have a discussion about the EPL, Champions league, Euros and then I bring up Canada and they don't even know any of the players and have no idea that we have our best team ever with a ton of talent. Just so disheartening to think what it could do for soccer and our team if we could make these guys household names, and actually get all the soccer supporters to actually support our national team. great CSA you have a team playing attractive soccer with marketable players +TFC doing great things how much easier could it get????

Richard Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 ^ Clearly a temporary problem as all is working now. According to Richard Scott the CSA has a long term project underway to revamp their website but they are working with a limited budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry they'll get some web wennie with no clue who will charge them an arm and a leg to do up a coldfusion site that will crash constantly but it will always be something else at fault. It will later turn out to be a relative of one of the CSA members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The town I am in is brutal when it comes to soccer. No one follows soccer expect for my group of friends, the dutch farmers and the teachers at school. A lot of the time we find ourselfs talking to the teachers about soccer. There is no team for kids past the age of 8 which is the problem. At young ages all kinds of kids are active in soccer but by the age of 10 they can not play cause there is no team in most towns so they just lose interest.

Tintin Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I must be missing something. Why is it important to be able to buy a shirt over the internet instead of at a store? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm just confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 In case you can't go to a store. Many people live in places where the jersey is not available. When you can buy pretty much any team's jersey online, it is ridiculous to not be able to buy your own country's. The BigSoccer store is a prime example. While I can buy the current kits for Georgia, India, Israel, Norway, Slovenia and Togo, the only thing available for Canada is dog tags. The CSA's not getting any favours with online distribution and if they want to get people supporting the team, they need to at least let them know where to buy the current jersey online.
