CanadianSoccerFan Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 See this is the kind of thing that should happen all the time, but they have to make more than alternations that slight. You can still keep a maple leaf, a soccer ball, and the word Canada incorporated into the design but the delivery has to be much better. I'd recomend something circular, incorporate the ball with a leaf in the middle rather than split each in half. Put the name of the association around the outside, because let's face it not everyone is immediately aware what that logo is when they see it. Other associations have done something similar quite well. As an example (minus the soccer ball): That's precisely what the Canada crest was before the 80's incarnation. http://flic.kr/p/afgtnL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing its from the Old Canaian Ensign or the Ontario Standard? I only ask as the top left had corner carries the Genus of the FA's Three Lions. Apparently they are not actually lions but Heralic Leopards carried over from the Royal Standard. Hands up all those who know what the next comment may be?

Redcoatsforever Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 What's wrong with the CSA logo? I've never understood the hate for it.. easily better than most federations and I've never seen a better rendition offered up. My main beef with the logo is in how it appears on the jersey. The 2011 kits had an awesome rendition of the patch because it had several colours and was independent of the uniform design. I hope they keep it that way for the 2012 release.

Keegan Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It seems what people are suggesting is basically a Canadian version of the Honduras logo? Or we could always just put a big maple leaf over the heart as was suggested in some kits, kind of our version of the Honduras 'H' over the heart.

CanadianSoccerFan Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I like just a maple leaf. It doesn't need anything else. I'd be happy with something like this http://flic.kr/p/adTB7M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he not know its the symbol of Putins party in Russia?:confused: I like the Plain Leaf, though. With a bit of Comemorative text it would look nicely understated. That circle badge from '78 does not look too bad, just a little BIG. Oh and the answer to the Golden envelope round was.... Canada with having the Heraldic Leopards in the Canadian royal crest are just as entitled as the English, to make a case for wearing Three Lions on their shirt if they so choose to do so. Not that they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-collins Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Who the hell is Gualt FC??? Is that like Galt (suburb of Cambridge) who won a Gold medal in the 04 Olympics Yes, the town near Hespeler whose namesake recently inspired the lululemon shopping bags.

MJALLTHEWAY Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yes, the town near Hespeler whose namesake recently inspired the lululemon shopping bags. What? lol ...and Galt and Hespeler are Cambridge. They are part of three older cities amalgamated into one (Galt, Hespeler and Preston) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamR Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Try making the logo small enough to fit inside the white part (and the white part a little wider at the same time) to mimic the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-collins Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 If we go with the shield, I would at least like to see the proportions be correct: 1:2:1 red:white:red as the flag is defined... That would help in trying to fit the logo without making it too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Canadian Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I personally have no problem with the current or previous Canadian logo at all. It has a Maple Leaf, soccer ball and says CANADA on it. What more do we need? I'd like to see Canada go with the old school "sash" styled jersey. You know, like Peru and River Plate of Argentina wear? Peru's is a perfect example because they are also sponsored by Umbro.... http://kaneonlinestore.com/peru-jersey-c-219_579_595.html Sorry for the link but for some reason I can't upload a photo into this post.

Marc Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 A remake of the 1986 shirt wouldn't be all that bad. It's a pretty classic-looking jersey and there are very few originals around. It has aged very well. The 1986 shorts, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoatsforever Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I made yet another crest (in MS Paint, of course), it's missing the words "Canadian Soccer Association" around the upper part of the badge, because you can't type in a circle in paint.

Califax Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 See I think that crest would look sick on our kits right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see them dump the black theme though. I also don't know that it needs to say Canadian soccer association. I would much prefer, "maple leaf forever" or "see the rise" or "strong and free" or something. I'll tell you though, I have drifted rapidly into the camp of loving our jerseys now. They have grown on me at an alarming rate. I also hated england's 2010 world cup kits and they too grew on me. I'd like to see a classic polo look for one of them and maybe something circa 1986 for the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoatsforever Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 See I think that crest would look sick on our kits right now.(...) Thanks, I kinda wish we were keeping our current kits, but I understand the need to change them. I'll miss the $60.00 price tag though. The 2012 kit can't come out fast enough for me, though. I sort of got all the players to sign my 2011 jersey after the St.Kitt's match and I no longer have a national team jersey that fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Did anyone ever find a place that could put a name and number the current shirt that was the same font that the CSA uses? I did find a guy on ebay who has the lettering and numbers for the old adidas kits and can do any name upon request. Also I have an XL of the red adidas polka dot shirt that I'd love to trade for a medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if anyone has actually inquired about that yet, but any of the the soccer niche stores that sell the jersey should have access to Umbro's info, and to printing places that should be able to do the numbering and lettering. For the polka dot jerseys, I simply went down to our local soccer shop here, Xtratime Sports Soccer Locker, and asked the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
