LSM Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 On 05/09/2017 at 9:45 AM, BringBackTheBlizzard said: I often wondered whether the possibility of calling TFC the Maple Leafs and using the iconic brands from the NHL ever came up at MLSE board meetings. I suspect probably not as the MLS single entity would then have owned 51% of a franchise that could drain merchandise sales out of their main cash cow. For similar sorts of reasons I think cross-marketing is unlikely where CFL owners are concerned as having separate identities is easier from an accounting and future possible sale to new owners standpoint. As a Habs fan I used to imagine them starting a soccer club, and keeping them in the Canadiens branding. Changing the CH to a CF or CS. (It helps that I think Montreal's jerseys would translate very nicely to a soccer top.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also changing the H reminds me of all those Jr C and House league teams that use the C and swap it out with like an A for Ajax or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ticats went to the effort of securing the trademark about a year ago: https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/viewTrademark?id=1802329&lang=eng&tab=reg so regardless of how he feels about it, it appears to be in the running. Even if it's not selected, the history of Canadian pro soccer should be remembered: Vividly remember watching the Steelers in action in Hamilton, Toronto and London and hope to be able to do that again one day: If there was less of a fixation on the league having to be fully domestic with no MLS B teams I suspect it would have happened by now, but hopefully things will actually get there in the end in a manner that can be stable and sustained, if the powers that be insist that's the way it has to be. Ahh, you found the picture of the shirt I got made. That was from the company overseas. Here's the final (same shirt) : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Robin Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Maybe a company might name the team as a sponsor? Red Bulls ! Think of the names of any other energy drinks. Monster etc. or some brand of beer? or that happy guy who insists on Viagra brand Viagra. Imagine his face on the jersey. Hmm maybe a great sponsor for the future franchise in Niagara Falls. Only worry is the sponsor may get bored. The Air Canada franchise is now renamed Scotiabank like what's happening where the hockey team in Toronto plays.

I don't see them coming down there to settle a lawsuit xd True but there's a difference between launching a team now and launching a team in 1910~ (as is the case with the Chile's Everton) and using Arsenal which is extremely common name worldwide for a soccer club. While Halifax Town might not seem like much it's close enough to possibly cause issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
