ktf Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I love the away kit. Definitely kind of wish I could get one of those with my season tickets. I do like the home ones as well. I think we certainly have some of the more unique ones in the league. Although I am generally rather pleased with them all. York 9 FC are the ones that I want to see in person first. Cavalry FC's reds seem like they will be really sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinInuk Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I don't know, I think the home kit would have been better as just purple. The trident creating the line in the middle splitting 2 similar colours, it kinda ruins it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Anybody else see the home kit as a Volkswagen shish kebab? Don’t get me wrong, I like both, but I’m having a hard time not seeing a cherry tomato on a skewer... Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is way more subtle in person than in the hi-res photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2SKI Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'm a bit disappointed with Volkswagen as the kit sponsor tbh. I would've preferred someone local. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have a "local" company outbid VW. Not sure how realistic that is as we don't have a lot big companies headquartered or operating here. I was thinking that since they throw money away on useless advertising anyway (seriously, why do they need to advertise) we might as well get BC Ferries to do it.

youllneverwalkalone Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Love the VW sponsorship. Looks professional, more so if we didn't have to share with HFX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince193 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I mean I don't think it's a question of being outbid. It seems like no companies were interested in a kit sponsorship deal with Pacific, York 9, HFX, Valour and FCE.

I'd submit that the league is only interested in a certain type of corporate sponsor - using a Victoria example, I don't think the league wants the team sponsored by Galaxy Motors or Sabhai Thai, even if these companies were willing to shell out the $.

I don't think VW, the biggest corporate sponsor in the league, got the "leftovers". A more likely way of reading it is that a big money sponsor got exactly what they wanted, and chose the two clubs they were most interested in. 1 hour ago, SthMelbRed said: FFS!

LOL, there is some ship-building and even aircraft building, as well as some tech-sector companies, but mostly we have the big three: RCN Pacific Fleet, University of Victoria, and the Provincial Government.

xancgr Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Anybody else concerned with the lack of progress on the stadium?

Yeah, I'm trying to stay positive but there is some tension building. Maybe they are opening the grounds so early on the 28th (1:00 pm) so we can bring wrenches and help put it together?

Blackjack15 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Apparently PFC are expected to sign 5 new players to their squad in one week or more My guess is: Usports Draft Pick (UBC) | Rookie of the year& former WFC 2 player - Thomas Gardner, FW - Mamadi Camara, Simon Fraser University standout in, was a part of the Foothills winning team last year and drafted by SJ Earthquakes As well as the reported player on Twitter, Shun Takano, Japanese, winger, 23, got noticed at the got game open trials and was CCAA MVP and POY in the Pacific region with VIU Mariners. He has been on trial since the club came back from Tofino I can sense the final two are loans in from the Whitecaps; Sean Melvin, Derek Cornelius, Michael Baldisimo, Theo Bair come to mind as options. David Norman Jr. Suffered an injury and Hasal/Colyn too are focused on training Does anyone remember when Cornelius appeared on a promotional poster from Pacific FC or is that just me? I swear we could probably find it somewhere ted and ktf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Do they have the supporters and family section bleachers in place behind both goals done? Those are being sold as general admission right now and should be easy to do unlike the big grandstand behind the goal. If they haven't sold out the rest of the stadium, there's probably no huge rush on the grandstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not as great as a full capacity fully erected stadium though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
