I used to play touch football there in the 70s, lived just down the street. Imagine the shots on TV... I'd make the identity of the CPL club focused on the Mountain - ALL Montrealers relates to it one way or another Edited January 5, 2021 by Ansem saintjoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costarg Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I'm sure those shots are just merch t-shirts and not jerseys. I'm not a big fan of a complete rebrand including the stripes and colors, but ya, I still don't mind dropping the Impact name. I understand the history and all, but still, change is ok. People adapt and evolve. The songs can stay, as historical tribute. We can still have Impact as a nickname, a la Habs. In my travels and when hosting foreign friends and family the name has ALWAYS come up as a "what's with the U13 name?" It might offend some longtime supporters on the short term, but no doubt it will finally give them some credit with the bigger soccer snobs, both local and abroad. I choose to have faith and trust the plan and process. They finally have some people with credibility in important roles, I'm sure they want to bury some of the previous bad press and decisions. The only bad decision was not doing it when they joined the MLS in the first place, however now is still a better time than 2022 or any time in the future. You make mistakes, you learn, grow and evolve, its the sign of a smart and mature organization. I'd be more concerned if they weren't trying to adapt and make changes to something that is obviously not working. Joey has been trying to attract investors and partners since they got into MLS, what they've done the past few years obviously isn't working. Their image is a big reason for that, they have great jerseys, an ok stadium, a fairly good roster, front office has improved, why not drop the U13 name now and go for broke? You'd have to be a moron to not try. Edited January 5, 2021 by costarg SoccMan and MM3/MM2/MM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd make the identity of the CPL club focused on the Mountain - ALL Montrealers relates to it one way or another Fond memories playing here in inter-league when at McGill in the early 80s. Remember one of the only successful dribbles of my life was cut short in the area by a double foul, one on each leg, landing me dead on my crotch. A teammate then botched the penalty. A week later my doctor told me I had mononucleosis and should not play contact sports until over it. Great location and nice venue, especially since it was redone.

Chad_Impact Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) Some teasers the club has shared for the announcement this Thursday. Apparently the new identity will feature around the city's often snowy environment. Some people are saying they think these videos and other pictures they've shared are teasing a new stadium but I highly doubt it. I think some stadium renovations are more realistic though, maybe field heaters and an extended roof to fully cover the stands? Starting the season with weeks of road games has always been a big problem. Would be pretty weird for the club if they do indeed take that identity and continue to hide away from the snow in the Big O.

That'd be a great direction. it's getting exciting, looking forward to the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM3/MM2/MM Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Hope Henry is good working with young players. Montreal must have one of the youngest rosters in all of pro soccer. An average birth year of 1998.14. By comparison TFC is at 1995.54. Edited January 12, 2021 by MM3/MM2/MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
