The Season Ticket Package TFC sticker spotting thread.

[billyfly]

Post any pics of cars that stick the TFC sticker on their car.


EDIT: not sure what happened on the type-o there in the poll

2EDIT: keyboard is stuck on French. Ièll have to reboot for it to change back. Dang.

[nascarguy]

the sticker is so easy to copy not much went in to designing it

[flatpicker]

The sticker is an easy design for a reason!
They are supposed to look like those car stickers that identify your country.

For example:

http://images1.cafepress.com/product/34260271v33_225x225_Front.jpghttp://images4.cafepress.com/product/34260274v33_225x225_Front.jpghttp://www.redrockdecals.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/170x170/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/b/u/bumper_gb_1.jpg





Now... they could have gone this way I suppose:

or this: http://images.cafepress.com/product_zoom/214612726v4_225x225_Front_padToSquare-true.png

[billyfly]

I think they should have gone with a bit more detail because as someone else mentioned - TFC also stands for The Filipino Channel...lol

[flatpicker]

^ In that case, it might have been better to have the logo on it, or the colours behind it, as per the above Germany stickers.

Can you get a job with MLSE like Parkdale? ;)

[flatpicker]

^ I'm trying!

[Ossington Mental Youth]

i highly doubt anyone is going to confuse it with the filipino channel.
i like it alot, still not sure itll go on the car simply because i want one for my tfc collection

[Whoop]

^^
LOL

Maybe they'll confuse it with Toulouse Football Club, you know le Téfécé.

[Kevvv]

I took a bit of French in high school. If I'm not mistaken, the poll question is pronounced: "Are you going to stick the TFC sticker on your car, eh?"

[tfc2007]

To bad the stickers werent more easily recognized as the TFC team.

No offense, but I quite like the sticker. I've got one on my scooter, and once we give the car a good washing this weekend, will have one on the car.

A lot more Filipinos then Toronto FC fans in Toronto....I wouldn't be surprised if they did....(from experience).

[Velvet Elvis]

I stuck it on the MonkeyMobile last night :D

[Parkdale]

hey guys..... think of this angle...

the just put 'TFC' (no crest, no soccer ball) so that it would be a thing 'for those in the know'.
If they put TorontoFC under it, then it would spoil the fun.

This sticker will evoke 1 of 2 possible responses:
"What's TFC?"
"Quesque Vous chantez?"


see? it's an insider thing.

see that looks nice, but there's no 'hidden' meaning in it. Everything right there, at face value.



hell.... this might just be what we need to end "The FC"

[flatpicker]

Just to be clear... I do like the sticker as it is.
But I figured I would see what other options would have looked like... plus billyfly put in a request.
I do like the version with the crest, but if I had a car, I would happily put the STH TFC sticker on it.

No stickers on my car. Even TFC ones...

ya, flat back is hot. a buddy did a cafe racer flat black an it was gorgeous.

[Parkdale]

so... any idea about if a sticker would bake on the heat shield?

Could be a good thing. Might be the only way to light the team on fire this season.

:P

[dupont]

I don't drive a car.... I guess I could stick it to the subway but then they would probably just peel it off.
I'll stick it on the first Porsche I see.

[drewski]

since its a heat shield it might work. depends how you ride. if you sit in traffic a lot it would get a lot hotter than if you just like to bomb along open roads.

I know some guys put stickers on their swing arm, or you could do like this guy did :D

[Parkdale]

see that works! Stickers are an 'all or nothing' king of thing.

I have a bolt on wind-screen (I do lots of distance riding, and no faring means discomfort) and was thinking of caking the faring with stickers... but that would need mucho bug cleaning

[billyfly]

^Mike you still got any RPB stickers left?

[Parkdale]

yes. many.

[billyfly]

Excellent...

[Alonso]

No stickers on my car. Even TFC ones...


I generally stick with this philosophy, as most stickers make my ride look tacky.

This however, I will put on my car. On the back window so it doesn't leave a mark as my bumper fades and can be removed without too much of a problem if it doesn't hold up to the weather.

Its very simple and low key, and as everyone knows less is more. Plus my SUV is black so it'll matchup great.

[Parkdale]

yeah - the rule with stickers is this: 1 only.

if you have more than 1 sticker, you looks like a tool. BUT one well thought out sticker can work just fine.
Possibly 2 if you're driving a sport pickup or SUV, and they are matching, but not competing stickers.
Example: Burton snowboards and Killington works fine. More than one location means it's a motorhome

[flatpicker]

^ I agree with that now... but if I had a car back in university, it would have been covered in Grateful Dead stickers.

i can dig that. though for my ride i'd add window stickers only. stickers on paint look more tacky for some reason, plus it causes the paint to fade unevenly.

yeah. back window is the spot, and not too large.

this works just fine. keep it classy.

I saw a car on Spadina with a pedobear sticker on the hood (as if it were coming out from under it). I laughed pretty hard, but it was difficult to explain to the woman I was walking with.

[jaahuuu]

I hate those white oval stickers, mine will be staying in the box.

I bought the lame bumper sticker they sell at BMO in 2008, cut out the TFC logo and stuck it in the upper corner of my windshield, it didn't survive the Buffalo winter. I repeated the process in 2009, but this time stuck the logo inside the car and taped it from behind. It still looks great.

[billyfly]

This is the classiest sticker going around, bar none.

I always wonder if the girl in the passenger seat knows what this means.

Holy crap. I'm old. I never knew what a shocker was. I had to google it.... I'm still LOL. Seriously !!!

....from the site, and I quote ... "two for you and one for poo".

[eustacchio]

two in the pink and one in the stink.

a buddy of mine gave a speech (well, it was more of a Dr. Seussish poem - meh) at a wedding and actually rhymed something with two in the pink and one in the stink. I'm not sure what made him think that was appropriate, but he couldn't really figure out why the couple stopped calling him.

[MUFC_Niagara]

Can you get a job with MLSE like Parkdale? ;)

I thought he worked for Shoeless Joe's?

If someone doesn't want, or has no use for theirs - I have a great spot on my bumper for it.. Seriously :)

It'll save me the hassle of making one up in my own design :)

if you believe all the rumours....

joes, mlse, tfc, mlse, bmo security, bmo bank, toronto tourism, the cne AND the raptors (this was a funny one)

I have yet to recieve a check from anyone.

I switched it repeatedly but it wouldn't switch. I needed a reboot for the fix but didn't want to.

[Eastend]

I didn't get a picture but who has a silver Mazda 3 (I think) with:

- a RPB Sticker in top left of back window
- the new TFC sticker in bottom right of back window
- and the big TFC logo in the middle

??? I followed you then you followed me yesterday along Coxwell then O'Connor.

two in the pink and one in the stink.

I used to work with a girl that had the licence plate "PI2NK" She told very few what it actually meant but due to the previous post I quoted you can probably figure out it stands for 2 in the Pink

[Yagbod]

No picture, but I saw the sticker on a SUV on Aerodrome near Eglington and Brentcliff. I had not seen any image of it before and took about 3 looks at it to make sure I was seeing TFC. I still didn't believe it until I just read this thread.

And you know what pisses me off, I sit in 110, about 50 odd feet away from 112 and I paid about 4 times as much for my tickets (partial packs - whole season, 2 seats) and I get jack shit.

Give me my sticker!

:banghead::hulk:

[CoachGT]

Saw a car in Newmarket with one yesterday. First one that I've seen. I'd be hard pressed to say that the driver was a TFC fan, though. She didn't seem the type.

[billyfly]

I don't think you can say he sticker was a success. It wasn't a bad idea and I'm not sure of the exact number of them out there and Toronto is a big city etc but I would have thought I would have seen more by now.

[Bloor West FC]

no pic as well, but seen one on a silver car a few minutes back on Bloor Street dude had two dogs in the back seat.

[Jitter]

Saw one of the stickers on a Caravan on the 401 near Leslie. The driver was beeping at the car in front of him for going too slowly lol
