my brother just forwarded this to me. i can't view the majority of soccer creation forums because they upload pics through sites my work blocks (flickr, tinypic, imageshack, etc). would anyone be able to confirm/deny the validity of this? kit / crest / sponsor / are they keeping impact?

i'm smelling something off, because it looks similar to the lyon kit:

100% false, the crest is wrong..

you've been pranked.


i havent seen anything that says theyre sticking with their old crest / club name (aside from saputo going on about keeping the club identity without confirming it). i also heard from him that some folk sat bigsoccer are saying they pulled this off the mlsgear site aka: how the timbers/tfc/whitecaps kits were leaked this year. again, i can be totally wrong.

the image is too small to look into for shooping, but again, if it's posted on bigsoccer it's been posted under imageshack or a site i can't view pictures on. so i'm seein a few posts and a bunch of blank.

Real or not, I love that kit. Absolutely love it. For that reason alone I hope it's a prank

Yup, it's much too similar to Lyon's, so unless the two are forming a partnership, this is a copy.

Also, knowing montreal, they'd emboss the Fleur de lis instead of lions

That kit looks fan created. I've seen that crest, and some like that, created by someone named kmiiik over at the BigSoccer Montreal MLS forum (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1361987&page=18).

Surely they're adding orange to the scheme somewhere, no?

Considering the Lion watermark from the Lyon kit is on that one, I think it's a pretty safe bet it's just a mock-up based on that kit.

Huh? What's with the Chelsea-style lion guardant on the shirt? Looks fake.

__wowza
05-10-2011, 08:23 AM
yeahhh, just had a look at that thread last night too redcoe.
lion watermark aside, there's a bunch of stuff on there that points to fake, the most obvious being the right side of the collar and the adidas logo on the bottom right (my screen brightness at work was too dark so i didn't see it originally).

would be cool, but i'm gonna hafta side with my gut feeling that it's probably a fake, though it'd be cool if it wasn't. unless anyone else feels like discussing this, can a mod lock the thread please/thanks?

Question is, will the Quebecers be up in arms over the Maple Leaf being on the arm instead of the provincial flag? lol

^ I'll bet you they go with the Quebec provincial flag instead of the Maple Leaf.

By the way, best concept logo I've seen for Montreal yet:

They won't, i wish they would be but Saputo has stated that this wont happen. It doesn't make sense either, the Impact name is recognized in Montreal and its been around for over a decade.

Garbage name for a garbage football team but its what the fans and ownership want so let'em have it.

I really hope the league steps in and says they have to have the Maple Leaf...

Not a bad badge though...

I agree that it doesn't make sense to change the name of the Impact, since they've been around for quite a while.

I do wish they had cheese as their mascot though. lol:D

It would have to be 'Olympique Montreal', which would make sense because they play next to Olympic stadium.

but I've heard that Olympique Marseille (and Lyon) have copyrighted the name, and it would take a huge amount of cash for anyone else to start an 'olympique' team.

OM and OL copyrighted the term Olympique? Somehow, I feel that there's another large sports group that would have a problem with that..

yeah, the guys with the Rings.

Maybe I have the order wrong.... maybe it was the Olympics who have locked the name up in copyright protection, but they grandfathered in deals with the Soccer Clubs that already use it.

^ Even though they won't, They could buy the rights off the old defunct Olympique Montreal NASL team and ressurect the name. Maybe they can bring back former player Graeme Souness to manage the team
