This looks to be the first leak. A different shade of red and onyx stripes this time - I like it. I wonder if there's some distinctive design features though. Also, looks like we don't have a sponsor yet. Wouldn't mind if we just gave it to a local community org .. but knowing MLSE.

Is the montreal jersey the one beside Seattles? If so they don't have a sponsor either. Could Toronto and Montreal end up with the same jersey sponsor again?

I think that might be San Jose. https://twitter.com/TotalMLS/status/563462809694920705/photo/1 Montreal can be seen here with BMO

The boys were wearing something similar that can be seen on the TFC twitter account...I'm one of the people that tends to think it's a Training/Warm-up Kit. It's WAYYYYY too generic to be our jersey, Especially after the last couple block busters.

I actually like the last home jersey. If not for the maple leaf and psychedelic checkerboard it would have been an awesome shirt (now you might say that really is the whole jersey and you'd probably be right). DOn't like what I see from the new one. Keep the three stripes white at least. The black stripes (sorry, onyx) is what looks training ground to me.

Really? I can't stand this mentality considering we have the highest payroll in the league, a SSS (that is getting upgrades), natural grass, an academy, multiple academy teams, a new reserve team and a reserve team stadium. A jersey sponsor in MLS is a massive contributor to making these teams financially viable. MLSE is not evil for wanting $5mil/yr (what they've received previously) to offset the ridiculous over-spending they've put into developing this team. Let's remember this the same organization pouring millions into a franchise that is a still a 'maybe' in terms of financial stability. I want a local organization as much as the next guy but I'd rather the team/org have more money that they have continually shown they are willing to reinvest in the club. I highly doubt MLSE has made a profit off of TFC, especially when I see I'm paying $190 for my season seats this year.



Also. The new kit looks pretty damn nice, its about time we got away from all these fancy 'Canadian' designs. There are many clubs in Canada now, we aren't Canada's team, we're Toronto's. Simple is good and I'm also glad the team seems to be moving away from light grey and white. Red and onyx is unique, we're the only club in the world with these colors.

Yup.

Well to that first paragraph. People act like MLSE isn't pouring money in, and hemorrhaging money from this team. But sure, let's strap on a che guevara hat and spit on capitalism because my tickets are $190 dollars.

As for the jersey, I don't need all the Canadian hullabaloo either, but that kit is too plain for my liking. It's like they didn't even try.

Exactly my point. Yes, Leaf tickets are expensive but so is running a NHL hockey team. Also, if they sold that ticket for $40 then a scalper or any reasonable person would then flip it for market value anyways. So yeah, I'd rather the team get my money than an opportunist. Also, those high Leaf prices pay for TFC spending so.. yeah.. be careful what you wish for.

Agree but I'll add that if they don't come to terms that are beneficial to the club this is the kind of situation that other foreign teams have got in to where they take on a charity (local or otherwise) until they find the deal that actually fits.

I won't get into the other threads specialty of what sponsor belongs or doesn't but there are plenty of options that fits both the team, where they play and for an amount that is worthwhile.

If that's the design, I can live with it. It's just the pendulum swing in designs to the simpler kits again. Remember kits in the 90s? Then they went simpler and lately they've gone back to more intricate designs. Now we'll probably see the simple ones for a few years, then back to the prints and fancy designs again. These cycles are just a bit more accelerated now because teams have a new kit every year or two.

The newly leaked photo does the shirt a bit more justice; I can live with it, and agree that a sponsor and arm-patches will tie it all together, nicely.

Like kodiakTFC and I have talked about, elsewhere, a shift towards more red and onyx combinations is where it's at—very unique and classy looking, for me.

I only wish they would have put a trim of onyx along the end of each sleeve, but this isn't too bad.

What I like about simpler jerseys is you can easier wear them about, without looking like a crazy person. lol

Looks like they are really playing up the "Reds" angle this year. Simplistic red jersey, #COYR hashtag used by the twitter account and Giovinco draped with "Come On You Reds" scarf (could this be the one we are getting?). Have to wonder if the marketing team drew inspiration from the jersey or perhaps vice versa.

But the one in that photo has a collar with the Adidas logo on it, so I don't think it's the same one. If anything, it does confirm that the design aesthetics of this year's clothing will include onyx stripes.

I believe the scarf Giovinco was wearing will be the season ticket holder Scarf. In a video I saw of his arrival at airport, when he was first given the scarf, someone says to him in Italian that this is the scarf given to the team's supporters.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Otherwise, agreed; the pinstripes at least give the design a bit more depth, and I still think an onyx trim along the end of each sleeve would have done a great deal of good (see Columbus's kit).

I think this will be the year I finally pick up a jersey, pending the sponsor isn't something ridiculous like "Bimbo."

Again, looking forward to being able to sport this casually about, without the overly sporty look of a busier design.

Red and white—not a more generic football side colour combination in existence.

Really think we should lean away from the Canadian flag look, to a more stylish red & onyx; so unique and refreshing, for me.

In my mind, I would have always done it the same way you described. Having seen this design, I like that there are thicker patches that wrap around the sides, just slightly coming around toward the front/back. If it went all the way around, I feel like the straight line, being disturbed by natural motion, wouldn't look quite as sharp when worn (although, I'm not so sure about that; mainly just happy with this simple alternative to the generic idea of piping the sleeves and base of the jersey).

I can understand someone who doesn't know of colours mistaking it for black; I think, though, every time I've seen our away kits or had a look at our badge, etc., the onyx is very distinctly dark grey (even heard one commentator bizarrely refer to it as blue).

That said, I have no problem with a few hits of black.. but, have quite well embraced how the onyx compliments the red, and I'm glad it's not black.

You said, earlier, that the long sleeve might be better; this one has already grown on me, but I think you might be right about that.

We get a sponsor and a nice maple leaf that we always try to add to the jersey in one way or another. Unfortunately I haven't seen them sponsor anything soccer related.

Although it seems like they have in the past:

The league received sponsorship from Air Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Canada), Foster's Lager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster%27s_Lager), Hyundai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai), and Gatorade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatorade)

Not gonna get in a pissing match. It's a shade of black and no one cares about making that a thing. Black Onyx, whatever.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_black

Conversations like these are why people hate forums.
Bung?! People hate the forums because of a convo where someone is passionate about our colours, and sees some great potential, were they embraced?

Obviously, grey is a shade of black, just as orange is a mix of red and yellow.. yet I can't see any Houston fans too pleased about someone just choosing one of the colours to refer to them, nor if they were called reddish-yellow. Has nothing to do with a pissing match, and I even recognized where you were coming from, however still insistent that the difference is certainly there.

Anyway, man.. not to worry; won't trouble you on it anymore more, since it seems any challenge isn't particularly well received. o.0



Looks like Bayerns new one

white sponser and our new home kit will look fantastic. I'm really into this kit, onyx and all
You're right—hadn't even thought of that, despite taking in some FCB matches, this year.

I would highly doubt any bank logo will be seen while BMO has the naming rights to BMO Field. The only exception to this is that you will see Scotiabank stuff during the Gold Cup games as they are title sponsor for CONCACAF Champions League and the Gold Cup.

(full disclosure, I work for Scotiabank, and in the same dept as the sponsorship people, but I have no inside knowledge. I didn't even know about the CONCACAF thing until the press conference!).

That being said, I am happy I don't have to have a competitor's logo on a jersey this year, if I choose to buy a new one!

The question wasn't about whether or not Rogers is likely to be named as shirt-sponsor. The question was, "SHOULD they (Rogers) be named, is the example given at all imaginable?"

It were bandied about as a possibility for awhile, with mock-ups to go along with it; whilst I have always agreed that it's not too likely, given the current ownership situation, from a more design-angled perspective, I was curious about the idea of simplifying the logo—a concept translatable to other possible brands, as well.

It will be a two year deal to coincide with the stadium naming rights coming due. They can make more selling it as a package then selling them individualy.

When the merger first happened (it could be different now), the equity was split in a 55% to 45% ratio in favour of Molson shareholders.

The beer isn't good no doubt.

Again, ignoring (because all corporations only structure themselves for favourable tax benefits) where it's incorporated or what entity owns what and who is who's subsidiary, the people running the company, chairmen, BODs are still heavily Canadian.

I do agree with the criticism about dual MLS badges; would have preferred to reserve one side for the Canadian flag.. but, that's not too big a deal for me, and the new MLS badge looks great in our colours.

What I will say is that it's funny how, over the years, I've always looked at the various training attire and thought, "if only"; their clean and simple designs are often a breath of fresh air—felt like there were more than a few, on here, that shared similar sentiments, as well.

Now we have a simple, yet classy, jersey, and it's been interesting to see the responses to it.

** * **

I know I said that it needs the sleeve-piping/trim to look more complete, but, in retrospect, I honestly feel like that's too predictable; the way it is now has a certain panache about it, that is, for me, rather refreshing. I also think that the absence of a band along the bottom is for the best, with just the partial hits along the side; could have looked sloppy, with the band rarely appearing at all straight.

Overall, I really have taken a liking to this jersey; much like many things I quite like, it's something that has grown on me, and I, in some ways, appreciate that sort of thing more.

Well done, TFC. Can't wait to cop!
