Guys.
billy is just using common sense here.
He's said there is no inside scoop. It's just common sense.

Uhh sorry, but claiming that BMO has wanted TFC to change its colours for YEARS is NOT just "common sense." It's a newsworthy statement (if true) and there is nothing wrong with asking for proof since he clearly stated it as fact.Originally Posted by Fort York Redcoat
blue company wants to have more blue in team they sponsor? Filmed at eleven?
Anyway. No scoop here.

You could actually go to the French I'mpact board and argue the exact opposite of what where're discussing here, there is red in the BMO logo after all.
Never seen any blue in the Raptors kit.
a) They are a Toronto team, historically blue?
b) They are sponsored by BMO.
The exact quote was "BMO has wanted blue in our logo or colour scheme for years." HAS WANTED. FOR YEARS. NOT "BMO has probably wanted TFC to use more blue since their main colour is blue." You are acting as if the two are the same statement when they are clearly not. One implies factuality and the other is an opinion. The fact that his other post seems to double down and imply that he does have proof but won't post it here (rightly so, but why make the statement in the first place then?) doesn't help the "common sense" argument either.
Anyways, not trying to start a big argument or anything, but people shouldn't be throwing out potentially false statements willy nilly without facts to back them up.
Raptors did wear a Huskies jersey a couple of times in 2009 (believe it was for the NBA's anniversary)
a) historically purple
b) newly sponsored by BMO
That's my point about supposedly all Toronto teams having a blue heritage so now TFC has to conform - the Raps were never blue. Although even they did the Huskies tribute.
Man people are conspiracy craving in here.
Only a few more days to go...

Discussed more than once. I'd be lying to say I know anything else.
Guys, my comment is true but not the unique or sole reason why MLSE would entertain and explore putting blue onto a 3rd jersey. My post was to show that there are multiple talking points why MLSE would put blue into a colour scheme of a primarily white team.
Not unlike Rogers testing the waters with changing the Jays into a red team (Canada's team too in there).
THE PLOT THICKENS...
Thanks, billy.

Two of the largest football clubs in the world, Liverpool and ManU, are both traditionally red clubs who've had some blue (and other various colours) in their kits over the years.
Watching you guys freak out over TFC's prestigious 10 year history of wearing red...is amusing to say the least.
Yeah I just noticed I wrote "white" team went I meant red team.
The Jays things was in the past before they realized how successful the return to the Jays original look would be.
(many) Major Sports teams change/edit/rebrand/change font logos on a given cycle to create jersey and merch gear.
It's funny you say that quoting me while you do it...I'm clearly not in the freakout boat. But like I said, enjoy the show while it lasts! Not long till the unveiling of controversy!!!

Haha, my apologies...I clicked the wrong button, never meant to quote or reference what you said.It's funny you say that quoting me while you do it...I'm clearly not in the freakout boat. But like I said, enjoy the show while it lasts! Not long till the unveiling of controversy!!!
But holy smokes do some people have their panties in a knot...chill out, a little bit of blue in our kit won't hurt.
Indeed... and it's not like they're totally rebranding into a predominantly blue scheme either, it's a frickin 10th anniversary away shirt with an unknown amount of blue in it. All this hub hub about ruining "tradition" (because every storied club has had the same away colours throughout history?) and conspiracy theories about BMO/Argos pressure and switching to all blue permanently is laughable.
I absolutely love this!!!
I like it, but doesn't it seem like it should represent TFC II with the two solid lines in the middle?
A jersey sponsor buys the right to put there brand on a jersey. I don't think they get to design the kit or alter a teams colours regardless how much they pay.
Where does that checkered part of that pic in the top left corner come from? Looks like a checkered crest but we never had anything like that before.
Interesting discussion graphic
BUT
that's the twitter icon for TorontoFC.
they had this as their twitter header picture a few weeks ago - I wouldn't be surprised to see this incorporated into the red part of the new away kit
It also in the background on this current tweet
Gross.
Three of five Canadian clubs are already blue; why join the herd?
Was curious if the jersey was out yet so clicked here- this entire thread is absolutely ridiculous. People are going nuts over the colour of an away jersey?! It's an away jersey! Teams change the colours of their away jerseys ALL the time! jeez. Of all the things to get in a tizzy over with this club. The potential colour pattern of the away jersey. Unreal. Why not save the heart attacks and conspiracy theories for, I dunno, once you've actually seen the jersey? Not that I'll ever do anything other than laugh at the "BMO changed the colour! Because the illuminati asked them to!" conspiracy theories anyway, but at least the righteous indignation could theoretically at least be somewhat plausibly be based on reality instead of the fear of the boogie man.
