dmont Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 . Made a Hamilton logo a while back, but now Hamilton seems to be out of the NASL picture. Ottawa's got an expansion franchise, so here's a concept. Anybody care for the design? name? colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It looks amazing, which is why it wont be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It looks amazing, which is why it wont be used. When something looks that good, owners are too stupid to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 They would think "that's a great third kit." The reality is though that they'd need a kit provider willing to make it. They'll get a cookie-cutter or something bland like FCE's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuire Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 That would be an awesome jersey, but I highly doubt the powers that be are smart enuf to embrace this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomurphy1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I love the colour scheme, however I believe the use of 'Royal' in a name is limited by law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I love the colour scheme, however I believe the use of 'Royal' in a name is limited by law. Not sure if it's limited by law but we do already have a pretty big youth club in the city called the Royals. http://www.ottawaroyals.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Wow that jersey is gorgeous! I love the colours, but I'd change the scarf to a scroll type concept. I know that is the classic done everywhere but there's a reason for that - it looks professional and distinguished. I absolutely love the colours, though. I certainly hope it could get done. Does Canada have any athletic/sports wear companies that are options when it comes to having a customized jersey created? Surely there has to be a company that would be approachable in order to have a concept like this made. Is Admiral Canadian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkolish3 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I love the colours and the jersey but the name not so much, I mean Royal Ottawa, an Ottawa resident would surely know not to use that name. I love it but here's my suggestion Fortuna Ottawa This is the original picture, I happen to like the green and purple thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Wait, which Star Trek species uses that as their symbol? Romulans or Cardassians? I'm kidding I'm kidding. Really interesting concept, although the colours make it very difficult to make out the details. Could you repost it in black and white or another non-coloured scheme in order to clarify the detail?

Grizzly Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I also do not like the Royal Ottawa name. Surely the team from our nation's capital should be associated with something Canadian and not the monarchy of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keano Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Great design dmont I like the color continuity with other sports traditions in the city, and your kit idea is nice and classic yet unique. I don't like the Royal though, just a subjective thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argh1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Love the design. Question the Royal though. Where a large part of Metro Ottawa is on the Gatineau side would not an incorporation of Ottawa/Outauoais be better for marketing? Not that familiar with Greater Ottawa.....just asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkolish3 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Okay since no one else seems to pick up on it, the reason that I think Royal Ottawa is a bad name for an Ottawa soccer team is that the local mental hospital is called the Royal Ottawa.

Keano Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well now that you mention the mental hospital angle, I think the Impact really missed out on what would have been the perfect rebranding name to reflect the team philosophy and management: The Montreal Douglas.

dmont Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 . Thanks for the comments. Did not know that about the mental hospital. Can anyone think of alternative names? Bearing in mind that I'm attached to the crown and don't want to redesign the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be attached to the crown but there are not that many people in Canada under 50 years old who are. If it is on the logos of certain organizations here for historical reasons that is one thing. A Canadian soccer team being founded in 2012/13 should not have a royal association.

Yes there was a time in which Canada and England had a strong relation and our institutions were intertwined. That time is long since past, Canada is independent of England and the monarchy merely has a tenous symbolic meaning. I doubt you will find very many Canadians interested in the monarchy other than the celebrity interest in Will and Kate. A club in Ottawa, our nation's capital, should have symbols representing the history of the city and the country not a symbol representing a foreign monarch.
