I know I posted this in another thread, but this is sponsor and kit related, not official team name and logo related. Perhaps I will just merge the two threads afterwards.

Big News!

Now, for guesses... The Birdies that told me who the sponsor is must be wrong, as the other rumoured sponors both have space in Bentall V (Bell and Citibank Canada)

hmmm....

Bell's colours do match the Caps'

And it's Bell Canada... it has to be
Thibodeau Architecture & Design - Work - Bell Vancouver Offices at Bentall 5

Reedie already told us it would be Bell in the other thread.

What will the new kit look like? I HOPE THE STRIPE ISN'T GONE.

Here's my crappily quickly pieced together take one what I hope it could look like:



The adidas logo would have to go on the sleeve though... it's too crowded on the front.

I tried to match the new logo colours as much as possible.

^^^ Son, if you think the Bell logo wont be at least twice that size you better have your head examined...

 

[italian_stallion21]

I jsut hope its not in the corner like that. I do like the stripe, but I guess we'll find out in about half an hour.

The stream is happening online right now, and my work webfilter has blocked it out, but i saw this on bigsoccer and love it. It's obviously someone's attempt at it via photoshop, but this concept is brilliant.

Will post it up as soon as I see it, or maybe someone else will beat me to it.

Please please!!!

 

[italian_stallion21]

Very old school looking, even the adidas logo. The Bell looks stupid though.

 

[italian_stallion21]

Can you post the link so I can see, I might be able to get a better pic.

Bleh, tennis anyone?

I don't like the logo but I like the jersey.

Things are looking up!

I like it, I think I'd go with the Dark Blue away top as a personal purchase...

Perhaps someone at WFC will see that retro collared piece I posted above and run a third "retro" kit...

 

[italian_stallion21]

Since knvb likes it, I do too.

If it matters, I like it.

why white and black?

Crap I thought that retro jersey that you posted was the new kit! I liked that one a lot...I don't really care for the new official Whitecap kit...mind you, I do prefer it to Toronto and Seattle. The Whitecap t-shirts on the site with the new logo plastered in the middle of the shirt are hideous. The long sleeved t-shirts with smaller logos are acceptable.

im confused?

what the hell is nash wearing?

way too expensive in comparison to the other markets...

i 'll wait until KNVB brings in the knock offs from thailand
