I always thought Whitecaps stood for the whitecaps on rough seas?? Now they change it to mountains?

Would you rather have those colours and BELL or this?:

Oh my god that's brutal.

It still doesn't vindicate the idiot who allowed bell as our logo.

That one is ugly too, but the colors and logo are still better than the Vancouver shirt.

I like the sounders jerseys. The main sponsor's font isn't bolded like Bell's and the jersey has design styling other than that embedded whitecaps logo into the pattern which simply looks like any Umbro jersey as they do the same thing with their jerseys.

The old logo is much better IMO but maybe they are going to wait and use it as a retro jersey in a year or two.

It looks better on the Jersey from a distance than it does up close. Doesn't make it good looking though. Hate the "Bell" across the front too.

I like the new uniform and logo. The understated uniform looks Premiere league yet the logo is very north american. If they went for the Sheild or Flag patch of the Premeire league that would be too wanna-be ish. As for the uniforms, they're probably going to change every year anyways (isn't that how its done in Europe?). So if you don't like this one, just wait a year.

MLS is completely wannabeish. All the phony tradition, "supporters", "FC", songs and scarves. Ugg.
