The MLS weekend saw the Timbers capitalize on a rotated LAFC and Bruce Arena continue his second-season magic in San Jose
When the then-Montréal Impact rebranded as Club de Foot Montréal in 2021, their fans weren’t shy about showing their disdain.
“It is the dismantling of a dream,” one supporters’ group statement read in part. “We are becoming a bland club, just as many others have become.”
Fans carried the protest into home games, where they vandalized a sign with the new logo – something of a modern, minimalistic hybrid of a snowflake and a sphincter. Co-designer Justin Kingsley defended the badge against slang connotations associating snowflakes with pushovers.
“Fine. Go ahead. Insult us,” Kingsley said. “Underestimate us, underestimate our team and our coach. I invite you to. To see a snowflake as a weak thing? Fine. … but when we come together, we form that impenetrable wall. Good luck to you defeating our storm, our blizzard.”
