MONTREAL - CF Montréal unveiled its new adidas secondary jersey on Thursday, nicknamed "La Main", for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
The new secondary jersey is now available at the Stade Saputo boutique and online HERE.
The nickname of the new secondary jersey refers to Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montreal's main artery “La Main”. This boulevard, which crosses the city from North to South, and divides it from East to West, unites several Montreal communities. It is depicted on the jersey by a vertical blue stripe, located on the side of the heart. The pale blue color of the jersey also reminds us of the St. Lawrence River, Montreal's historic and crucial hub, connecting our city and its inhabitants to the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean.
BMO Financial Group, CF Montréal's presenting partner, once again features prominently at the centre of the jersey for the 13th consecutive MLS season. TELUS, a major partner of the Club, is also back on the right sleeve of the jersey. The front also features the same five symbols as on the Montreal flag and coat of arms.
The back of the jersey features symbols linked to the Club's history and present. To begin with, "Droit Devant" (Straight ahead), taken from CF Montréal's motto: Tous ensemble > Droit devant (All together > Straight ahead). Also featured are the letters "I.M.P.A.C.T.", both the Club's original name and the anagram describing its values: Inclusivity, Memory, Passion, Ambition, Collectivity and Talent.
The video presenting the new jersey features four of the Club's first team players (Matías Cóccaro, Samuel Piette, Nathan Saliba and Joel Waterman), as well as a voice-over from new head coach Laurent Courtois. It also includes the participation of various individuals close to the Club, such as Amy Walsh, Patrice Bernier and Hassoun Camara, as well as young players from CF Montréal Academy and Women's Program, co-founded with BMO.
All around the city, we can all run for the Club. Whatever their point of origin, our runners jog up or down the "Main" before meeting up at the Stade Saputo boutique to discover the new jersey. The video unveiling the new secondary jersey is available HERE.
CF Montréal will play its opening match against Orlando City SC on Saturday, February 24 at 7:30pm at Inter&Co Stadium. The home opener will see CF Montréal take on FC Cincinnati on April 13 at Stade Saputo.
