A cross between a fashion show, an art gallery opening and a nightclub rave, Thursday’s event featured players from every CPL team treading down the catwalk as they showed off their uniforms before a crowd of invited guests and dignitaries, while DJs mixed music that blared over the sound system. That being said, and it can’t be stressed enough, this was an important milestone for soccer in Canada. The unveiling of all seven team uniforms drove home the point that the CPL, lest there be any lingering doubts, is very real and coming soon to a stadium near you.
A uniform is also the main thread of fabric – both in literal and symbolic terms – of the club’s culture, the one thing that binds supporter and team closer together than anything else.
