Any chance, even as rediculous as scrutinizing a rendering, BBTB gets to bend the narrative to fit his world view, he uses it. I don’t think it’s incorrect to assume it would make him happier to be right than for this league to be successful.

I remember listening to an interview with Cherry where he talked about going to an Old Firm derby. Said he loved it.

Most Canadians that say they dislike/hate soccer utilize diving as their number reason. However, that's not the real reason they dislike soccer, it's just a convenient excuse. Most dislike soccer because they just haven't properly witnessed the sport. That is all. Watching the sport at the highest, most exciting level such as a UEFA Champion's league knockout stage game generally converts even the most ardent soccer hater.

A large portion of the blame absolutely falls on the referees who have allowed the game to get to this stage.
We should all be able to agree on two points:
1) divers should be punished
2) thugs should be punished
End of story. Both are equally annoying but one has been policed much better. There are no more Vinnie Jones playing serious football but there are divers at every turn.
I do think the refs have done a disservice to the sport by calling their own bastardized version of the game rather than by the book. For example, if you allow play for an advantage give the player a card after the play stops (if warranted). This is rarely done. Normal fouls in the box are never called either - this encourages diving. If it’s a foul at the centre circle it’s a foul in the box. A player shouldn’t have to go down like they’ve been shot to get a penalty.
But this is the world subjective refereeing has created. It’s 2019 it shouldn’t happen .. let’s call the game by the book and have video ready to break it down if needed. No more bullshit. And if a dive isn’t called in the game and the player gets away with it he has cheated the sport and league - throw the book at them. If they dove it should be a minimum 2 game suspension. And who cares if it’s your star player? This shouldn’t be like MLS.
All players equal, all calls equal.

Like Law 12, the one that outlaws simulation and other unsportsmanlike conduct?
Canadian culture, IMO, is built on a foundation of fair play. Faking injuries and diving are antithetical to that general consensus even if a significant minority admires those who cheat in this way.

I love the kits, all of them, but I do the find the inclusion of tramp stamps on some of the tops slightly amusing.

Yes, Cavalry's away top is a little corny.

Hard to choose as judging these kits against each other is near impossible considering they all have colour schemes and themes that are unique to them.
If you twist my arm....there's something about Halifax home I just can't get enough of.

@BBTB
No, Ottawa just doesn't have the ambition to be a division one club and preferred the free handouts/loans from MLS.
