The eight Canadian Premier League teams and Macron have all released their new home and away shirts for the 2024 season, and as usual, we’re reviewing them all. Often in excruciating detail, like we do.

This episode we’re looking at the eight home kits, going left to right, west to east, bestcoast to leastcoast via the vast wasteland of Ontario.

Shirts we discuss in this episode

Pacific FC 2024 home

Vancouver FC 2024 home

Hawkman!

Cavalry FC 2024 home

A sash that looks like a sash, mostly, on Cavalry’s 2022 home. And a Wales shirt, their 2015 home by Adidas.

Valour FC 2024 home

Winnipeg Fury’s 1987 home shirt, their first. By Umbro, but missing the logo. And the Admiral England 1980 home.

Forge FC 2024 home

York United 2024 home

Atlético Ottawa 2024 home

A selection of bad Atlético Madrid home shirts from the past decade.

Halifax Wanderers 2024 home

Nail wall map. It’s not a perfect comparison. You can’t always nail down what inspires you.

And that’s it. Eight nice shirts.

Look for our next episode on all the 2024 CanPL away shirts coming soon.

Thanks for reading along, gang. Enjoy soccer!
